Maison Bouachon 2003 Dédication Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
- Online Exclusive
- $70
The $70 price tag is silly, but the wine itself is very good, combining soft tannins with ample cherry fruit and layers of dried spices. It's full and round in the mouth, long, warm and comforting on the finish. Drink now-2015.

Maison Bouachon 2006 Les Rabassières Red (Côtes du Rhône)
- $17
Maison Bouachon is an old négociant house based in Gigondas. It’s now owned by the Skalli family who is trying to raise the level of the wines. This Côtes-du-Rhône cuvée is a promising effort, boasting plenty of black cherry fruit to go with hints of leather and game. The fruit shows a hint of sur-maturité, yet remains fresh, while the mouthfeel is round yet not…

Maison Bouachon 2005 La Rouvière Rosé (Tavel)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Very dry, citrusy and long on the finish, this is a bit different from the typical Tavel. Sour cherry and watermelon rind notes provide a hint of pink flavor. Interesting and different; probably better as a white wine stand-in than as a traditional rosé.

Maison Bouachon 2007 Les Rabassières Red (Côtes du Rhône)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Restrained earthy, leather and subtle baked black plum aromas. Full-bodied and plush on the palate, dense layers of rich, ripe forest fruit with hints of cola, licorice, clove and black pepper. Ripe, smooth and long with firm gripping tannins.

Maison Bouachon 2005 Duc de Montfort Red (Gigondas)

Maison Bouachon 2003 Duc de Montfort Red (Gigondas)
- Online Exclusive
A full-bodied, rather soft Gigondas, loaded with scents of dried-fruit compote, a dusting of cinnamon, a curl of citrus zest and a drizzle of chocolate. A bit lacking in structure, but big, flavorful and ultimately satisfying. Drink now.

Maison Bouachon 2003 Pierrelongue Red (Vacqueyras)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Nicely balanced, with no elements overpowering any of the others, just a nice mix of black cherries, chocolate and spice cake in a mouthfilling, yet firmly structured wine. Ends with some silky tannins, suggesting that holding another 2-3 years may smooth it out even more.

Maison Bouachon 2005 La Tiare du Pape Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Enjoyably full bodied and creamy textured, this slightly chewy Châteauneuf would rate higher if not for its slightly pruny, raisiny fruit.
