Rated 88 - A selection of Valandraud’s Jean-Luc Thunevin, this big, sexy, plump Cotes de Bourg is undeniably a sleeper of the vintage. Aromas and flavors of melted fudge, black cherries, forest floor, and earth emerge from this medium-bodied, supple-textured wine. It will offer delightful drinking over the next 2-3 years. - Robert Parker
