Premieres Côtes de Bordeaux Wines

Sort By:

Chateau Suau 2005 Cuvée Prestige Red (Premieres Côtes de Bordeaux)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $27

A dense and complex wine, packed with ripe fruit while preserving an elegant demeanor. The tannins are dry, while the sweet fruit is developing well. Balanced, just waiting a year or so to show its best. — R.V. (12/15/2010)

Château Mont-Pérat 2003 Red (Premieres Côtes de Bordeaux)

Online Exclusive

A concentrated and dense wine. Intense in its wood aging, this is still a young wine. The fruit is certainly rich, with black currants dominant overlain with spice from the wood and with dark tannins. — R.V. (11/1/2007)

Château Carignan 2006 Red (Premieres Côtes de Bordeaux)

Price $24

Always one of the leaders in the Premières Côtes, Château Carignan has produced a ripely juicy 2006. It is a wine that brings considerable weight, the dark fruits melding into tannins. It should age well over the next 5–6 years. — R.V. (6/1/2011)

Château La Rame 2006 La Charmille Red (Premieres Côtes de Bordeaux)

Online Exclusive

Price $24

Ripe, smooth, rich fruits, juicy strawberry flavor and fresh acidity. The texture is solid and dense, with an obvious potential for aging. — R.V. (12/15/2010)

Château Lagarosse 2005 Red (Premieres Côtes de Bordeaux)

Online Exclusive

Price $20

Firmly structured, showing dense tannins over the black currant fruits and fresh acidity, this is an attractively balanced wine, packed with ripe fruit from the great 2005 vintage, but keeping its freshness and elegance. — R.V. (6/1/2009)

Château Carignan 2006 Prima Red (Premieres Côtes de Bordeaux)

A dark-colored wine, smoky and toasty, perhaps too much. It has weight, with shafts of fruit coming through the wood dryness. The main wine of the château is better balanced than this special cuvée. — R.V. (6/1/2011)

Château Mont-Pérat 2004 Red (Premieres Côtes de Bordeaux)

Price $34

Owned by the Despagne family, who make some of the best whites from the Entre-deux-Mers, Mont-Pérat is one of the family’s red wine estates. This is dominated by Merlot, giving great juicy fruit flavors, underpinned by some wood, and a velvet, ripe texture. — R.V. (6/1/2007)

Château Cabredon 2007 Tradition Red (Premieres Côtes de Bordeaux)

Online Exclusive

Eighteen months in wood have dried out the fruit, and now the wine needs time to come together. The black plum weight is here, with a rich potential to bring out the sweet, juicy flavors. — R.V. (12/15/2010)
