This is a wine to start a cellar with. Buy a case, drink a bottle every few months, beginning in a year or two. It's the genuine article, a wine I feel really lucky to have run across. Finally, a Bordeaux that I both like and can easily afford to buy. Chateau la Grolet breathes new life into a category of wine that I've found very stale in recent years. Finding certified Biodynamic wine in a region that is about as conservative and conventional as France gets can be a challenge, finding one that tastes great and costs comparatively little is a dream come true, or at least a happy turn of events. If you do buy a case, the boxes are awesome! Unicorns, ladybugs, hippie as all get-out.
