Free shipping on 4. Good grief!!!

Bastille Day just keeps getting BETTER and BETTER — and the crowd today has been absolutely UNREAL!!! Every single bottle we've put up has been snatched up with the kind of joyful, unhinged enthusiasm that reminds me exactly why we do this. So thank you, truly — and get ready, because what's coming next just might be the best value of the entire day!!! Château Fourcas Hosten — and the legendary 2016 Bordeaux vintage. If you've been paying even the loosest attention to the wine world over the last decade, you already know what 2016 means. Widely heralded as one of the greatest Bordeaux harvests of the 21st century — full stop — it's the kind of vintage critics circle on their calendars years in advance, collectors scramble for at auction, and serious drinkers will still be talking about in 30 years. WE'VE GOT IT FOR $22!!!

Château Fourcas Hosten has been one of Listrac-Médoc's most distinguished names for centuries — perched atop the Haut-Médoc's highest gravelly plateau, where clay, limestone, and gravel converge to produce the kind of full-bodied, deeply structured Bordeaux that is BUILT for the cellar. This is Cru Bourgeois with genuine backbone and decades of potential ahead of it — and at ten years old, the 2016 has just pulled into its first proper drinking window, perfectly integrated and absolutely singing. From $50 retail to $35 at the best web price, to OUR price of $22 — that's 56% off retail, FREE SHIPPING on four bottles, and arguably the finest vintage-to-value ratio we've ever swung on a red Bordeaux. Très bien!!!

And the glass does not lie — not even slightly. Violets and sun-kissed hay leap up first, giving way to waves of fresh blackberries and black currants, new leather, smoked meats, and juicy mulberries. Sharp, bright, and startlingly youthful, with roasted herb depth and a warming spice that is perfectly, beautifully juxtaposed against the ripe, saturated berry character — this is a wine of tremendous class and poise. Pop one tonight with grilled lamb chops and garlic, tuck the rest away for a few more years of absolute glory — or just drink it all now like the hedonist this Bastille Day has made you. A price this absurd won't last a heartbeat with this crowd — Vive la France!!!
