Domaine de l’Ancienne Cure 2003 L’Extase White (Monbazillac)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $57
This is a gorgeous wine, the ripe fruit of the year giving weight, the dry botrytis giving intensity. Ginger, sweet orange and a big burst of citrus all balance so well.

Domaine de l’Ancienne Cure 2009 Collection Red (Pécharmant)
- $27
Dark chocolate and black currant flavors dominate this concentrated wine. It is densely tannic, while still allowing room for the brooding fruit to show through. Still young, it will age slowly and impressively over the next five years.

- Cellar Selection
- $40
From this top Bergerac producer comes this powerful blend. With its 30% Malbec, it has intense tannins and a firm, solid structure, with dense and richly concentrated blackberry fruit. It does need to age for at least five years.

Domaine de l’Ancienne Cure 2006 L’Abbaye White (Monbazillac)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
This is the lighter of two sweet wines from Ancienne Cure, but this is still pretty intense. It has great sweet marmalade and orange zest flavors, as much sweet as botrytized. Soft, round and opulent.

Domaine de l’Ancienne Cure 2005 L’Extase Red (Côtes de Bergerac)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $30
The concentration that Christian Roche produces here is immense, a wine that has dark tannins, the most bitter of chocolate flavors and peppered cherry fruits. Even after four years, this is nowhere open yet, the tannins and the heavy toast wood still dark and dry. Age for 3–4 years more.

Domaine de l’Ancienne Cure 2010 L’Abbaye White (Bergerac Sec)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
It’s impressive what a small addition of Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle can do to a Sauvignon-Sémillon blend—it turns this into an exotic wine, with spice and lychee flavors.
