From the property owned by the Burgundian Roux family, this wine shows a fine mix of elegance and style with some dark, ripe fruit flavors. It is certainly a cut above the normal vin de pays d’Oc Merlot, a structured, shapely wine. Not imported.

$8
From a 50-acre property owned by the Roux family of Saint-Aubin in Burgundy, this Chardonnay is obviously made by specialists in the art of vinifying this grape. It has tropical flavors, ripe and full-bodied, with some touches of vanilla. Drink now and over the next year.

Good ripe blackberry fruit flavors, ripe tannins and a dense structure mark this wine, which is packed with young fruit. A fine food accompaniment, especially for a barbecue. Not imported.
