A Sensational Sale On "The Real Deal"

Today we have a sensational offering on a wine Robert Parker called "The Real Deal." That's probably all we really need to say, so over to the big guy.

Chateau Puech Haut Prestige Rouge 2011

"A sensational offering from proprietor Gerard Bru, the 2011 Prestige is the estate's least expensive wine. Readers may remember the fabulous review the 2010 Prestige received, and the 2011 is just as special.

With Bru's top Reserve wine selling for nearly $100 a bottle, the Prestige cuvee is an outstanding value. Interestingly, Bru has had three of the greatest winemaking consultants on Planet Earth working for him, first Michel Rolland, followed by Claude Gros and now Philippe Cambie.

A blend of 60-75-year-old vine Grenache (55%) and 40-year old Syrah (45%), all grown on limestone soils dominated by the famous large rocks (galets roules) also found in parts of Chateauneuf du Pape. The wine is aged in concrete tanks prior to being bottled unfiltered. Some of the vineyards are farmed organically and others biodynamically.

The wine exhibits a tremendous perfume of sweet raspberries, spring flowers, forest floor, truffles and lavender as well as a beautiful texture, a full-bodied mouthfeel, stunning velvety tannins and purity, and a long finish. This is the "real deal." Drink it over the next 4-6 years."

We just happen to know both the winemaker (Gerard Bru) and one of the greatest winemaking consultants on Planet Earth, Philippe Cambie, who was instrumental in creating this wine. In fact, here's a picture of us with them.

A few nights ago we tasted Puech Haut Prestige Rouge with several different foods to see how the wine would pair with them. Take it from us, drink this wine with a juicy rib eye steak and it's sheer genius. It's also pretty fantastic with Cambozola cheese.

Regularly $19.99/bottle.

Now on a rather epic one week sale for just $14.99/bottle or $144/12 pack case.

Offer valid through Thursday, November 21.
