The Chateau L'Arrosee 2000 is a splendid representation of the renowned Saint-Émilion region in Bordeaux, France. This vintage, produced by the esteemed Chateau L'Arrosee, is a true testament to their expertise and passion for winemaking. Upon pouring, the wine reveals a deep, ruby red hue with glimmers of purple. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums intertwine with hints of tobacco and cedar. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a perfect balance of tannins and acidity. Flavors of dark berries, cassis, and subtle spices are present, leading to a long and elegant finish. This wine is a true delight and pairs beautifully with red meats, hearty stews, and rich cheeses. Enjoy now or cellar for further aging.

One of the most expensive Bordeaux wines - and indeed, one of the priciest anywhere - Le Pin is a surprisingly recent arrival on the global stage, with its first vintage having been produced just decades ago in 1979. Originally priced at a modest 700 francs, the praise garnered by the 1982 vintage propelled Le Pin into the global limelight, with sales from that point on par with - or exceeding - those of First Growth Bordeaux wines. An exotic style of Bordeaux, Le Pin possesses a resplendent, lavish mouth-feel with intensely ripe fruit aromas and hints of smoke on the palate.

With the estate itself dating back to 1772, and the logo taking inspiration from an ancient connection to the Knights Templars history in the Pomerol region, Chateau Gazin is steeped in both winemaking and national history. Sharing borders with Petrus and LEvangile, it more than holds its own among its distinguished peers! It has been in the possession of the same family since 1917, with the most recent descendent, Nicolas de Bailliencourt assuming control in 1988. Under de Bailliencourts watchful eye, the Chateau has abolished machine harvesting, making a return to hand-picking, and producing lower overall yields.
