Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $57

This is a gorgeous wine, the ripe fruit of the year giving weight, the dry botrytis giving intensity. Ginger, sweet orange and a big burst of citrus all balance so well. — R.V. (3/1/2010)

Domaine l'Ancienne Cure 2009 L’Extase Red (Côtes de Bergerac)

Cellar Selection

Price $40

From this top Bergerac producer comes this powerful blend. With its 30% Malbec, it has intense tannins and a firm, solid structure, with dense and richly concentrated blackberry fruit. It does need to age for at least five years. — R.V. (6/1/2012)

Domaine l'Ancienne Cure 2009 Collection Red (Pécharmant)

Price $27

Dark chocolate and black currant flavors dominate this concentrated wine. It is densely tannic, while still allowing room for the brooding fruit to show through. Still young, it will age slowly and impressively over the next five years. — R.V. (6/1/2012)

Domaine l'Ancienne Cure 2010 L’Extase Red (Côtes de Bergerac)

Cellar Selection

Price $39

This is a dark purple colored wine, packed with tannins that come both from the rich fruit and new wood used in aging. It’s still a young wine with black fruits showing strongly through the structure. Powerful and concentrated, it will age well over many years. — R.V. (6/1/2013)

Domaine l'Ancienne Cure 2009 L’Abbaye White (Monbazillac)

Cellar Selection

Blending Sémillon and Muscadelle, this is a rich, unctuous wine with a rich texture. Honey and apricot flavors are underlain with intense acidity that gives this superb wine a fine lift and elegance. It could certainly age, but is delicious now. — R.V. (6/1/2013)

Domaine l'Ancienne Cure 2006 L’Abbaye White (Monbazillac)

Online Exclusive

Price $30

This is the lighter of two sweet wines from Ancienne Cure, but this is still pretty intense. It has great sweet marmalade and orange zest flavors, as much sweet as botrytized. Soft, round and opulent. — R.V. (3/1/2010)

points

Domaine l'Ancienne Cure 2007 L’Abbaye White (Monbazillac)

Domaine l'Ancienne Cure 2005 L’Extase Red (Côtes de Bergerac)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $30

The concentration that Christian Roche produces here is immense, a wine that has dark tannins, the most bitter of chocolate flavors and peppered cherry fruits. Even after four years, this is nowhere open yet, the tannins and the heavy toast wood still dark and dry. Age for 3–4 years more. — R.V. (3/1/2010)
