I highly recommend B‑21. Amazing price on shipping and competitive pricing. They answer questions quickly and professionally. I've been using them for several years and there has never been an error in my order and there has never been a problem with the packaging. Thank you B‑21!

B‑21 has always offered the best wines at the best prices of any vendor. I had a lot of problems with FedEx shipping on several occasions, but all of a sudden they've implemented a new schedule and notification system that really seems to work. This delivery was on time and perfect. Looking forward to my next order.

Good selection, fair prices and prompt/economical delivery. Minor but worrisome gripe: 2 bottles in the last shipment either were corked or the corks were loosen in shipment. The bottles were both fully intact, as were the foil caps, but both had leaked into the box. One lost about 75% of the wine, and the other only about 10%. They were 2 of 6 vermentino wines from as very reputable Tuscan producer that I know well, having been there twice.

The service has always been perfect. Our wine arrives quickly and the UPS man calls me to come down and sign for it. I can only get this wine from one supplier in Florida and they always do a perfect job of making available to me.

Sadly, UPS damaged my shipment of the last bottles of Banyuls wine in B‑21 inventory. The message I received was that the unbroken bottles of my order was being returned to sender (B‑21). I was beyond bummed! B‑21's customer service was extraordinary. In order to arrange for a replacement shipment to be sent, they had to replenish their stock. Within a few hours, I got a message saying the wine was ordered, and confirmed that I'd receive an email when the order was shipped. I couldn't ask for better service. I highly recommend B‑21 for their selection and service. Thanks so much for going above and beyond.

I love this wine! It was delivered promptly and very nicely packed. The only thing is the carrier left it at the main building and not to the address I specified. I guess next time I will add a phone number for the carrier to call me. Love this Sangria!!

The folks at B‑21 turn orders quickly and the$24/case shipping cost is reasonable. My shipment arrived with one broken bottle that apparently was empty when it was packed, as there was no evidence of wine in any dividers, the bottles in the case, or the case itself. The cork was still in the bottle. It was disappointing to lose a bottle of my wife's favorite wine, and they refunded the price of the bottle without delay. It was unfortunate that this happened, but hard to understand how an empty bottle could have been put in the case. I am satisfied with their response and hope to continue doing business with them.

2016 Domaine Durieu Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Lucile Avril (1.5L)

Grenache from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône, France

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

The Avril family is more than just an important part of Chateauneuf du Pape; the family patriarch – Paul Avril – was a member of the group who established the appellation. Born in 1873, Paul Avril began estate bottling and marketing Clos des Papes in 1896. By the turn of the century, in 1901, Régis Avril joined the family business, delivering Clos des Papes to two French presidents: General de Gaulle and Georges Pompidou. The first Paul lived to be 89 years old and would be the influence for a new Paul Avril, who joined the estate in 1963, the man most of us know as the face and spirit of Clos des Papes; the man who elevated the estate to its current position, passing away in 2009. Taking over for his father, the current Paul Avril – Paul-Vincent Avril (who goes by the name Vincent) – worked with his father from 1988, studying in Burgundy for a spell and bringing even more finesse to a set of wines already at the top of their game. The estate's first vintage was their 1976, but it would be the 1999 "Cuvee Lucile Avril" – named in honor of the matriarch – which would elevate Domaine Durieu to the elite status. Based on the estate's finest, oldest Grenache, it has gained a world-wide, cult-like following. Parker, Jeb, just about anyone who loves the most important wines of Chateauneuf has written extensively on it. I have the 2007 and 2010 in my limited collection – impossible to resist.

96JD

The 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Lucile Avril is mostly old vine Grenache mixed with roughly 10% Syrah and Mourvèdre. It's another deeply colored effort from this estate that has classic notes of bouquet garni, sweet red and black fruits, new saddle leather, and assorted spicy nuances. It's deep, concentrated, balanced, and has a great finish, and is a no-brainer purchase that’s going to keep for 15+ years.
