2015 Chateau Pied D'Argent Cotes de Bordeaux 750 ml

2015’s Rising Tide

If you’re one of the avid collectors who have filled our inboxes with bargain requests, asking us to seek out perfectly stored, highly rated, affordable Bordeaux: We heard you. After many months of hunting, tasting, researching, accepting, and ultimately purchasing, we’ve got a winner on our hands from the soon-to-be-legendary 94- to 97-point 2015 vintage.

While we’re bracing for the sticker shock of the First Growths and Super Seconds in the next few months, we’re stocking up on the value wines of the 2015 vintage in the meantime. We always feel the rising tide of a superb vintage will raise all boats on a quality level — especially for value-driven wines. And from a bargain-hunting perspective, there isn’t a wine from 2015 more jaw-dropping than the radiant 2015 Château Pied d’Argent.

We originally tasted at the château on the banks of the Garonne, and we gushed over the velvety 2015 Château Pied d’Argent Côtes de Bordeaux. The 2015 vintage blend consists of 55% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the remainder Cab Franc and Malbec. Brilliant dark-purple, this generous Right Bank beauty shows the power and freshness of the 2015 vintage. Full-bodied, fleshy fruit and supple tannins round out a soft mid-palate, while a succulent core of black cherry, licorice, and cassis gives way to a lengthy finish tinged with whispers of smoke and tobacco spice.

We don’t get this excited very often. We’re offering a taste of potentially one of the greatest vintages of our lifetimes at just $16.99/bottle. Shipping included on 6.
