Château Fonguillon 2005 Red (Montagne-St.-Èmilion)

A smooth and velvet-textured wine, where the tannins are a cushion for the ripe plum juice fruit. Herbs and wood spice contribute to this rich and full-bodied wine.

Château Calon 2005 Red (Montagne-St.-Èmilion)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
This so-called satellite appellation of Saint-Èmilion is able to produce attractive, forward wines, like this one. The ripe, soft structure brings out the black fruits, rounded out by sweet juiciness. There is a slight edge of astringency, but then the smoky wood and berry flavors kick back in.

A smooth, velvet-structured wine, very soft and rich, this is elegance in a bottle. Black plum and berry flavors reign supreme here, supported by supple wood.

Château Plaisance 2005 Red (Montagne-St.-Èmilion)

Château la Grande Barthe 2003 Red (Montagne-St.-Èmilion)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Yes, it has 2003 ripeness, but there is also some restraint here. The tannins are still defiantly young, the fruit packed with black plum jelly flavors. It promises 2–3 years’ aging.

Château la Fleur 2008 Red (Montagne-St.-Èmilion)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Juicy wine, with very dominant acidity. The flavors are of bright red plums and berries, but the wine lacks depth, skimming the surface of taste.

Château Les Rochers Mirande 2000 Red (Montagne-St.-Èmilion)
- $18
Aromas of maple, black pepper and cherry cough drop get it going in a fair to midland direction. The palate is basic, with only some standard berry fruit and oak, while the finish is lengthy and easy, but also kind of mute. In terms of mouthfeel, some hard tannins prevent it from falling into the “friendly” category.
