Château l’Avocat 2010 White (Graves)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
The high proportion of Sémillon in the blend gives the wine an extra richness. That rounds out the more herbaceous character and brings in ripe peach and kiwi flavors. It’s already a lively, drinkable wine, but should only improve over another few months.

Château l’Avocat 2009 Red (Graves)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
This spicy, full-bodied effort shows the generosity of 2009. It has firm tannins, but they are matched by the full blackberry and black currant flavors. The dry core from wood aging is likely to soften over the next 2–3 years.

Château l’Avocat 2005 White (Graves)
Rich, intense and rounded, this is a smooth wine that shows a lemon and peach character. The Sémillon dominates, giving it weight, but carefully judged wood rounds it out, giving it extra depth and concentration.

Château l’Avocat 2006 White (Graves)
- $19
Made by the winemaking team of Château du Seuil, Château l’Avocat’s white is a fresh, citrus and apples wine, given broadness by some barrel fermentation. There is a grassy character that comes through, giving a crisp, mouthwatering finish. Screwcap.

Château l’Avocat 2008 Red (Graves)
- $19
A finely structured wine with dusty tannins surrounded by attractive black currant fruits. Wood flavors give extra complexity to a wine that has fine juicy acidity and spice. Age for two years, but can be enjoyed now.

Château l’Avocat 2004 Red (Graves)
- Online Exclusive
Fine, fruity wine, showing good red berry and cherry fruits, the acidity and freshness smoothed by wood aging. It has fine balance, a structure that promises some aging (2–3 years) and the light, fresh finish that is the hallmark of 2004 in Bordeaux.

Château l’Avocat 2006 Red (Graves)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Classically structured, which means dry tannins mixed with fresh black currant juice, and set over a bed of tight wood. This is a firm wine, perhaps lean for the vintage, but with a sense of balance and structure.

Château l’Avocat 2011 White (Graves)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
In this soft wine, a herbaceous character evolves into ripe yellow- and white-fruit flavors. It’s crisp and clean, yet it has a soft texture that’s full and rich. It is not for aging and will be ready in six months. Screwcap.
