Item Description
This exceptional collection of 6 bottles of rare French wine and champagne, will transform you from a wine enthusiast to a wine connoisseur!
The package includes:
- 1 Bottle of Guy Larmandier Champagne Cramant Grand Cru, 2002, France (Retail Value: $56)
Guy Larmandier has been a long time "Grower Producer" of limited quantities of various champagnes imported into the United States. When reviewed, his champanges typically score high ratings. This is a superb vintage champagne made from the 2002 grapes in his Grand Cru vineyard, Cramant. His champagnes achieve elegance, allied with considerable definition and richness as does this vintage bottling.
- 2 Bottles of Antoine Jobard, White Burgundy (Chardonnay), 1st cru, Meursault "Charmes," 2007, France (Retail value: $93 each bottle)
Reviewer's rate this vintage a 93, stating that it has a wonderfully pure, expressive and elegant nose that is complex but offers up primarily citrus, orchard fruit, and floral aromas that lead to classy, pure and cool medium-bodied flavors that are refined, focused and intense.
- 2 Bottles of Leoville-Barton, Bordeaux, St. Julien, Second Growth (Cabernet, Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend), 1994, France (Retail value: $75 each bottle)
Leoville-Barton produced one of the top wines in each vintage. The 1994 continues to be a classic Leoville-Barton that will repay 20-25 years of cellaring. The wine possess an impressively dense, opaque ruby/purple color, as well as a strikingly intense nose of cedar, vanilla, ripe blackcurrants, and spice. Full-bodied, structured, powerful and muscular, this is the consummate example of a top-notch St. Julien that is meant for long-term cellaring, yet has enough appeal and sweetness of fruit to be drunk at an earlier age. This vintage received a 92 rating. This is a much purchase for Bordeaux enthusiasts!
- 1 Bottle of Cru d'Arche Pugneau, Bordeaux, Sauternes 1995, Trie Exceptionelle, 1995, France (Retail value: $115)
Cru d'Arche Pugneau chateau produces a Sauternes Blend Sweet White Dessert wine from Bordeaux, France. In certain years this producer will take the finest of his grapes in an exceptional year and produce a "Trie Exceptionelle" bottling as is the case here for 1995. This Chateau is so small that very few are familiar with this producer, including many in Bordeaux, and when they are reviewed ratings score in the mid-90s.
