Our Provenance Guarantee
Purchase with confidence. All of our wines are selectively sourced and thoroughly inspected for authenticity and signs of poor storage. Accepted bottles are preserved in our climate-controlled cellar until they reach your doorstep. We have no storefront and no walk-in traffic, so nothing is moved or handled between inspection and shipping.
The bottle you see photographed is the bottle you receive (or fundamentally identical when multiple bottles are listed), and our commitment to you is that it arrives as represented. If it doesn’t, we want to hear from you.
Tasting Notes:
93 points James Suckling
Lots of black truffle plus blueberry and blackberry. Some white pepper too. Full-bodied with a lovely soft, round texture. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon but has a high percentage of Merlot with hints of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. (10/2015)

Made from a selection of the lots considered not rich enough for Les Pavots, the 2012 L’Esprit des Pavots is a 1,710-case blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. A fruity red displaying notes of coffee beans, chocolate, plums, black cherries, truffles and earth. (RP) (12/2014)
