100 Point Wines and the 2010 Bordeaux Vintage

The 2010 Bordeaux are starting to arrive in the USA, the vintage has been hailed a great success by critics and winemakers. Robert Parker gave out 100 point scores to 4 wines, Cheval Blanc, Haut Brion, Pape Clement and Pontet Canet. The last two are virtually unobtainable because they will retail at under $500 a bottle. The Haut Brion will probably sell for just over $1500 and the Cheval Blanc at nearly $2000 a bottle. Here at Bird Rock Fine Wine we have a few 100 point wines, including the Veritas 2007 Le Desir, La Muse and La Joie for $380, as well as Michel Chapoutier’s Ermitage Blanc Vin de Paille 375 ml for $139.
