Vins Rouges
146 Château Peymouton, St‑Émilion Grand Cru
“A richly concentrated and toasted nose full of dark fruit. Bright and forward, this is full of red berry fruit with supple and flexible tannins giving this energy and bounce. Open and expressive with touches of bitter chocolate and graphite on the finish. Lots to like here. For early, enjoyable drinking.” 90 pts, Georgina Hindle, Decanter 328474 $50
147 Château Phélan Ségur, St‑Estèphe
“Plush and warm in feel, this offers plum and blackberry compote notes flecked with chestnut and bay and underscored by warm stone and leather through the finish. Broad and slow-moving, but with clear definition, plus a nice muscular edge that hints at its buried power. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2027 through 2040.” 95 pts, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 272752 $125
148 Château Pibran, Pauillac (L) “Lovely from start to finish, this offers a caressing core of warmed cassis and plum sauce, while notes of ink, violet and anise filter through. A perfumed cedar and sandalwood frame gently guides the finish, where an echo of warm earth lingers amid the fruit. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2026 through 2036.” 93 pts, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 327880 6 bottle limit $100
