Château du Domaine de l'Eglise，位處 法國波爾多右岸的Pomerol波美侯村， 是相當細的一個產酒村，主要種植Merlot 和Cabernet Franc 為主， 波爾多最貴紅酒Petrus 也來自此村，近二十年的出品被飲家推崇備至。

Château du Domaine de l'Eglise 是 Casteja 家族1973年買下的其中一個產業，另外有左岸5級莊 Batailley, Lynch Moussas, 右岸St-Emilion GCC Trottevieille 等等， 實力雄厚，對酒質控制非常嚴格。

Château du Domaine de l'Eglise 是波美侯最悠久的酒莊之一，歷史可追朔至1589年。坐落於波美侯高地中央，土壤多為砂礫黏土，平均樹齡約40年，相鄰當地教堂，便因此得名，亦與Petrus酒莊相距不遠，附近還有Rouget, L'Eglise Clinet 酒莊等等，地段土質不容忽視。

深紅酒色，於60%新橡木桶內陳年16個月，酒體圓潤優雅、輕柔細緻，帶有櫻桃、桑子、紫羅蘭、烏梅等香氣；原瓶醒酒1小時，果香越是濃郁，此酒90%Merlot, 10%Cabernet Franc, 難以估計一般Merlot(左岸都唔得)會有此香氣, 只因pomerol靚田加持。酒體中等，開瓶口腔帶有點苦味，像是來自樹梗，也很有礦物味感覺，醒酒1小時後，苦味淡化，果香增多和圓潤單寧平衡得好好，收尾帶有絲絲雪茄盒香味。如果中段deep多少少，更有L'Eglise Clinet的影子。

Clos de l'Oratoire 2006

分級：Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe
產區： Saint Emilion, Bordeaux
品種：90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc
木桶陳年： 17個月法國橡木桶，70%新桶。

91 Points Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (181), February 2009:

blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, it is a surprisingly opulent, flamboyant, fleshy, soft crowd-pleaser displaying abundant amounts of smoked herbs, sweet black cherry and cassis fruit, licorice, espresso roast, chocolate, and toast. Full-bodied with superb concentration as well as a beautifully textured mouthfeel, this 2006 should drink well for 10-15+ years. Like all of the Neipperg estates, this wine's capsule has a clever anti-fraud device, which I think will be increasingly employed by many French estates.This nearly 30-acre estate, which was purchased several years ago by Stephan von Neipperg (owner of Canon La Gaffeliere and La Mondotte), performed exceptionally well in 2006.

91 Points Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, May 2009:

Full ruby-red. Inky blackberry, black cherry, licorice and minerals on the nose. Sweet and densely packed, with a lush texture but also good enlivening minerality to the blueberry and dark chocolate flavors. Seamless and vinous Saint-Emilion, finishing with very suave tannins and noteworthy length and energy. An outperformer in 2006.

【法國隆河靚莊Pegau 教皇新堡紅酒】

Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Reservee 2014

WS93/JS91/WA90

*93 pts Wine Spectator:* 
A gutsy style, with a frame of brick dust around a core of steeped cherry, plum and blackberry fruit. The back end pulls in dried sage, savory and tobacco notes. The finish lingers over a singed chestnut hint. Rock-solid and unabashedly old-school. Best from 2020 through 2030.

*91 pts James Suckling:* 
A wild, rustic edge to this assertive and punchy fruit-driven Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A smooth black cherry and blood plum-flavored palate. Appealing tangy freshness to close. The rusticity denotes drink now or as a much older wine.

Chateau Bourgneuf 2011

In the heart of the prestigious Pomerol appellation, Château Bourgneuf is spread over 9 hectares in one unique holding. Bourgneuf has belonged to the Vayron family since 1840. Eight generations have succeeded each other, transmitting their love for this land and its history.

91 pts James Suckling, February 19th, 2014:

A wine with a pretty ripe-fruit character and ripe, chewy tannins. Some toasted oak as well. I think it needs another two or three years to soften the tannins and bring it all together. Serious 2011 Pomerol. 

90-92 pts Neal Martin – robertparker.com:

The Vayron family have conjured a lovely Pomerol this year… I appreciate its purity and feminity… You know, this could be the best Bourgneufs that I have tasted en primeur. Chapeau! Tasted twice with consistent notes. 

Chateau Ormes de Pez 2010

產區：Saint Estephe, Bordeaux

波爾多超級中級莊, 幾百間中級莊排行前7位，質量已拍住或超出某些列級5級莊。Cazes 家族除了大仔(靚次伯Lynch Bages)外，另一個仔，共用同一個釀酒團隊。 2010年波爾多靚年份， JS95/WE93/WS91/vivino3.9(672酒評)。

95 points James Suckling :

Wonderful aromas of currants and blackberries with hints of spices. Full body, with fabulous tannins and a long and creamy texture to the finish. I love the depth of fruit to this. Best ever from here. Great value for the vintage.

93 points Wine Enthusiast:

Although this wine has tannins, it’s the fruit that shines, with its delicious black-currant flavor and acidity. It is more fine and elegant than it is powerful, a pleasant surprise from Saint-Estèphe in this vintage For medium-term aging.

91 points Wine Spectator:

Dark and winey, with good damson plum, black currant and mulled spice notes pushed by a tangy iron note and flecks of savory and chalk on the finish. The judicious toast lets the pure fruit drive along. Best from 2015 through 2025. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.

Chateau La Dominique 2006 波爾多右岸列級

A predominantly Merlot blend, complimented with Cabernet Franc and a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged entirely in oak barrels, of which, 50-70% are new for 15-18 months.

90 Points The Wine Advocate:

After several listless performances from this superb terroir near Cheval Blanc and the Pomerol border, La Dominique's 2006 exhibits a dense purple color and a sweet nose of licorice, nori (the seaweed wrapper used in sushi restaurants), raspberry, and kirsch. Full, with a certain flamboyance, ripe tannins, and a layered, long finish, this is a terrific La Dominique to drink over the next 12-14 years.

89 Points International Wine Cellar:

Full ruby-red. Aromas of black plum, molten chocolate, mocha and licorice show a slightly liqueur-like aspect. Creamy-sweet and lush, with a generous texture to the black cherry, violet and bitter chocolate flavors. Finishes sweet and smoothly tannic but with good backbone. This is the first vintage to be vinified by Jean-Luc Thunevin.

Chateau Lafon Rochet 2010

波爾多4級莊 NM94/WE93/WS91

67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.

94 pts Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, February 2014:

Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux 2010 tasting. Wow - this Saint Estèphe appears to be just getting into its stride. This seems reticent on the nose at first, but modest coaxing reveals scents of blackberry mixed with gravel and incense. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, firm tannins and a pleasant salty tang on the finish. Masculine and structured, with good persistency and a lovely austere personality, Basile Tesseron and his team have overseen an aloof but engaging Lafon-Rochet that could be the dark horse of the appellation. Tasted January 2014.

Chateau de Saint Cosme Gigondas Valbelle 2009 (WS94)

Blend: 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah

#10 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2011

94 Wine Spectator : A gorgeous wine, with an interplay of ripe, dripping blackberry, cassis and plum sauce flavors providing the flesh, offset by smoldering charcoal, tobacco and bittersweet cocoa notes, which provide the angles. The long finish has nice intensity. Best from 2012 through 2022. 1,175 cases made.

Winemaker notes: We didn't release Valbelle in 2008 because the wine had been blended into the Gigondas Classique. This is nice to see Valbelle coming back in 2009 with its very specific style. It generates complexity, depth and balance. 2009 Valbelle combines well the tannic power of the vintage with the roundness and the softness always found in Valbelle. Find notes of strawberry, thyme, white pepper and graphite.

Chateau La Fleur de Bouard 2012, Lalande de Pomerol

品種： 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon

91 points James Suckling (Feb 2015):

 A very polished red with plum, wet earth, blackberry and spice character. Full body, soft, chewy tannins and a juicy finish. Drink in 2017.

91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (April 2015):

The 2012 Fleur de Boüard (in bottle) offers up copious quantities of dark raspberry, blueberries and spring flowers. It has soft velvety tannins, medium to full body, and a very sexy, lush mouthfeel. This is a gorgeous opaque, ruby/purple Lalande de Pomerol that no one will be able to resist. Drink it over the next decade. 

90 points Vinous (AG) (Jan 2016):

The 2012 Fleur de Boüard, from Hubert de Boüard property in Lalande de Pomerol, is an attractive, open-knit wine that will please readers with its inviting personality. Sweet dark cherries, smoke, licorice, game and savory herb nuances add complexity, but it is the wine giving nature that makes it impossible to resist. 

Chateau La Pointe 2011
Merlot 85% , Cabernet Franc 15%

90 points  Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #212 Apr 2014

This is a strong effort from La Pointe, another estate that seems to be producing better and better wines. A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2011 reveals a dense ruby/plum/purple color, a sweet perfume of black raspberries, black currants, licorice and subtle high quality oak, medium to full body, and an expansive, broad, pure texture. Drink this sleeper of the vintage over the next decade.

90 pts James Molesworth (WineSpectator.com, March 2014):

Very solid, with a ganache spine supporting the enticing dark plum and fig fruit flavors, while bramble and singed wood spice notes fill in on the finish. Approachable now, this should mellow in the short-term. Drink now through 2021. 7,500 cases made.

(March 2012, Primeurs tasting comments by Hubert de Boüard de Laforest): “Deep, bright and lively colour with a dark purple rim. The nose opens out with floral notes such as violet that evolve towards ripe fruits, blackberry and raspberry. The palate is generous and long with a very pleasant freshness. This freshness persists on the finish and complements the lingering notes of tobacco and licorice. The tannins are taut and enveloped in a silky smoothness, a sure characteristic of an outstanding Pomerol. The 2011 perfectly demonstrates Château La Pointe’s reborn style developed over the last few vintages.”

Chateau Malartic Lagraviere 2006

Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc

92 points Wine Enthusiast:
An evocatively perfumed wine, with aromas of pine, eucalyptus and spice. To taste, it is open, generous, its tannins cushioned inside ripe, jelly black fruits. Everything mingles well, the core of dryness an essential component of the richness of the wine.

90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
Proprietor Alexandre Bonnie has produced brilliant white and red wines at this estate's NASA space age-looking winemaking facility. I remember these wines from the early days of The Wine Advocate, and they were undrinkable swill. That is certainly not the case today. This is classic Pessac-Leognan with leafy tobacco, smoky red and black currant, forest floor, cedar, and graphite notes. It is a medium-bodied wine of impeccable purity, texture, and balance.

Macon Verze Domaine Leflavie 2015

產區: Macon Verze
品種: Chardonnay

這款酒呈黃綠色，香氣乾淨純美，帶有奶油香，口感飽滿，微微蜂蠟的味道，酸度新鲜清爽，整體精致有趣。

Allen Meadows: "An overtly fruity nose of yellow orchard fruit with a floral top note leads to nicely rich, round and generous flavors that possess good mid-palate flesh and an interesting hint of strawberry on the delicious finale. This is built on its fruit yet it is not without its attractions."

Domaine Leflaive produces magnificent wines, the hallmark of which is loyalty to and typicity of individual terroir. The wines have personality and extraordinary purity – perfect ambassadors for the domaine's belief in biodynamic viticulture. At the heart of the biodynamic philosophy is the individual treatment of vines by plant-based compounds, according to a strict timetable, governed by the lunar cycle. Pesticides and chemicals have long been confined to the past under the late Anne-Claude stewardship, she started biodynamic experiments in the early nineties, and the practices were fully endorsed from 1997. The prime motivation initially was concern about the sustainability of the land but the rewards have extended far beyond the vineyards, which have thrived, to very obvious improvements in quality in the finished wines – a welcome and unexpected bonus.
