| Bordelet Poire Authentique |
A former sommelier at a 3 star restaurant places
his passion for wine into his production of first class Normandy cider. Old trees, low yields and
terroir mean as much to cider as they do to wine. Champagne like and dry, the pear aromas are
subtly balanced by citrus and white flowers that linger long into the finish.

| Bordelet Poire Granit |
Poiré Granit actually has 75-80 grams of sugar per liter, yet it
doesn't taste particularly sweet. This is due to the tannin and acidity, which
Bordelet says is twice as high as the apple!

| Bordelet Sydre Argelette |
The Argelette,
Eric notes, "is more winey. Some vintages have to stay in the cellar
longer. Argelette is the type of soil and it's the same 40-40-20 blend of the
other apple ciders." This tends to have more skin contact, he explains.

| Bordelet Sydre Doux |
The Sydre
"Doux" is an off-dry apple cider, with about 80 grams per
liter of sugar, yet it is beautifully balanced. A Brut apple has but about 5-10
grams per liter, so it's drier than many Brut Champagnes!

| Brunier Telegramme CDP 2004 |
| It pours clear garnet, very light in color for a Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It seems light on the nose and palate, too, opening with a vinous scent of raspberries, spice, faint vegetal notes and a high-toned whiff of volatile acidity. It's a little more inviting in its flavor, juicy and very tart, simple red fruit and white pepper over almost sour acidity, on the thin side. |

| Charbonniere CDP Perdrix 03 |
| The 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Mourre des Perdrix reveals a saturated dark ruby/purple-tinged color as well as a classic perfume of black cherries, raspberries, flowers, and a notion of barnyard/earth. With a fleshy texture, medium to full body, loads of depth, low acidity, ripe tannin, and wonderful sweetness, purity, and overall elegance, it resembles a synthesis in style between a grand cru Cotes de Nuits and a Chateauneuf du Pape. |

| Charbonniere CDP VV 2003 |
The best balanced wine of the entire portfolio
of 2003s is the 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes. A complex nose
of mineral, kirsch liqueur, raspberries, balsam, and pepper jumps from the
glass of this medium to full-bodied, nicely layered, structured, rich wine with
notes of black cherry and raspberry. Deep but with lovely ripe tannin, this
wine can be drunk now or cellared for 10-12 years.

| Girardin Beaune Greves 1er Cru 2005 |
| 100%
Pinot Noir. ‘Ripe aromas of black cherry, minerals and chocolate.
Sweet, fat and fruity, with firm acidity and mineral character giving
energy to the middle palate. Finishes with substantial ripe tannins.
This should offer early appeal. Stephen Tanzer 88-91 points, Mar/Apr 2007 (Burgundy, France) |

Pinot Noir. Smoky, rustic, raisined nose; earthy, too. On the palate,
smoke and nuts; ripe, raisined fruit, very silky coffee/mocha, with a
bit of jammy toast. Nice for the appellation with no tannins but nice
baby succulent, sweet Pinot fruit on the finish. (Burgundy, France) |

| Girardin Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru 2005 |
| 100%
Pinot Noir. ‘Moderately saturated red-ruby. Knockout nose of red
cherry, faded rose, minerals, brown spices and red licorice. Perfumed
and sharply delineated, with superb inner-mouth lift and delicacy. The
potential alcohol here was 14.2% but there’s no sense of excess weight.
This really stains the palate on the back, with the tannins arriving
late. Made entirely from tiny berries, notes Girardin. Offers great
potential and is likely to evolve in bottle for a long time.’ Stephen
Tanzer 92-95 points, Mar/Apr 2007 (Burgundy, France). |

extracted flavors. Sweet but bittersweet, too. Baby tannins and acids
all in balance. A silky finish of tobacco and black licorice. (Burgundy, France) |

| Girardin Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2005 |
| 100%
Pinot Noir. Cool, reserved aromas of red cherry, flowers, brown spices
and minerals; this is rather Chambertin-like. Dense, suave and deep,
with ripe acids and enticing floral character. But this still needs
more elevage and definition. Finishes quite broad, with a fine dusting
of tannins and noteworthy aromatic persistence. Very promising wine,
best today on the nose and aftertaste.’ Stephen Tanzer 91-94 points, Mar/Apr 2007 |

| Girardin Corton Bressandes Grand Cru 2005 |
| 100%
Pinot Noir. ‘Moderately saturated ruby-red. Very ripe aromas of black
plum, mocha, chocolate, spices, game and earth, with a whiff of
menthol. Plump and sweet but a bit unrefined and austere; this needs
further elevage to gain in definition. Most promising today on the
sweet, juicy, oak-spicy finish, where the solid tannins arrive late.’

| Girardin Corton Renardes 2005 |
| 100%
Pinot Noir. ‘Highly aromatic nose combines redcurrant, tobacco, dried
flowers, spices and iron. Offers more mid-palate precision and verve
than the Bressandes, with redder fruits and attractive floral lift. A
bit less stiff today. Finishes with dusty, ripe tannins. Despite the
rather soft extraction he did, Girardin says that all of these wines
still need further “refining” in barrel. He finds them quite reserved
today but still believes that 2005 will be a vin de plaisir.’ Stephen
