Deals like this don’t come around often, while the price of almost everything has gone up, today I am proud to offer a wine at 15% less than what we offered it for, over four years ago. This is a world-class wine, from an epic vigneron, sought out by some of the smartest minds in wine.
Years ago, while tasting a wide range of wines in Pauillac, we were chatting with our neighbours, who happened to be legendary U.S. importers. Martine Saunier and her team import the greatest wines from France, that include but are not limited to Château Gilette, Château Rayas, Domaine Leroy and Niepoort. They pointed us toward a bottle I had never heard of before: Château Cru Godard from the Francs de Bordeaux. When people with a track record like that take an interest in a tiny estate from the outer reaches of Bordeaux, you pay very close attention.

The 2022, much like the 2020 we first tasted years ago, is what I can only describe as a vinous treasure of jaw-dropping value. What I love most about this wine is its soul. There is a mountain of consultant-made Bordeaux that frankly all tastes the same and lacks true character. Not here. The care and attention to detail are worthy of a classified growth, and it shows.
For Bordeaux of such pedigree and quality, these prices are a fabulous bargain.

TASTING NOTE /
A well of rich fruit that encompasses aromas of mulberry fruit, redcurrant, bing cherry, plum skin all wrapped in a velvety cloak of tobacco, coffee and spice, accompanied by a beautiful floral note and balancing on a sea of minerality & graphite that you can not only smell, but taste. The flavours definitely follow to the palate, but it’s buttressed by a refreshing, medium-weight core of acidity and tannin that reign in all the above aromas perfectly.

Carine and Franck Godard inherited the 23-hectare property from her father in 1998. Only a few years later, they decided to begin bottling under the estate name instead of selling to the local cooperative. They converted their vineyards to organic in 2007 (certified in 2010), and since 2016, have adopted biodynamic principles. Biodiversity is essential to the family, and their wines are an authentic expression of the land.
