Ready to drink now: BH 95 pt 2004 Domaine William Fevre Chablis Preuses

2004 Domaine William Fevre Chablis Preuses

Domaine William Fevre is considered one of the more well-known Chablis producers in the world. Their wines consistently score high with critics such as Robert Parker, Stephen Tanzer, and Burghound. Now, when it came time for us to purchase a William Fevre Chablis, we were offered either the 2007 or the 2004. We picked the 2004 simply because it's drinking well now. Chablis can age for a long time, and we're impatient. Check out the video below to see Gary's thoughts on the '04, then head over to GarysWine.com and pick up a bottle on sale for $64.99.
Reviews: Burghound 95 Points

As I suggested in my in-barrel review, this had the potential to be a first rate stunner of a wine and it has indeed come together. In fact, I see no need to modify the original note, which I repeat here other than to point out that as good as the Valmur and Vaudésir, there is another dimension present here. Green fruit and citrus aromas with a subtle trace of quinine serve to highlight round, sweet and powerful flavors that possess enormous depth of material and the vibrancy of the finish is flat out unbelievable. In a sense, this is a deceptive wine in that no more than the finish appears to be winding down then it picks up again. At present, this is the longest and most persistent wine in the range and while this aspect is subject to change with time, it is a dazzling effort that vies credibly for top honors. I could still taste this wine the next day!

RP 90-93 pt 2007 Domaine Palon Vacqueyras on sale now for $19.99

2007 Domaine Palon Vacqueyras


One of the great benefits of traveling to France is, of course, trying all the various wines from the many wine-producing regions. Our wine buying team did just that back in March of this year when they went in search of a Vacqueyras. During their time in the Rhone, they came across this on from Domaine Palon. When they recorded their findings, they knew that this one was the clear winner. And we give winners the star treatment here at Gary's. You can grab yourself a bottle of this beauty for $19.99, 20% off the original price. For more information, check out Robert Parker's review below:

Reviews: Robert Parker 90-93 points

The 2007 Vacqueyras (a blend of 75% Grenache, 16% Mourvedre, and 9% Syrah) is excellent. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of black currants, black cherries, licorice, smoky roasted herbs, and meat. This full-bodied, plump, succulent effort is a hedonistic Provencal wine that should provide enormous pleasure over the next 5-6 years. Domaine Palon owns 45 acres of vines in the southern Cotes du Rhone, with 12.5 in Vacqueyras.

GARY'S PRICE - $29.99

We're all waiting in anticipation for the 2007 Chateauneuf du Papes to arrive. Heck, we're waiting for all 2007 Southern Rhones to arrive whether it's a Cote du Rhone, Vacqueyras, or Gigondas. But, we also are starting to see some interesting offers on 2005 and 2006 Chateauneuf du Papes. We've passed on many but here's one that we could not resist. A great producer of Chateauneuf du Pape and to be able to sell it at just $29.99! We had to grab some of this and pass the savings on down to our customers. This is just a great $30 bottle of wine that will easily age for 5-10 years if you wanted to wait that long. Enjoy!

Here's what Robert Parker said of Domaine de Beaurenard,

"Domaine de Beaurenard is a consistent estate that has been making top-notch wines for as long as I have been writing about wine, which is now 28+ years."

This has lots of juicy grip, with a strong, briary undertow supporting red and black licorice, hot stone, currant paste, tobacco and chestnut notes. The long, muscular finish is typical of the vintage. Best from 2010 through 2025. 100 cases imported.

An intense and focused red, with concentrated mineral, plum and dark cherry that are flanked by tobacco box notes. Lithe yet powerful, with a long, elegant and finely chiseled finish of slate and white pepper. Drink now through 2015. –KM

We tasted the Clos des Jacobins at our Bordeaux tasting back in September and the wine showed beautifully. Our Bordeaux buyer liked the wine so much that he didn't think we should offer such a low price for a wine of this quality. But, we convinced him to budge on the price since we still have 15 cases in stock. And we need to move some Bordeaux to make room for more 05 and 06 Bordeaux that will be arriving soon.

A great offer on a highly rated 2005 Bordeaux!

Wine Spectator 94 points
Dark in color, almost black. Aromas of raisin, spices and blackberry follow through to a full body, with chewy tannins and a long, powerful finish. Has loads of fruit and toasty oak. This is exciting. A new 1947? Best after 2016. 2,415 cases made.
