Why We're Buying
La Mondotte (Saint-Émilion Grand Cru) is a classic Bordeaux red blend. It's 80 merlot and 20 cabernet franc, with each grape coming from 50-year-old vines. The estate, which ages the blend in 100 new French oak barrels for 18 months, only releases 1,000 cases of wine per year.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 85 Merlot and 15 Cabernet Franc, the 2013 is deep purple with a gorgeous nose of black cherry liqueur, mulberries, licorice, graphite and spring flowers. The wine is surprisingly full-bodied, round, with sweet tannin, real succulence, lush texture and a stunning finish. This is a major over-achiever in even great vintages, but in 2013 an effort like this is especially impressive. Drinking Dates: 2014-2029
