Château Hostens-Picant 2007 Cuvée des Demoiselles White (Sainte-Foy Bordeaux)

  1. $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.  — R.V.  (7/1/2009)

Château le Pré de la Lande 2004 Cuvée Diane Elevé en Fûts de Chêne Red (Sainte-Foy Bordeaux)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $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.  — R.V.  (6/1/2009)

Château Champ des Treilles 2007 Vin Passion White (Sainte-Foy Bordeaux)

  1. $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.  — R.V.  (7/1/2009)

Château Martet 2007 Réserve de Famille Red (Sainte-Foy Bordeaux)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $45
This wine hovers between being lightweight and dense. It’s certainly mature, with tar and rose aromas, followed by spice and cigar box notes, and layered with acidity. Drink now.  — R.V.  (2/1/2013)

  • Online Exclusive

From the far eastern edge of Bordeaux, this wine offers delicious, fresh fruits structured by light tannins. Its black currant flavors are right up front, pleasure without complications.  — R.V.  (6/1/2009)

Château l’Enclos 2009 Triple A Red (Sainte-Foy Bordeaux)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $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.  — R.V.  (2/1/2012)

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.  — R.V.  (2/1/2009)
