1996 Chateau Leoville Poyferre
The 1996 vintage from Château Léoville Poyferré, produced in the appellation of Saint‑Julien within Bordeaux, is considered a classic, structured Left Bank wine that has aged gracefully. Typically Cabernet Sauvignon–dominant with supporting Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, it now shows mature aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, tobacco, graphite, and dried flowers. On the palate it is elegant and fully developed, with softened tannins carrying flavors of cassis, leather, earth, and subtle spice, finishing long and savory. Widely praised by critics and often rated in the mid-90s, it is regarded as one of the stronger wines of the 1996 vintage and is currently at peak maturity, though well-stored bottles can continue to drink beautifully for several more years.

1998 Chateau La Mondotte
The 1998 Château La Mondotte is a powerful yet refined Right Bank Bordeaux from Saint-Émilion, produced by Château La Mondotte, a tiny, elite estate owned by Stephan von Neipperg and part of his family’s portfolio that also includes Château Canon-la-Gaffelière. The vineyard covers only about 4.5 hectares on a high limestone plateau with clay soils, a terroir known for producing intensely concentrated wines with strong structure and aging potential. The estate rose to global fame in the late 1990s after receiving critical acclaim for its richly textured, modern style, becoming one of the so-called “garage wines” that helped redefine Saint-Émilion’s reputation for small-production luxury bottlings. Typically a blend dominated by Merlot with a significant portion of Cabernet Franc, the 1998 vintage shows dense dark fruit, espresso, truffle, and mineral notes with firm yet polished tannins, illustrating both the power of the vintage and the château’s signature style of depth, precision, and longevity.

1986 Chateau La Dominique
The 1986 Château La Dominique is a structured and age-worthy Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé from an estate with roots dating back to the 16th century, situated on prime clay and gravel soils bordering Pomerol, adjacent to celebrated neighbors such as Château Cheval Blanc and Château Figeac. Owned for many years by the Fayat family, La Dominique has long been recognized for producing wines that balance Right Bank richness with notable backbone and aging potential. The 1986 vintage in Bordeaux was marked by a warm summer followed by a dry September, resulting in thick-skinned grapes with firm tannins and excellent structure—particularly favorable for Cabernet varieties. The blend typically centers on Merlot (around 70–80%), supported by Cabernet Franc and a meaningful portion of Cabernet Sauvignon, which contributes to the wine’s firm framework and longevity. Aged in French oak barrels, the 1986 La Dominique displays classic notes of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, tobacco, and earthy spice, with a muscular tannic profile that has softened gracefully over decades. While often overshadowed by the more opulent 1982 vintage, 1986 is revered by traditionalists for its power and classicism, and La Dominique’s proximity to Pomerol lends it a subtle richness that complements the vintage’s hallmark structure, making it a compelling and historically significant expression of mature Right Bank Bordeaux.

2000 Chateau Monbousquet
he 2000 Château Monbousquet is a bold and modern expression of Saint-Émilion from an estate whose history dates back to the 16th century, though it rose to international prominence after Gérard Perse purchased and revitalized the property in 1993. Located on the limestone and clay slopes near the border of Pomerol, Monbousquet was elevated to Grand Cru Classé status in 2006, reflecting the dramatic improvements in quality under Perse’s direction. The celebrated 2000 vintage—widely regarded as one of Bordeaux’s finest at the turn of the millennium—benefited from ideal growing conditions, producing ripe, concentrated fruit. The blend typically features a high proportion of Merlot (around 60%), complemented by Cabernet Franc (approximately 30%) and a notable amount of Cabernet Sauvignon (around 10%), which is relatively uncommon on the Right Bank and contributes additional structure and aging potential. Aged in a high percentage of new French oak, the 2000 Monbousquet is opulent and full-bodied, offering layers of blackberry liqueur, plum, espresso, chocolate, and spice, supported by velvety tannins and impressive length. The wine became something of a cult favorite, earning high praise from critics including Robert Parker, and is often cited as a defining example of the “modern” Saint-Émilion style—rich, powerful, and hedonistic—while still maintaining the limestone-driven freshness characteristic of its terroir.
