Feature: 2004 Bolaire
A stunning sleeper of the vintage,this blend of 39% Petit Verdot, 34% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon possesses an inky/blue/purple color in addition to sweet aromas of blueberries, cherries, and licorice, medium to full-bodied flavors, an excellent texture, and sweet tannin. It is an intriguing effort that should age nicely for a decade.

Chateaudirect.com........in a strategical partnership with Grand Cru Imports LLC are the direct importers of the wines listed on this site. The wines are in two catagories:
1. Classified Growths that are widely known and have extensive critics reviews and are from exceptional properties in Bordeaux, France. We offer a limited 1st Classified Growths and Super Seconds, which we purchased on their "En Primeurs" release. Most of these wines are now being offered by others at nauseating prices in a manipulated market and they practically need a bank loan to purchase.
We prefer to focus on wines that are outstanding values, QPR, affordable gems that can be consumed and/or cellared on a resonable budget.
2. Wines that are exclusivley imported into the USA and bring our customers a superb to unchallenged value for their money. The wines are the best QPR's that one can find and must also meet the following strict selection criteria:
-Wines must be produced with winemaking techniques that rival those of the Classified Growths
-Wines must be produced by a skilled, passionate winemaker who has built his reputation in Classified Growth winemaking
-Wines must come from vineyards that are in close proximity to well known chateaux and therefore similar terroir
-Wines must come from small vineyards that generally produce less than 1,500 cases
-Wines must come from from producers that are comparable to the finest wines of the appellation
