The warm, dry summer yielded opulent wines built on intense fruit and voluptuous textures. At their best, the 2015s are spectacularly rich, racy wines loaded with personality.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine comes from the vineyards of the well-known Grand Cru Bordeaux property of Château Latour-Martillac, owned by the Kressman family. The wines of Château Latour-Martillac gained widespread attention in 1934, when the red vintage was selected by the Wine and Spirit Benevolent Society of London for the celebration of the coronation of His Majesty King George the VI, King of England in December 1936. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 6 children of the original owner, Jean Kressmann own the domain and continue with the family tradition of wine-making, assisted by the leading wine consultants in Bordeaux. In the 1980’s, they increased the area planted in Sauvignon Blanc to compliment the Semillon, the historical grape variety of the property. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePessac-Leognan is a prestigious appellation for wines produced in a particular area of the Bordeaux region of south-western France. A relatively new appellation, it was carved out of the Graves sub-region in 1987 – recognized in its own right on the merits of its high-quality red and white wines. This was a significant change, as many of the chateaux in what is now Pessac-Leognan were the best performers in the Graves Classification of 1959. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePessac-Leognan’s white wines are made predominantly from Sauvignon Blanc (a required minimum of 25%) and Semillon grapes, and are often matured in oak for greater complexity. These white varieties thrive on the sandier soils of the appellation and produce more age-worthy wines than any other part of the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElsewhere, blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon are best consumed within two years of harvest; in contrast, the best white wines of Pessac-Leognan can develop in bottle for well over a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chateau Latour-Martillac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43038048648,"sku":"CHLM-LC-WH15-7506","price":65.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/products\/lacroix-martillac-blanc-2015-bordeaux-france-pop-up-wine-1-32306281578728.png?v=1773023715"},{"product_id":"chateau-marquis-de-terme-margaux-2016-bordeaux-france","title":"Chateau Marquis de Terme, Margaux (Organic) 2016 -  Bordeaux , France","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;94\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider \\n93\/100 Neal Martin, Vinous\\n92\/100 Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate \\n92\/100 Falstaff Magazin \\n92\/100 Wine Enthusiast\\n91\/100 Decanter\\n91\/100 Jeb Dunnuck\\n90\/100 Wine Spectator \\n\\nSilver, International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition \\n\\nOrganic\\n\\nJeff Leve “...Soft, polished, round and with fruit to spare, this is showing great today and will only get better wine time...floral nuances to the licorice, cherry, black raspberry and smoky overtones. ”\\n\\nNeal Martin, Vinous “...Elegant and cohesive, this is a fine Margaux .........crushed violet and incense infusing the vivacious black fruit.

Pierre Lurton comes from two of the great Bordeaux families. His father Dominique was the youngest son of the paterfamilias François Lurton; his uncle André Lurton who founded the eponymous wine company; his many cousins run châteaux from Pauillac to Pomerol. His mother is from the famous Lafite family.\\n\\nThe influential Club Enologique asserts that Pierre is the most accomplished wine personality of his famous family. Trained as a doctor but swapping his studies for wine making after four years. At 23 he took over Clos Fourtet in St Emilion, one of the fine Lurton properties, and in 1991 he was appointed head of Château Cheval Blanc (it was bought by Bernard Arnault of LVMH in 1998); in 1999 he took on Château d’Yquem, which had just been added to the Arnault portfolio.\\n\\nClub Enologique describes Pierre Lurton as having the world’s most corporate wine job. \\\u0026quot;However he divides his time between two of the world’s most exalted wine properties, but comes down to earth in Entre-deux-Mers, the leafy, unpretentious appellation to the east of Bordeaux at Château Marjosse.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Château Marjosse estate is located in Entre-deux-Mers, on the right bank of Bordeaux.

Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nThe Sauvignon Blanc taste is one of the most identifiable in the world of white wines for a few reasons. First, it always has crisp, high acidity. Second, it has a chemical compound called pyrazine which gives grassy, herbal or bell pepper flavors. When grown in cooler climates or picked early, the herbaceous green character is most prominent. In warmer climates or allowed to hang longer on the vine, the pyrazine character diminishes in favor of riper fruit flavors ranging from grapefruit, to passion fruit and guava.\u0026quot;}\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Decanter \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e89-91\/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e88-90\/100 Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15.5\/20 Vinum Wine Magazine \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e14.5\/20 La Revue du Vin de France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOwned by one of the world's most famous winemakers, Pierre Lurton - president of two of Bordeaux's best-known chateaux, the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) owned Château Cheval Blanc and Château d’Yquem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Plenty of sliced-apple, peach and lemon character with a medium body, fresh acidity and a clean, vivid finish.

The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nSauvignon Gris is a pink-berried mutation of the Sauvignon Blanc grape. It most likely originated around Bordeaux, but has found itself quite at home in Chile. Sauvignon Gris is thinly scattered across other parts of the wine world, including Uruguay, New Zealand, the United States and Switzerland.\\n\\nIts popularity among growers was historically severely limited by its low yields; in France in 2009 there were (officially) only 463 hectares (1144 acres) of vines. However plantings may be on the increase, in the Loire, in Bordeaux to add body to Sauvignon Blanc, and elsewhere around the world. While the clone is not legally permitted in some Loire appellations – such as Sancerre – it is generally agreed that Sauvignon Gris vines are present in a good number of vineyards in such zones.\\n\\nSauvignon Gris is less aromatic than its Sauvignon Blanc sibling, but certainly capable of producing interesting wines. Wines produced from Sauvignon Gris tend to be richer and more voluptuous in texture than Sauvignon Blanc, with ripe fruit flavors of mango and melon as well as citrus notes. The wines are usually dry and tend to have some of the herbaceous notes so typical of the Sauvignon family. The type of color mutation seen in Sauvignon Gris is a naturally occurring phenomenon and reasonably common. For example, Roter Riesling is a pink-skinned mutation of Riesling, Chardonnay Rosé is a mutation of Chardonnay and Pinot Gris is a light-berried variant of Pinot Noir. Sauvignon Gris is also often blended with Sauvignon Blanc, including examples where the former is a minor (usually uncredited) component of New World varietal Sauvignon Blanc wines.\\n\\nThe Sauvignon Blanc taste is one of the most identifiable in the world of white wines for a few reasons. First, it always has crisp, high acidity. Second, it has a chemical compound called pyrazine which gives grassy, herbal or bell pepper flavors.

Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol.

It most likely originated around Bordeaux, but has found itself quite at home in Chile.

However plantings may be on the increase, in the Loire, in Bordeaux to add body to Sauvignon Blanc, and elsewhere around the world. While the clone is not legally permitted in some Loire appellations – such as Sancerre – it is generally agreed that Sauvignon Gris vines are present in a good number of vineyards in such zones.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSauvignon Gris is less aromatic than its Sauvignon Blanc sibling, but certainly capable of producing interesting wines. Wines produced from Sauvignon Gris tend to be richer and more voluptuous in texture than Sauvignon Blanc, with ripe fruit flavors of mango and melon as well as citrus notes. The wines are usually dry and tend to have some of the herbaceous notes so typical of the Sauvignon family. The type of color mutation seen in Sauvignon Gris is a naturally occurring phenomenon and reasonably common. For example, Roter Riesling is a pink-skinned mutation of Riesling, Chardonnay Rosé is a mutation of Chardonnay and Pinot Gris is a light-berried variant of Pinot Noir. Sauvignon Gris is also often blended with Sauvignon Blanc, including examples where the former is a minor (usually uncredited) component of New World varietal Sauvignon Blanc wines.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Sauvignon Blanc taste is one of the most identifiable in the world of white wines for a few reasons.

Situated between the Gironde estuary that runs down to the city of Bordeaux and the Atlantic coast, this is the home of some of Bordeaux’s famous chateaux. The six famous communes of the Médoc are contained within its boundaries: Margaux, Moulis, Listrac, St Julien, Pauillac and St Estèphe.

Malescot St. Exupery can be traced all the way back to 1616 when the Margaux estate was owned by the Escousses family. The Escousses were best known as notaries for the King.\\n\\nNear the close of the century, in 1697 the Bordeaux wine estate was sold to Simon Malescot. Once Simon became the current owner, he followed the tradition of the time and changed the name of the estate to Malescot. Like the previous owner, Malescot also had a connection to royalty. He was the attorney-general to Louis XIV. Malescot remained with the Malescot family until the French revolution. At that point in time, the large estate was divided between three family members.\\n\\nOver the next several years, the formerly robust Bordeaux wine estate of Malescot was split and split again. In 1813, Francois Benoit Dunogues purchased the chateau, reselling it in 1825 to Louis Pierlot. After Pierlot’s demise, his heirs had no interested in the wine business. They quickly resold the property to Comte Saint-Exupery.\\n\\nIn the tradition of Bordeaux chateau in the Medoc , following the lead of Malescot, he also added his name to the estate. The property was now known as Chateau Malescot Saint-Exupery.\\n\\nThe Zuger family bought it in 1955. At the time of the sale to the Zuger family Malescot St. Exupery was in such poor shape, only 7 hectares of vines were planted. Extensive replanting of vineyards took place and within a decade, 80% of the vineyard was planted. The Zuger family, headed by Jean Luc Zuger, who took over in 1994, continue to own and manage Chateau Malescot St. Exupery today. Michel Rolland is the consultant.\\n\\nThe vineyards of Chateau Malescot St. Exupery are situated on a terroir of gravel, chalk and clay soils with iron deposits. The vines are planted to 50% Cabernet Sauvignon , 10% Cabernet Franc , 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot . On average, the vines are 35 years of age.

The six famous communes of the Médoc are contained within its boundaries: Margaux, Moulis, Listrac, St Julien, Pauillac and St Estèphe. The vineyard land that lies outside of these communes is classified as the Haut-Médoc; the result being that you can often find well-known Cru Bourgeois chateaux alongside the Cru Classé chateaux in the same appellation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux.

It is most commonly found alongside Syrah and Mourvedre in the classic Southern Rhone Blend (notably in Cotes du Rhone wines), and is the main grape variety in Chateauneuf-du-Pape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Chateau Malescot 'La Dame de Malescot' 2018 ~ Margaux, Bordeaux, France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16370588},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":9}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;93\/100 James Suckling\\n92\/100 Falstaff \\n93\/100 Falstaff (2017 vintage) \\n90\/100 Falstaff (2016 vintage) \\n92\/100 James Suckling (2015 vinatge) \\n92\/100 Falstaff (2014 vintage)\\n90\/100 Decanter (2012 vintage)\\n\\nJames Suckling \\\u0026quot;This is so drinkable and pretty with fine tannins, as well as currant, spice, cedar and light chocolate aromas and flavors.

The wines being made at the property today are stunning!\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nChateau Malescot St. Exupery has a long history in the Bordeaux wine region and is a Grand Cru Classé Chateau in the original Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. Malescot St. Exupery can be traced all the way back to 1616 when the Margaux estate was owned by the Escousses family. The Escousses were best known as notaries for the King.\\n\\nNear the close of the century, in 1697 the Bordeaux wine estate was sold to Simon Malescot. Once Simon became the current owner, he followed the tradition of the time and changed the name of the estate to Malescot. Like the previous owner, Malescot also had a connection to royalty. He was the attorney-general to Louis XIV. Malescot remained with the Malescot family until the French revolution. At that point in time, the large estate was divided between three family members.\\n\\nOver the next several years, the formerly robust Bordeaux wine estate of Malescot was split and split again. In 1813, Francois Benoit Dunogues purchased the chateau, reselling it in 1825 to Louis Pierlot. After Pierlot’s demise, his heirs had no interested in the wine business. They quickly resold the property to Comte Saint-Exupery.\\n\\nIn the tradition of Bordeaux chateau in the Medoc , following the lead of Malescot, he also added his name to the estate. The property was now known as Chateau Malescot Saint-Exupery.\\n\\nThe Zuger family bought it in 1955. At the time of the sale to the Zuger family Malescot St. Exupery was in such poor shape, only 7 hectares of vines were planted. Extensive replanting of vineyards took place and within a decade, 80% of the vineyard was planted. The Zuger family, headed by Jean Luc Zuger, who took over in 1994, continue to own and manage Chateau Malescot St. Exupery today. Michel Rolland is the consultant.\\n\\nThe vineyards of Chateau Malescot St. Exupery are situated on a terroir of gravel, chalk and clay soils with iron deposits. The vines are planted to 50% Cabernet Sauvignon , 10% Cabernet Franc , 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot . On average, the vines are 35 years of age.

The beautiful chateau was built in 1870 by the owner at the time, Comte Ernest de Lahens. During the late 1800’s, the property was even larger than it is today as Ernest de Lahens was able to increase the size of their vineyards to 345 hectares of vines.\\n\\nThe Haut-Médoc is a sub-appellation within the larger Médoc appellation on the left bank of Bordeaux. Situated between the Gironde estuary that runs down to the city of Bordeaux and the Atlantic coast, this is the home of some of Bordeaux’s famous chateaux. The six famous communes of the Médoc are contained within its boundaries: Margaux, Moulis, Listrac, St Julien, Pauillac and St Estèphe. The vineyard land that lies outside of these communes is classified as the Haut-Médoc; the result being that you can often find well-known Cru Bourgeois chateaux alongside the Cru Classé chateaux in the same appellation.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties.

Situated between the Gironde estuary that runs down to the city of Bordeaux and the Atlantic coast, this is the home of some of Bordeaux’s famous chateaux. The six famous communes of the Médoc are contained within its boundaries: Margaux, Moulis, Listrac, St Julien, Pauillac and St Estèphe. The vineyard land that lies outside of these communes is classified as the Haut-Médoc; the result being that you can often find well-known Cru Bourgeois chateaux alongside the Cru Classé chateaux in the same appellation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux.

But the variety of soils and sub-soils associated with such a complex landscape provides a diversity of terroirs … These are favourable for producing red wines, that are regrettably not sufficiently well-known, but highly prized for the complexity of their aromas, their deep, vivid colour, as well as the concentration and elegance of their tannins.\\\u0026quot; Sommeliers International.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nMerlot is a red wine grape variety with strong historic ties to Bordeaux and the southwest of France. It is the second most-planted red wine grape variety in the world, after Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot is extremely popular in northern Italy, the United States. Chile has built its reputation mainly on its Merlot-based cuvées. Merlot's flavour profile  includes plum and black cherry. Often described as producing smooth, rounded and \\\u0026quot;easy drinking\\\u0026quot; wines.

But the variety of soils and sub-soils associated with such a complex landscape provides a diversity of terroirs … These are favourable for producing red wines, that are regrettably not sufficiently well-known, but highly prized for the complexity of their aromas, their deep, vivid colour, as well as the concentration and elegance of their tannins.\" Sommeliers International.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMerlot is a red wine grape variety with strong historic ties to Bordeaux and the southwest of France. It is the second most-planted red wine grape variety in the world, after Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot is extremely popular in northern Italy, the United States. Chile has built its reputation mainly on its Merlot-based cuvées. Merlot's flavour profile includes plum and black cherry. Often described as producing smooth, rounded and \"easy drinking\" wines. Merlot is often used to great effect in blends, and is known in his capacity to make some of the most famous wines in the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pop Up Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47239712604392,"sku":"PUW-BDX-GFW","price":83.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/BordeauxEleganceEcoGiftBoxEdition_Wrapped.jpg?v=1745501793"},{"product_id":"chateau-au-pont-de-guitres-lalande-de-pomerol-2020-bordeaux-france","title":"Chateau au Pont de Guitres Lalande de Pomerol 2020 - Bordeaux, France","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 Star - Le Guide Hachette des Vins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - Challenge International du Vin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - Challenge International du Vin \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - Concours de Bordeaux Vins d'Aquitaine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - Challenge International du Vin \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e \"This generous, powerful wine is packed with great fruit.

Located on the far north side of the Saint-Emilion appellation, the estate borders Montagne Saint-Emilion on one side, and Pomerol on the other side.

Pierre Lurton comes from two of the great Bordeaux families. His father Dominique was the youngest son of the paterfamilias François Lurton; his uncle André Lurton who founded the eponymous wine company; his many cousins run châteaux from Pauillac to Pomerol. His mother is from the famous Lafite family.\\n\\nThe influential Club Enologique asserts that Pierre is the most accomplished wine personality of his famous family. Trained as a doctor but swapping his studies for wine making after four years. At 23 he took over Clos Fourtet in St Emilion, one of the fine Lurton properties, and in 1991 he was appointed head of Château Cheval Blanc (it was bought by Bernard Arnault of LVMH in 1998); in 1999 he took on Château d’Yquem, which had just been added to the Arnault portfolio.\\n\\nClub Enologique describes Pierre Lurton as having the world’s most corporate wine job. \\\u0026quot;However he divides his time between two of the world’s most exalted wine properties, but comes down to earth in Entre-deux-Mers, the leafy, unpretentious appellation to the east of Bordeaux at Château Marjosse.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Château Marjosse estate is located in Entre-deux-Mers, on the right bank of Bordeaux. Initially owned by the wine merchant Bernard Chénier, Château Marjosse was acquired by the Deleuze family, who, in 1990, gave some plots to Pierre Lurton to rent. In 1992, Pierre Lurton, who grew up in Château Reynier, neighbour to this magnificent Chartreuse, moved to a second home in Château Marjosse and, over successive years became the owner of the entire vineyard, as well as the Chartreuse in 2013.\\n\\nDecanter \\\u0026quot;Since Lurton bought Château Marjosse in 1994, the estate has improved beyond recognition. Pierre's father, Dominique Lurton, also made over a further 30ha so that, under the Château Marjosse label, Lurton now exploits 42ha of vineyard, six hectares of white and 36ha of Bordeaux red – a total of 300,000 bottles a year. Pierre insists his wine is Bordeaux and not Bordeaux Supérieur because ‘my wine is only supérieur in the bottle’. His objectives are ambitious. As the quality of the terroir with clay-limestone soil is similar to some of the better areas in Saint-Emilion, he hopes to prove that wines from this area can rival those from more prestigious regions.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nSommeliers International \\\u0026quot;At Château Marjosse the land possesses yet another specific feature, known locally as “la Boulbène”, a silty-clayey texture that has developed on ancient alluvions. The fertility of these soils no longer needs to be proved, because, by chance, they are also found in Saint-Emilion, a terroir that is extremely familiar to the man who manages “Cheval Blanc” …. Pierre Lurton. Assisted in this transformation by Consultant-Oenologist Pascal Poussevin, whose recommendations range from vine growing to wine-making, Pierre Lurton’s estate has now reached its cruising speed … Beyond the fabulous adventures he experiences in his role as manager of Châteaux d’Yquem, Cheval Blanc, as well as estates in South Africa, Latin America and in Australia … it is undoubtedly with “the salt of this land here in the Entre-deux-Mers” that his years of quest for perfection will be revealed. It is clear that this region needs winegrowers of such calibre, those who possess a sixth sense and, using techniques that almost resemble intentional alchemy, transform the grapes they touch into wines that exude the unique character of a specific area.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Entre-deux-Mers region, nicknamed by wine experts as “Little Tuscany”, is unique and jealously protected by its inhabitants. \\\u0026quot;There are fifteen appellations that constitute the Entre-deux-Mers. The most well-known of them all, reputed for its dry, lively white wines, is certainly the one which bears the name of this region! The Entre-deux-Mers cultivates a certain speciality in producing white wines, due to its basic geological assets, possessing gravelly-limestone soils, upon which Sémillon, Sauvignon, Muscadelle and even Ugni Blanc grape varieties are planted. But the variety of soils and sub-soils associated with such a complex landscape provides a diversity of terroirs … These are favourable for producing red wines, that are regrettably not sufficiently well-known, but highly prized for the complexity of their aromas, their deep, vivid colour, as well as the concentration and elegance of their tannins.\\\u0026quot; Sommeliers International.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nThe Sauvignon Blanc taste is one of the most identifiable in the world of white wines for a few reasons. First, it always has crisp, high acidity. Second, it has a chemical compound called pyrazine which gives grassy, herbal or bell pepper flavors. When grown in cooler climates or picked early, the herbaceous green character is most prominent.

Pierre Lurton comes from two of the great Bordeaux families. His father Dominique was the youngest son of the paterfamilias François Lurton; his uncle André Lurton who founded the eponymous wine company; his many cousins run châteaux from Pauillac to Pomerol. His mother is from the famous Lafite family.\\n\\nThe influential Club Enologique asserts that Pierre is the most accomplished wine personality of his famous family. Trained as a doctor but swapping his studies for wine making after four years. At 23 he took over Clos Fourtet in St Emilion, one of the fine Lurton properties, and in 1991 he was appointed head of Château Cheval Blanc (it was bought by Bernard Arnault of LVMH in 1998); in 1999 he took on Château d’Yquem, which had just been added to the Arnault portfolio.\\n\\nClub Enologique describes Pierre Lurton as having the world’s most corporate wine job. \\\u0026quot;However he divides his time between two of the world’s most exalted wine properties, but comes down to earth in Entre-deux-Mers, the leafy, unpretentious appellation to the east of Bordeaux at Château Marjosse.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Château Marjosse estate is located in Entre-deux-Mers, on the right bank of Bordeaux. Initially owned by the wine merchant Bernard Chénier, Château Marjosse was acquired by the Deleuze family, who, in 1990, gave some plots to Pierre Lurton to rent. In 1992, Pierre Lurton, who grew up in Château Reynier, neighbour to this magnificent Chartreuse, moved to a second home in Château Marjosse and, over successive years became the owner of the entire vineyard, as well as the Chartreuse in 2013.\\n\\nDecanter \\\u0026quot;Since Lurton bought Château Marjosse in 1994, the estate has improved beyond recognition. Pierre's father, Dominique Lurton, also made over a further 30ha so that, under the Château Marjosse label, Lurton now exploits 42ha of vineyard, six hectares of white and 36ha of Bordeaux red – a total of 300,000 bottles a year. Pierre insists his wine is Bordeaux and not Bordeaux Supérieur because ‘my wine is only supérieur in the bottle’. His objectives are ambitious. As the quality of the terroir with clay-limestone soil is similar to some of the better areas in Saint-Emilion, he hopes to prove that wines from this area can rival those from more prestigious regions.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nSommeliers International \\\u0026quot;At Château Marjosse the land possesses yet another specific feature, known locally as “la Boulbène”, a silty-clayey texture that has developed on ancient alluvions. The fertility of these soils no longer needs to be proved, because, by chance, they are also found in Saint-Emilion, a terroir that is extremely familiar to the man who manages “Cheval Blanc” …. Pierre Lurton. Assisted in this transformation by Consultant-Oenologist Pascal Poussevin, whose recommendations range from vine growing to wine-making, Pierre Lurton’s estate has now reached its cruising speed … Beyond the fabulous adventures he experiences in his role as manager of Châteaux d’Yquem, Cheval Blanc, as well as estates in South Africa, Latin America and in Australia … it is undoubtedly with “the salt of this land here in the Entre-deux-Mers” that his years of quest for perfection will be revealed. It is clear that this region needs winegrowers of such calibre, those who possess a sixth sense and, using techniques that almost resemble intentional alchemy, transform the grapes they touch into wines that exude the unique character of a specific area.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Entre-deux-Mers region, nicknamed by wine experts as “Little Tuscany”, is unique and jealously protected by its inhabitants. \\\u0026quot;There are fifteen appellations that constitute the Entre-deux-Mers. The most well-known of them all, reputed for its dry, lively white wines, is certainly the one which bears the name of this region! The Entre-deux-Mers cultivates a certain speciality in producing white wines, due to its basic geological assets, possessing gravelly-limestone soils, upon which Sémillon, Sauvignon, Muscadelle and even Ugni Blanc grape varieties are planted. But the variety of soils and sub-soils associated with such a complex landscape provides a diversity of terroirs … These are favourable for producing red wines, that are regrettably not sufficiently well-known, but highly prized for the complexity of their aromas, their deep, vivid colour, as well as the concentration and elegance of their tannins.\\\u0026quot; Sommeliers International.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nSauvignon Gris is a pink-berried mutation of the Sauvignon Blanc grape. It most likely originated around Bordeaux, but has found itself quite at home in Chile. Sauvignon Gris is thinly scattered across other parts of the wine world, including Uruguay, New Zealand, the United States and Switzerland.\\n\\nIts popularity among growers was historically severely limited by its low yields; in France in 2009 there were (officially) only 463 hectares (1144 acres) of vines. However plantings may be on the increase, in the Loire, in Bordeaux to add body to Sauvignon Blanc, and elsewhere around the world. While the clone is not legally permitted in some Loire appellations – such as Sancerre – it is generally agreed that Sauvignon Gris vines are present in a good number of vineyards in such zones.\\n\\nSauvignon Gris is less aromatic than its Sauvignon Blanc sibling, but certainly capable of producing interesting wines. Wines produced from Sauvignon Gris tend to be richer and more voluptuous in texture than Sauvignon Blanc, with ripe fruit flavors of mango and melon as well as citrus notes. The wines are usually dry and tend to have some of the herbaceous notes so typical of the Sauvignon family. The type of color mutation seen in Sauvignon Gris is a naturally occurring phenomenon and reasonably common. For example, Roter Riesling is a pink-skinned mutation of Riesling, Chardonnay Rosé is a mutation of Chardonnay and Pinot Gris is a light-berried variant of Pinot Noir. Sauvignon Gris is also often blended with Sauvignon Blanc, including examples where the former is a minor (usually uncredited) component of New World varietal Sauvignon Blanc wines.\\n\\nThe Sauvignon Blanc taste is one of the most identifiable in the world of white wines for a few reasons. First, it always has crisp, high acidity. Second, it has a chemical compound called pyrazine which gives grassy, herbal or bell pepper flavors. When grown in cooler climates or picked early, the herbaceous green character is most prominent. In warmer climates or allowed to hang longer on the vine, the pyrazine character diminishes in favor of riper fruit flavors ranging from grapefruit, to passion fruit and guava.\\n\\nSémillon is one of the wine world's unsung heroes. The gold-skinned grape produces France's most famous and revered sweet wines, notably Sauternes, and some of the greatest dry white wines of Australia - particulary those in the Hunter Valley. \u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15235,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16711680},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":9}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":405}{\"1\":406,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":420}{\"1\":624,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":641}{\"1\":1414,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1428}{\"1\":1654,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1688}{\"1\":2924,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2939}{\"1\":3723,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3731}{\"1\":4402,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":4427}{\"1\":6487,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":6512}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 James Sucking \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Jean Marc Quarin \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e16.5\/20 Jancis Robinson \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOwned by one of the world's most famous winemakers, Pierre Lurton - president of two of Bordeaux's best-known chateaux, the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) owned Château Cheval Blanc and Château d’Yquem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling,\u003c\/strong\u003e ''..I like the density and concentration, with a delicious creaminess undercut by herb and spice...Almonds, fennel, yoghurt, grapefruit and pear skins on the nose, with some cloves and white pepper.''\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJancis Robinson\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Cuvée Palombe, a startlingly rich white based on 45- to 70-year-old vines named after a pigeon.

The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol.

The versatile blend is typically made into crisp, dry wines, but it is also the blend of choice for the world's most prestigious sweet wine style, Sauternes. The blend is endowed with vibrant acidity and grassy aromas by Sauvignon Blanc, and its structure and mouthfeel from Semillon.

This wine can therefore be enjoyed now, but it can also improve in the cellar for several years. The name Jurats refers to the former magistrates of Saint-Émilion, which underlines the historical roots of this wine in the region.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Le Jurat is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru estate located near Montagne Saint-Émilion. Covering around 7.5–8 hectares, its vineyards are planted mainly with Merlot, along with Cabernet Franc and a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. The vines average 30–50 years in age, with some over 60 years old, and grow in clay-limestone soils that add structure and minerality to the wine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe estate uses concrete vats for vinification and ages the wine for about 12 months in French oak barrels, with 15–25% new oak. The resulting wines are elegant and balanced, showing black cherry, spice, and smoky notes. They are enjoyable after a few years of aging and pair well with meats and cheeses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOwned by SMABTP (Mutuelle du Bâtiment), Château Le Jurat shares ownership ties with nearby Château Grand Corbin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Le Jurat, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, owned by the SMA Group, was bought in 1986 as an addition to the vineyards of Château Haut Corbin which then bought Château Grand Corbin in 2010. Both domaines were promoted to Grand Cru Classé status and were authorised to be united under the name Château Grand Corbin in 2012. Located on the far north side of the Saint-Emilion appellation, the estate borders Montagne Saint-Emilion on one side, and Pomerol on the other side. The 7.5 hectare vineyard of Château Le Jurat is planted with 85% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc on a terroir of sand and clay. On average, the vineyard is 50 years old with some vines being more than 60 years old. The last vintage of Château Le Jurat was 2016 with vinification taking place in cement vats. Malolactic fermentation was done in the barrel and the wine was aged in 25% new French oak barrels for 12 months before bottling. This 2016 vintage got a 93\/100 from James Suckling : “Very attractive, ripe dark fruit with polished, cedary oak and a very regal impression.

Its original label features organic red wines known for their full-bodied, fruity character with rich red forest fruit notes. A special selection, honouring the estate’s founders Chevalier and Daviaud, is matured in new French oak barrels, giving it a mellow, oaky flavour and accounting for about a fifth of total production. The Saint-Émilion region, where the estate is located, gained prominence in the 18th century during the Enlightenment, with its wines valued for their quality, ageing potential, and suitability for transport—driven by innovations introduced by visionary winegrowers of the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe family estate extends on more than ten hectares over Montagne Saint-Émilion and Puisseguin Saint-Émilion AOC. Facing South\/South-East, the hillside vineyard has benefited from the care of the Richard-Nicoletti family. Respectful of nature, the cultivation practices chosen by Julien Richard (3rd generation) tend towards a single goal : to respect the biodiversity of the soil and the environment in order to harvest healthy grapes and produce quality wine. The vineyard has been certified organic since 2023. After a strict selection and meticulous work in the vineyard, the fruits are picked by hand and sorted twice. Part of the wine is aged in oak barrels for about 12 months. The result is a gourmet wine with an assertive character that elegantly expresses the power of the terroir.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Puisseguin-Saint-Émilion Appellation, established in 1936, sits at the highest elevation (89 m) in the Saint-Émilion region.

Over the years, the estate has been handed down from generation to generation, increasing in size, modernizing wine-making techniques and following sustainable practices. Each plot is vinified separately according to soil, yield, vine age and grape variety. Once picked, the grapes are sorted mechanically and by hand to ensure a rigorous selection and are transferred to temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine then spends 12 months in French oak barrels (two to four years).

The vineyard is cultivated according to la lutte raisonnée, which promotes sustainable agricultural methods and reduces the amount of chemicals, in order to respect the land and its environment.

A special selection, honouring the estate’s founders Chevalier and Daviaud, is matured in new French oak barrels, giving it a mellow, oaky flavour and accounting for about a fifth of total production. The Saint-Émilion region, where the estate is located, gained prominence in the 18th century during the Enlightenment, with its wines valued for their quality, ageing potential, and suitability for transport—driven by innovations introduced by visionary winegrowers of the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe family estate extends on more than ten hectares over Montagne Saint-Émilion and Puisseguin Saint-Émilion AOC. Facing South\/South-East, the hillside vineyard has benefited from the care of the Richard-Nicoletti family. Respectful of nature, the cultivation practices chosen by Julien Richard (3rd generation) tend towards a single goal : to respect the biodiversity of the soil and the environment in order to harvest healthy grapes and produce quality wine. The vineyard has been certified organic since 2023. After a strict selection and meticulous work in the vineyard, the fruits are picked by hand and sorted twice. Part of the wine is aged in oak barrels for about 12 months. The result is a gourmet wine with an assertive character that elegantly expresses the power of the terroir.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Puisseguin-Saint-Émilion Appellation, established in 1936, sits at the highest elevation (89 m) in the Saint-Émilion region.

It tastes delicious with the dark fruit taking centre stage in the mouth but still balanced by some nice earthy streaks. Hints of dried herbs from the nose carry over and you’ll also find some oaky liquorice notes. All of this is wrapped up in a very smooth, almost creamy texture. It ends dry with a mineral tinged finish featuring lingering cola and liquorice notes under more of that delicious dark fruit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e73% Merlot \u0026amp; 27% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003cbr\u003eAlcohol: 13%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Château Saint Julian is locatedi n the Entre deux Mers near the Abbaye Bénédictine de la Sauve Majeure.

Its name translates literally as \"between two seas\", although the seas in question are in fact rivers – the Garonne and Dordogne, which respectively form the area's southern and northern boundaries. Entre-Deux-Mers is home to various appellations, which produce wines in styles ranging from the sweet botrytized whites of Cadillac, Loupiac and Sainte-Croix-du-Mont – all close to the northeast bank of the Garonne – to the dry table wines of Sainte-Foy and Graves de Vayres, closer to the Dordogne. The extended region along the Garonne, from the cluster of sweet white appellations as far as the area to the east of Bordeaux city, is the red wine appellation Côtes de Bordeaux – until 2009 called Premières Côtes de Bordeaux, a title now reserved for sweet whites.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XM Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47428017225960,"sku":"PUW-BDX$50-V6P","price":267.72,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/Bordeaux_New_Selection_Under_45_1.jpg?v=1775620741"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/collections\/Pop_Up_Wine_Tasting_1_edited.jpg?v=1618444420","url":"https:\/\/popupwine.com.sg\/collections\/bordeaux-wine.oembed","provider":"Pop Up Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
