The Bad Boy, an original cuvée, was crafted by the renowned Jean-Luc Thunevin in the 2000s. It is produced from a meticulous selection of right bank wines, sourced from estates that Thunevin either manages or advises. Grapes are harvested and vinified under the watchful eye of Thunevin's experienced winemaking team. The cuvée's name originates from American critic Robert Parker, who often referred to Jean-Luc as Bordeaux's "black sheep" or "Saint Emillion's Bad Boy." Thunevin rose to prominence during the Right Bank garagiste movement of the 90s with the success of his garage-produced Chateau Valandraud. He produces the Bad Boy Cuvée with the same passion and innovation that helped him establish one of the most iconic cult wines from Bordeaux's right bank. Composed of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, the wine has a fragrant bouquet of dark cherries, bergamot, and subtle stony scents. The palate is led by dark red fruits like mulberry and red plum. This medium-bodied wine has slightly coarse tannins and a pleasant touch of spice on the finish.

The Chateau Clos La Gaffelière 2021 is a stunning example of the quality and elegance that Bordeaux has to offer. This wine, produced in the highly acclaimed 2021 vintage, hails from the renowned Château la Gaffelière in France. On the nose, ripe dark berries and black currants dominate, with subtle hints of oak and a touch of floral notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a luscious texture and well-integrated tannins. Flavors of blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate are complemented by a touch of spice and a lingering finish. In the glass, the wine displays a deep, rich ruby color, with a slight purple hue. The tannins are well-structured, promising excellent aging potential. This wine is a perfect representation of the classic Bordeaux style, balancing power and finesse beautifully. Overall, the Chateau Clos La Gaffelière 2021 is a top-quality wine that showcases the best of Bordeaux. It is an exceptional addition to any wine collection and will continue to impress for years to come.

Gigondas always seems to play the little-brother role to Chateauneuf du Pape, but these wines can be very, very good. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre vinified in the purest tradition, this wine is opulent now and will age well for the next 8 or 10 years.

This is one of the gems produced by cult winemaker Elian Da Ros, who learned the art of winemaking at the prestigious Domaine Zind Humbrecht in Alsace before taking over the family vineyard. This luscious red is a blend of half Cabernet Franc, with the rest a split between Merlot and Syrah and matured for 18 months in old oak. Drink young for the sheer enjoyment.
