Cotes de Castillon is one of my favorite sources of value in Bordeaux and this one is particularly nice, although it looks like this chateau exists only as a bed and breakfast after the 2008 vintage. The grapes from the 40 acre vineyard (70% merlot/30% cab franc) are now used for the Esprit de Pavie bottling from the owners of Chateau Pavie who also own this estate. — 7 years ago

Amazing wine. 2001 was the last year this wine was made. The vineyards were then purchased by neighbor Pavie. Less then 350 cases produced. And the 2000 vintage scored a perfect score of 100 — 10 years ago

I wish I could see JR vs RP tasting this wine blind and totally disagree like they did with chateau Pavie. Mix reviews but I feel that under $25 is still a descendent wine. — 7 years ago

This pushes the envelope. Gerard Perse style. Wow it is massive and endowed. I thought it would be perfect to try today but this is way too young. It is pavie at $40.... Awesome stuff and perfect with steak florentine. Camphor, pen ink and kirsch on the nose with loads of dark blackberry and mocha. Creme de menthe and creme de cassis emerge after a half hour — 9 years ago

I'll admit, I'm always happy to have a Nicolas Thienpont wine in my glass. The Thienpont family are associated with other great Bordeaux properties including Puygueraud, Pavie Macquin and one of my personal favorites, Vieux Château Certan. The 2014 Les Charmes Godard is slightly austere, with pronounced herbaceousness. Smoky minerality swirls around boxwood, cherimoya and gooseberry notes. It's lean and racy on the palate, lightly hemmed in by oak. Here lime zest, white grapefruit, and white pepper take the center stage. — 7 years ago

Wow. Dense. Jancis's comment about the 2000 (or was it 03) Pavie " "Port"? comes to mind. Maybe, maybe this wine will eventually, someday, somehow, after many, many, long, arduous years begin to possibly open up. Or maybe not! 😜 — 9 years ago

Pitch black in color (think young Ch. Pavie) and certainly past it's adolescence this actually shows very nice and proves that (certain) Chilean wines can age with grace.
In a blind tasting I would have guessed an older vintage of Jonata "Todos". — 9 years ago
