BORDEAUX FUTURES 2009

We have made a commitment to the wines of Clarence Dillon, which includes La Mission and Haut Brion, but also le Clarence de Haut Brion, la Chapelle de La Mission and la Clarte which is a white blend from Haut Brion Blanc and La Mission Blanc. The 2nd labels are terrific wines and for most of us reasonable, when compared to the Grand Cru. Parker called the La Mission an "immortal effort" and the Haut Brion "extraordinary". He rated both 98-100 points.
The la Clarte (white) is seldom seen, so I don't recall him rating it, the 2009 is around $89. It has become a big celebration wine, as it is somewhat expensive.
The 2 red second labels are wines I have collected and generally buy the la Chapelle a little heavier, the Clarence (formerly Bahans) was magical. The nice thing about futures is the ability to order Magnums and Double Magnums. Grand formats are very collectable and drinkable. We have the best posted prices, there is an upcharge for the Grand Formats. The 2nd label wines also drink well sooner than the Grand Vins. I am available to discuss your needs, and we have a good depth in all the wines. Go to www.mndfinewine.com for more depth.
