Consider selling your wife to an Arab billionaire for the night as a cheap price to pay for a case.
La Fauconnerie Cuvee Prestige, Montagne St. Emilion - 2003
Yes, it's very good indeed. Although given the
per bottle price you don't seem to put much value on your wife.
La Fauconnerie Cuvee Prestige, Montagne St. Emilion - 2003 €33.50
France, Red, Merlot-Cabernet, Medium Bodied, Drink or Keep.
Grower - Jean Claude Paret
Harvesting at full maturity and using only the most select of his oldest vines, Jean Claude has produced the most outstanding Montagne, St Emilion I have ever tasted, only 3600 bottles per year. Both the wine and the wine-maker are the envy of a lot of St Emilion Grand Cru Classes. Jean-Claude is totally passionate about his “baby” as he affectionately refers to his wine. Aged in 100% new oak, La Fauconnerie cuvee prestige is loaded with rich ripe red and black fruits, incredibly well balanced and has a fabulous finish. A must for every wine cellar, or indeed, every budding wine buff.
