Bordeaux Futures

     No doubt 2005 ranks among the finest vintages of our lifetime. These wines profoundly represent their provenance. In other words the wines define their origins but do so in dramatic fashion. The ability of these wines to maintain focus, purity and balance while being super concentrated and amazingly rich flouts convention. This element of intriguing symmetrical tension defines the vintage for me.

     To buy Bordeaux futures may be new to you. So let me explain how it works and works for you. Purchasing prior to delivery allows you to buy at a significant discount now, relative to the price at the time of delivery, which the market place will dictate. We anticipate deliveries of 2005’s to begin in 2008 so there is plenty of time to make room in your cellar or get a cellar ordered while your wine is developing in the barrel at the Chateau.
