over the years. Ultimately, it is up to you what combination of youthful and aged characteristics you enjoy most in a wine. The rare whites from Bordeaux will also benefit from aging to become even more exotic and complex. Dry whites like Châteaux Reynon and Ferran will have their exuberant citrus flavours turn more to lime flower and hay, while oak-aged examples, like Smith-Haut-Lafitte, will develop buttered toast, dried peach and orange zest notes. Sauternes and Barsacs will become more balanced as the sweetness integrates and the wines take on intense notes of honey, marmalade and passionfruit. With five to ten years in the cellar, a wine like Château Doisy Daëne is an ideal match for savoury meats and cheeses. We are excited to offer a diverse selection of red, white and sweet Bordeaux for pre-order September 7–9 and an even greater selection on September 23 rd in store only. We recommend checking out online and in person for the widest offering. Please do not hesitate to ask any of the Product Consultants for recommendations whether you are looking for something to drink with dinner in the coming days or to lay down and mature for the next decade.
