Where can you find a collectible Bordeaux sealed in solid wood cases (picture below), from a heralded vintage, that has Michel Rolland on as a consultant, scored 94 points from Vinous (I’ll get to that in a second), and is only $29.99?
 
This is the only one I have ever found.
 
What’s crazy about the 2016 Chateau Gazin Rocquencourt are the scores. Notoriously hard grader Antonio Galloni from Vinous gave this wine a 94 point score. From the same vintage and the left bank he gave the 2016 Les Carmes Haut-Brion ($220 per bottle and a 99 point Jeb Dunnuck wine) the exact same score. That is just a reference point for the quality level we are talking about here.
 
I also loved his write up:
 
"The 2016 Gazin Rocquencourt is gorgeous, radiant and incredibly inviting, just as it was en primeur. Blackberry jam, chocolate, cloves, spice and new leather are all fused together, but it is the wine’s textural depth and impeccable balance that makes it absolutely irresistible.  This is an especially overt, racy style. What a joyous wine this is.”
 
Like much of the best of Bordeaux, Chateau Gazin Rocquencourt has proven itself over centuries. The elegant mansion was built in 1660 but the estate’s origins go back to the Middle Ages, and it can reasonably be called one of the oldest wine estates in the great commune of Léognan, the beating heart of Graves. Like its name suggests, the region’s crucial vineyards are full of gravel, as with Gazin Rocquencourt’s hilltop site, and the estate benefits even more by sharing the winemaking team of Malartic-Lagravière (my new fave wine).
 
This is only the 3rd time I have ever seen this wine at this price in the US, and current vintages of Gazin Rocquencourt now start in the $60s (here).
 
You always hear Bordeaux collectors talking about “I used to pay $30 for that back in the day”.
 
Well, now we can too 😂 - I actually already took a case home and busted into it 👀 (pic below).



I know what I'm drinking tonight!
