It’s true, there are actually quality Bordeaux wines for sale in the US for under $15!!! At the recent 2009 Concours des Grands Vins de France de Mâcon, (sorry, no website available in English) Baron de Montfort’s 2006 Chateau de Lagrange Monbadon earned a silver medal. We’re extremely excited about this award along with the entire team at Baron de Montfort, as we only began importing this wine several months ago, but it has been well received in that short time.

While the 2006 vintage earned the award, the 2003 vintage is currently for sale in in select markets (the 2006 will be available soon), including Pennsylvania and Wyoming, so please ask your favorite retailer about ordering if they don’t carry this wine! The PLCB also offers two other selections from the Baron de Montfort estates, the 2005 Chateau de Monbadon as well as the 2005 Chateau du Rocher St. Emilion Grand Cru. If you live in Utah the UDABC does carry the 2005 Chateau Monbadon, a sister Chateau, which is an equally delicious wine for under $20, and hopefully they will soon carry the entire line of Baron de Montfort wines. 

As the economy continues to struggle, I hope everyone finds some comfort in knowing that wines such as these are available in your area. I think now more than ever we need to research our wine selections a bit more as there are hidden values from every region in the world. Explore these options, expand your palate, and above all, enjoy some new wines with friends and family!!!

Question for all- what is your most recent “Value Find”? Where is it from and how much does it cost in your area?

Cheers,

Michael
