 | Chateau D'Agassac Picture of: Type: Size: Country: Region:
Design/Artwork: Winery Notes/History: It is quite simply one of the most fairytale properties in the Médoc area ; a strange kind of bird is perhaps how some would put it, with its artificial lake, teaming with a few rare species of fowl… trees in a picture-book setting - bald cypress, Lombardy poplars shaped into conical forms and weeping willow. Agassac is naturally full of plant life in a flat part of a meadow and in the vineyard, and the noble character of its castle is a reminder of the work carried out in the vines |

 | La Dame de Montrose Picture of: Type: Size: Country: Region:
Design/Artwork: Winery Notes/History: Chateau Montrose, which is one of the younger members of the classed growths of the Médoc. At the end of the 18th Century the land which today is the Montrose vineyard was nothing more than heather-encrusted moor-land, owned by the Ségur family. In 1778 it was acquired, as part of the Calon estate, by Etienne Théodore Dumoulin, who seems to have done little with it other than bequeath it to his children upon his death in 1806. Of his three children it was one of his sons, also Etienne Théodore, who took control. His attention was drawn to part of the estate, a plot of land to the south of the Calon vineyard and adjacent to the Gironde, entitled La Lande de l'Escargeon, the situation of which was such that it clearly had potential as a vineyard. Having cleared the heather and scrub the soil beneath was gravelly, and indeed was eminently suitable for the vine, and planting was underway by 1815, with good results. By 1820 Dumoulin had expanded the vineyard and erected a small chateau. |

 | Delas Freres CDP Picture of: Type: Size: Country: Region:
Design/Artwork: Winery Notes/History: The Delas family established their winery in 1836, and held control of it until 1978 when it was purchased by Roederer, the maker of Cristal. Delas Freres is operated very much like a Burgundian vineyard, where there are a dozen or more small single vineyards on one plot. The winery stands on exalted grounds that are naturally primed for near perfect grape productions. Very few cases of each are made per single vintage/per vintage year |

 | Chateau D'Escurac Picture of: Type: Size: Country: Region:
Design/Artwork: Winery Notes/History: Ch. D'Escurac is an affordable Bourgeois Cru Superior, that produces pure, classic style wines. The winery is named after the chapel that was built on the estate in the 10th century. |

 | Reserve De Deux Freres CDP Picture of: Type: Size: Country: Region:
Design/Artwork: Winery Notes/History: Chateauneuf du Pape is a potential legend in the making. It requires 3-5 years of cellaring, and should keep for two decades. The texture, purity, and magnificent concentration suggest tiny yields, old vines, and non-interventionalistic winemaking. By the way, this wine represents a selection of the finest lots in the cellar as the sources are the same as for the Cuvee de Mon Aieul, although a large component of Deux Freres is from the Usseglio holdings in the sector of Chateauneuf du Pape called La Crau. Anticipated maturity |

 | Dominus Picture of: Type: Size: Country: Region:
Design/Artwork: Winery Notes/History: Dominus has been called the "Petrus of Napa Valley" because both Dominus and Petrus are affiliated with Jean-Pierre Moueix. The Dominus crate is engraved on both sides, with two different logos. The sides are thick and designed for exceptional durability. The average wood grain is a two-toned medium to rich color. |

 | Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou Picture of: Type: Size: Country: Region:
Design/Artwork: Winery Notes/History: Ducru Beaucaillou is the legendary Borie family flagship wine. The winery design logo is a picture of the sprawling Victorian style castle. The winery is named after the large circular stones that are unique to the property (French Translation: Beautiful Stones). The estate in respect to winemaking dates back to the 17th century, and the stones of the property were actually considered bad for winemaking in the 18th century, and major vinification efforts were not attempted. It was not until several generations later that the Borie estate realized that the stones were an asset to create a unique wine. |
