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 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. |

| Chateau Greysac 2008 Medoc |
winemaker's notes:
The color of this wine is a deep ruby-garnet. The bouquet is of fresh red berries, mingled with notes of cedar and spice. On the palate are lovely red fruits, with full rich flavors balanced by silky tannins.
Pair with all meats, chicken, wild mushrooms, and strong cheeses |

| Chateau Pipeau 2006 Saint Emilion Grande Cru |
A blend of 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. It is a wine with expressive fruit, an opulent nose of red berries, roundness on the palate, with good length and a harmonious and elegant finish. Chateau Pipeau is very delightful when young but it also has all the qualities for laying-down of a really great Saint-Emilion. |
