Château Tour de Mirambeau 2000 Cuvee Passion Bordeaux Rouge Red (Bordeaux)
- $19
Jean-Louis Despagne has made a deep, dark-colored wine from his flagship property. It is polished and smooth, with rich fruit that is still dominated by wood at this stage, but with powerful dark fruit flavors underneath. This is a wine with great intensity and the chance to age for at least 10 years.

Château Tour de Mirambeau 2003 Semillon Noble Sémillon (Bordeaux Blanc)
- Online Exclusive
A beautifully ripe wine made in tiny quantities (5 barrels) in exceptional years from a small parcel of Sémillon. It’s rich and unctuous, filled with flavors of molasses and honey, spiced with dry botrytis. There’s an intense, smoky aftertaste.

Château Tour de Mirambeau 2002 Cuvée Passion White (Bordeaux)
- Editors' Choice
- $19
Old vines, low yields and fermentation in wood give great complexity to this top cuvée from the Despagne family. There is a touch of wood flavor to this wine, but the main impression is of delicious, fresh fruit that has gained maturity from bottle age. It is in balance, with good acidity to give it a final lift.

Château Tour de Mirambeau 2003 Cuvée Passion Red (Bordeaux)
For a red from the heart of the white wine country of Entre-deux-Mers, this is powerfully dense. It boasts plenty of wood flavors to go with the black currant and dry tannins. But it also has an underlying richness and fine, firm structure. Hold for at least 5 years.

Château Tour de Mirambeau 2006 Réserve Red (Bordeaux Rosé)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Nettles and hedgerow aromas on what is a delicious rosé. It talks of Merlot, but the reality is more about fresh, crisp red fruits and light acidity. A big success.

Château Tour de Mirambeau 2007 White (Bordeaux Blanc)
- Best Buy
- $13
Powerful and rich, from superripe grapes, this wine follows a style in Bordeaux that seems to want to make white Burgundy. It is creamy, rounded, spicy from toast, with white fruits, only a touch of citrus, and a full, intense aftertaste.

Château Tour de Mirambeau 2008 Réserve White (Bordeaux Blanc)
- Best Buy
- $13
Hugely herbaceous, this appeals now for its currant, green plum, pink grapefruit and lime character. Otherwise, age for 2–3 years to soften the forward burst of freshness and bring out more subtle notes.

Château Tour de Mirambeau 2005 Réserve Red (Bordeaux)
- $15
This is all about great fruit bursting out of the glass. Red fruits dominate, with smooth tannins in support. There is a density at the heart of the wine, layered with fresh acidity. Drink now, but will age over 2–3 years.
