We are taking orders for E. Guigal's 2007 Chateauneuf (due to arrive in April) as well as offering more spectacular Rhone deals. Puech Haut is tearing up the wine press again with their latest release and we still have more Pallieres Gigondas. The magnum of their Terrases du Diable is the ultimate deal. Let us know how many you might like to reserve. Here are the details...
Cheers,

Pre-Sale $39.99 750mL
One
of the finest Chateauneufs made by Guigal, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape
is a blend of 85% Grenache and the rest Syrah and Mourvedre.
Full-bodied with lots of kirsch, blackberry, raspberry, camphor and
licorice, this is a classic example of both Chateauneuf du Pape and
Provencal viticulture. It is aged in both tank and foudre for 3-4 years
prior to being released. Drink it over the next 20 years. It is amazing
that Guigal can consistently produce a wine of this majesty.

2010 Chateau Puech-Haut Cuvee Prestige Coteaux du Languedoc
On Sale $16.99 750mL
Even
better than the brilliant ’09, with more elegance and freshness, the
2010 Château Puech-Haut Coteaux du Languedoc Saint-Drézéry Cuvée
Prestige is a custom cuvee made by Philippe Cambie and Eric Solomon. An
absurd value and a blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, and
5% Carignan that’s aged half in concrete and half in neutral barrel, it
possesses a vivid, semi-opaque purple color to go with captivating
aromas of raspberry liqueur, cassis, fresh flowers, sappy underbrush,
and licorice-like qualities that simply soar from the glass. On the
palate, this impeccably put together Languedoc has a pure, polished
profile, with a sappy, resinous tactile sensation in its full-bodied
texture, perfect balance, and a long, seamless finish. While no
lightweight, it is in no way over the top and has real poise and
elegance that is married to plenty of power and depth. While it has the
balance and tannin structure to evolve gracefully for upwards of a
decade, I see no reason to hold off.
