"The 2008 Vieux Château Mazerat is a rock star effort that plays with the big boys in the vintage. Full-bodied, deep, rounded, and opulent, it offers tons of meaty dark fruit, currants, and smoked herb aromas and flavors. It’s mature yet youthful and should easily continue drinking brilliantly for another 10-15 years. Bravo to the talented Jonathan Maltus, who has a knack for producing rich, opulent wines that deliver incredible amounts of pleasure in their youth yet also age gracefully."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
