Chateau Labat 2006 RED France

Don't overlook the so-called petit vins of Bordeaux - they frequently compete with wines selling for two or three times the price Robert Parker Once again Francois Nony's superb Chateau Labat gets our vote for best buy of the vintage - it's just so rare to find such a beautifully structured long-lived claret at such a good price! His family has made juicy Merlot-rich wines at this estate since 1900 just a stone's throw from the legendary estates of Saint-Julien from vines planted long ago on the same top quality gravel soils. Elegant black fruit with hints of chocolate and coffee velvety tannins and good ageing potential. Secure yourself a case ... and look forward to nearly a decade of classically styled claret.
