Cellar Defender™ 2010 Bordeaux - Chateau Bellevue On Sale $11.99 Winter Sale Continues - 20% off any mixed 12 bottles, 10% off any six* I just spent the day on Monday tasting through a good cross section of the 2011 Bordeaux vintage at the Union des Grands Crus tasting in New York, and while the good news is that the wines showed better than expected, the bad news is that they are nowhere near the level of quality, concentration and balance of the great 2010's. In a year like 2011, the play may be to wait a while and buy the best Classified Chateau at reasonably low prices and drink them while you wait for the big 2010s and 2009s to mature. But in a year like 2010, a great strategy (aside from stocking the cellar with as much top-notch classified wine as makes sense and hanging on to it for a decade or so) is to buy wines from lesser known producers and Petite Chateau, who in great vintages like 2010 often outperform their humble pedigree and craft wines of superb ripeness, complexity and classic Bordeaux character. The 2010 Bellevue Bordeaux is a great example, with lovely deep ruby/purple hue, aromatic nose of dark fruits, earth, spice, vanilla, plum and tea. On the palate, it is supple, rich and silky, with ample fruit and balancing acidity with silky supporting tannins. Classic, elegant Bordeaux, with pletny of depth and richness, ready to drink now and over the next 3-5 years or so, at an exceptionally affordable price. Stock up! First shipment arrives Friday, more coming next week - Cheers!
