We’ve got a doozie for you today.
A new project planted only in 2004, Pontey Lamartine has a prestigious set of neighbors, particularly Château de Léognan and the truly legendary Domaine de Chevalier (one of my all time faves). It might be new, but this portion of Bordeaux has been producing wine since at least the 14th century; owner Dominique Haverlan built upon the successes of the Gaubert family, who’ve been selling wine since 1796. Haverlan, with a long winegrowing history in Bordeaux, bought the Vieux Château Gaubert in 1988, restoring the house and the vineyard. Today Romain Haverlan handles the winemaking. 50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon (although they also claim 8% Petite Verdot 🤷), with one year in French Oak, one-quarter of that new.
We tasted this wine for the first time earlier this year and absolutely loved it, and we decided to mention it in this newsletter after I watched two customers buy straight cases of it over the weekend after just tasting it on the machine. It also doesn’t hurt that we have the lowest price in the US on this wine by $15 per bottle 😁. I also am not sure I can say anything that has not already been said about the 2018 vintage in Bordeaux.
Flying overseas to find wines like this has really transformed some of our offerings as of late. We’ve opined many times recently that the quality level of our $25-$75 collectible offerings has never been higher, and the value we currently have in store between $25 and $60 I would put up against anyone in the US right now. We used to be at the mercy of our distributors and importers, all of which offer a relatively limited selection of wines compared to what is available globally. Being able to find something like Pontey Lamartine Pessac, and be able to offer it for $24.99 per bottle, just gets me really excited.
I do hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family. If you’ve been saving a nice bottle for something special…open it this Thanksgiving! Our time here is limited, so make these special holidays count.
We’re humbled to be able to serve you, and sincerely appreciate the opportunity.
Happy Thanksgiving!
