About this wine
And…so long, “Le Plateau”! But what if I told you, I have even MORE Durfort-Vivens? Like this 95 POINT “Le Hameau”...at the same GREAT PRICE!!! Let’s goooooooooo! Ok — that went way, WAY too quick…so before you miss out twice, I’m going to make this short and sweet — like my tiny 93-year-old great auntie after I told her nobody comes close to making desserts as she does. (Totally true, by the way.) By now, you know all about Durfort-Vivens — the Thomas Jefferson backing, the stone’s throw from Château Margaux location, the EPIC critical praise that has followed the famed Lurton family’s revival of this centuries-old estate…all of that. It’s epic stuff, but there’s no time to waste, so I’m talking about this bottling, “Le Hameau”...ONLY! 95 POINTS! ONLY $40! Those are the kind of numbers I LOVE to see — especially when I can throw out critical praise like this! “Le Hameau is superb…The 2022 is so alive and dynamic…There's tremendous density and richness here.” I mean…right?! RIGHT?! That’s from the normally reticent Antonio Galloni of Vinous, no less – and I’m here to say…as good as “Le Plateau" is and always will be — I wouldn’t want to miss out on this baby either! All fruit from Cantenac, just a few hundred yards south of Château Margaux, showcasing a lifted, intensely harmonious beauty of richness, and dark-fruited density, with the sort of opulent mouthfeel that makes you perpetually crave just…one…more…sip!!! And then, *POOF* the bottle has vanished, and you’re shaking the bottle upside down for one final drop, one final taste of heaven. THAT, my friends, is what’s at stake here. So…what are you waiting for???? 95 POINTS, over 50% off, and just FORTY DOLLARS?!?! Did I mention we’re the ONLY folks in the country to have it?!?! Go get some!
