Value Bordeaux |
|
 |
The term Value Bordeaux may
strike some readers as an
oxymoron. It is true that
many of the great, rare wines
of Bordeaux sell at very high
prices. But there is another,
less well known category of
Bordeaux wines that provides
exceptional value.
While Richard’s is known for
its offering of the great
chateaux and estate wines of
France, California and Italy,
we take special pride in
searching the wine regions of
the world for very good wines
that we can offer our
customers at prices below $40
per bottle.
We invite you to join us in
enjoying these
high-value wines from the
Bordeaux region of France,
where fine red wines have been
made for centuries using the
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and
Cabernet Franc grapes.
Bordeaux also makes nice,
soft, dry white wines, mostly
from the Sauvingon Blanc
grape.
You may be surprised by these
Value Bordeaux wines. We are
confident you will be
pleased.

| Chateau Bailloux-Rival 2006 Bordeaux Superieur |
The color in this great value Bordeaux is a medium purple with a nose of oak and a touch of candied violets. The flavors on the palate dark berry fruits and a nice smokiness from the well integrated oak. The finish is surprisingly complex and long for a wine in this price range. |

| Chateau Corbin 2006 St. Emilion |
Another sleeper of the vintage from an estate that has been doing everything right since 1998, this deep purple-hued 2006 exhibits sweet blue and blackberry fruit intermixed with notions of licorice, camphor, and flowers. The wine possesses outstanding concentration, medium to full body, moderately firm, but sweet, noble tannins, and a long finish. The ripeness of the fruit suggests a certain degree of accessibility, but this St.-Emilion will age easily for 12-15 years. |
