From the Hubert Family that also produce beautiful biodynamic wines at Peybonhomme, comes this classic Bordeaux-style stunner in the Côtes des Bourg. 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Malbec from 55-year old biodynamically-farmed vines. Spontaneous fermentation, with low added sulfites, it spends one year in new French oak barrels. Complex flavors of black raspberry, fig, and dark plum, before leading to notes of toasty mocha and hints of mint chocolate. Earthy tones that are often covered up in more extracted Bordeaux wines, are able to contribute to the mix here. A bottle that punches above its pay grade, it's lovely now as a glowing expression of youth, but will certainly increase in character with additional time.
Weather/Vintage
Vintage:On rare occasions, a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. With bottles of wine listed under $15, we will not hold up an order and will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same type, varietal and winery.
Weather:
During extreme weather during the Summer and Winter months we do recommend delaying shipments. We do not like to ship if the weather is above 85 degrees or below 32 degrees. To ensure the safety of your product we do recommend holding the shipment. We will hold in our temperature controlled facility until weather permits.
During Checkout you may Choose the Hold Until Safe and we will ship it once weather conditions are suitable
In this case, we will watch the weather closely and will remove the hold and ship your order as soon as conditions permit. The release dates will vary, and because there is no specified date for delivery, the warehouses will ship it as weather permits. If the Hold Until Safe option is released and your order is shipped, you will receive a shipping notice with the tracking number link.
