The oldest wine that I’ve ever tasted, this 73 year-old La Tour du Pin Figeac from 1950, only the third vintage of this wine since Antoine Moueix purchased the estate from the Corbieres family in 1947. The property would later be sold to Cheval Blanc in 2008, with more than a hectare of the vineyards added to Cheval Blanc and the rest used to produce what is now La Tour du Pin. It’s possible, then, that vineyards used to make Cheval Blanc today were used in 1950 for La Tour du Pin Figeac…I digress. But this was an outstanding, emotional wine, almost impossible to believe that a half bottle of venerable Bordeaux could possess such lively and youthful character - I would have guessed a more recent, powerful vintage such as 1982 or ‘89. It’s clear that it has been stored impeccably. The nose is effusive, dark and brooding with balsamic character, dried red and black fruits, bitter chocolate and espresso, while the palate has great structure and harmony, carrying the fruit through to a long, almost austere finish. Yes, I believe this wine will continue to age well. Absolutely phenomenal stuff. — 4 months ago

After a 1 hour decant this was a wonderful, well-balanced Syrah. It paired very well with a pork tenderloin. — 4 months ago

The age had allowed this to really develop its nuances and nose was floral scents and colour was ruby with brownish rim
A wonderful flavour mouthful and reasonable finish

Very nice Bordeaux from the makers of renowned Le Pin. This needs food for sure - the tannins and a bit of bitterness are quite present. But very nicely balanced with good depth and dark fruit. Nice wine esp for the price. — 3 months ago

A shy nose with subdued green apple, a hint of green reine Claude plum, very fresh & pure.
On the palate this is defined by the juicy, electric acidity - so fresh, pure & alive. Great depth and definition with a beautiful mineral backbone. Amazing with food!
Great stuff! — 4 months ago

I was very interested in this wine because I had always associated Saint Aubin with the Chardonnay grape vs the Pinot Noir grape. I really like this wine. It was on the lighter and brighter side but was very drinkable and delicious. Before I knew it, I was enjoying my third glass (oops!). I was home so there was no problem. I think the guys at crush pushed the wine (politely), I bought two bottles and I’m glad I did. I’d recommend trying this red St Aubin for yourself. Delightful. Enjoy! — 5 months ago
