Château de Parenchère 2009 Esprit de Parenchère Red (Bordeaux Supérieur)
- $30
Dominated by new wood, this top cuvée from Château de Parenchère is certainly too young to drink at this stage. Its black, brooding character is very extracted and tough, although there are good hints of juiciness and sweet berry fruits.

- Best Buy
- $11
Attractive wine, boasting a good balance between herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc and a more perfumed character from Muscadelle. It has a creamy character along with intense acidity, leaving a fresh taste in the mouth.

Château de Parenchère 2008 Cuvée Raphaël Red (Bordeaux Supérieur)
- $20
Black currant-dominated wine, all fresh juicy fruit along with balanced dry tannins. The wood is there, with subtle hints of black fruits and acidity.

Château de Parenchère 2009 Red (Bordeaux Supérieur)
- $14
Packed with dry tannins and a dense structure, here is a wine that has weight and potential richness. There is some good weight of blackberry fruits. If drinking now, it needs to open out in a decanter or glass.

Château de Parenchère 2010 Red (Bordeaux Supérieur)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
An attractive, caramel- and red-fruit-flavored wine, this has soft tannins and ripe berry notes that are lined with acidity. Not for long aging, it’s ready to drink now.

Château de Parenchère 2009 Cuvée Raphaël Red (Bordeaux Supérieur)
- $20
Should Bordeaux be 14%? Maybe, but not this wine. It is too big, dry, tannin-dominated and heavy. There is way too much extraction, and it shows in the bitter character.

Château de Parenchère 2011 White (Bordeaux Blanc)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Soft and somewhat dilute, this wine is attractively crisp but does not show great character. It’s a fine apéritif wine, light and gently fruity.

Château de Parenchère 2010 Rosé (Bordeaux Clairet)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Darker in color than normal rosé, Bordeaux Clairet also has more richness. This wine is concentrated with vanilla and sweet strawberry flavors, although with a lack of freshness. Treat this as a red wine.
