Château Hostens-Picant 2007 Cuvée des Demoiselles White (Sainte-Foy Bordeaux)
- $20
A rich, smoky style of wine that revels in its high toast character as well as ripe yellow fruit flavors. It is certainly full in the mouth, a burst of ripeness followed by balancing acidity and a texture of red apple skins. It would be worth aging for another year.

Château Champ des Treilles 2007 Vin Passion White (Sainte-Foy Bordeaux)
- $15
From a biodynamic vineyard, this vivid wine reveals great character. The fruit is ripe, smooth, soft, illuminated by flashes of currants, green plums, a wonderful swathe of creaminess. It feels very complete, not intense, but open and ready to drink.

Château le Pré de la Lande 2004 Cuvée Diane Elevé en Fûts de Chêne Red (Sainte-Foy Bordeaux)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Initial big, tough tannins are then cut through with fresh fruits, plums and black berries. There is some spice here, and maybe the tannins remain hard-edged, but in 2–3 years this will soften out to give a big, bold, rounded wine.

Château l’Enclos 2009 Triple A Red (Sainte-Foy Bordeaux)
- Online Exclusive
- $59
A field blend of the Enclos vineyard has given a superrich wine, densely packed with juicy black plum fruits and sweet tannins. Ripe, full-bodied with a slight alcohol burn.

Château le Pré de la Lande 2004 Réserve de la Famille Red (Sainte-Foy Bordeaux)
- Online Exclusive

Château le Pré de la Lande 2006 White (Sainte-Foy Bordeaux)
- Online Exclusive
A rare example of the sweet wines of Sainte-Foy, this is more semisweet than super sweet. As such, it has attractive apple and custard flavors in a creamy texture lifted by vanilla and lightened by fresh green plum acidity.
