2009 Domaine Coillot Marsannay Rouge “La Charme aux Pretres”

Christophe Coillot is based in the heart of Marsannay and the domain itself is comprised of 12 hectares and extends over 5 villages in the Cote de Nuits. He practices very responsible agriculture and the estate is now 90 % organic. In 2011 we decided that our key red Burgundy would be sourced from Marsannay. We thought it expressive, beautifully balanced and forward enough to be enjoyed over the next couple of years. And hailing from Cote de Nuits it has just a whisker more richness than the equivalent wines from Beaune region. In fact it had been some years since we’d been able to snap up a parcel of any of Coillot wines, so we were doubly excited with getting hold of some of the much-praised 2009. All the grapes at Coillot are hand harvested and aged in oak barrels.

Chateau Brown 2008

The 2008 was rated 91 pts. in the Wine Spectator. Standing at the gateway to Bordeaux, Château Brown stretches between three towns: Gradignan, Villenave-d’Ornon and Léognan. The proximity of these towns gives the estate a mild climate ideal for the ripening of fruit and thus conducive to making high-quality wines. Set in the oldest Bordeaux wine region (the northern Graves) Château Brown is to be found right at the heart of the world-famous Pessac-Léognan appellation. Château Brown, as its name suggests, bears testimony to the close links that have always existed between the Bordeaux region and the Anglo-Saxons. Founded in the late Middle Ages when Aquitaine belonged to England, Château Brown owes its name to the wealthy Scottish wine trader John Lewis Brown, who settled in Bordeaux in the late 18th century. An enthusiast of wines and art, this epicurean passed on not only his name but also his passions to his grandson, the animal painter John Lewis Brown. The owners came and went at Château Brown over the centuries and the estate alternated between glory and neglect. It was not until the late 20th century that the estate was fully restored to its former eminent position under the impulse of Bernard Barthe, the master of the château for the last decade. In December 2004, he decided to place his life’s work in the hands of a famous dynasty of wine traders: the Mau family, in partnership with the Dutch Dirkzwager family.

Blend of the 2008 vintage: 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot Ageing: 40% in new barrels during 14 month/s Soil: gravel with clay subsoil
