• Gold Medal Bordeaux under $15
The verdict is in: The 2008 vintage in Bordeaux is yet another great vintage. And the best part is that prices have actually come down despite the high quality!
Robert Parker on the 2008 vintage, "..The 2008 vintage turned out to be excellent, with a number of superb wines that are close to, if not equal to the prodigious 2005 or 2000 vintages.."
The Chateau La Chapelle Maillard is our first 2008 Bordeaux to arrive in the stores. A Gold Medal Winner and it's under $15. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc.
This is a well-balanced Bordeaux with nice red fruit character, notes of cassis and chocolate, and a structured, toasty oak-inflected finish. Well done for under $15.
