Exceptional 100pt Pape Clement Sibling/ Noah’s Mill Bourbon Tasting Today we have for you the sibling of the Blockbuster 100 pt 2010 Pape Clement, One of the most famous Classified Growths from Graves. While Clementin du Pape Clement is the second wine of Pape Clement it received from it’s big brother it's elegance and richness expressed here with all the freshness and vigor of youth. This should not be thought of as just any second one as it is truly a high quality Bordeaux of great value. Clementin du Pape Clement received big scores of 93 by James Suckling and 92 by Robert Parker. While also scoring 90-93 points by Wine Spectator. All the best they have ever received.
Wine Advocate 92 Points: As for the second wine, which was harvested between September 29 and October 20 (much like the grand vin), the 2010 Le Clementin du Pape Clement is probably the best second wine I have ever tasted from Pape Clement. It certainly shouldn’t be thought of as a lesser selection, considering its high quality. Dense ruby/purple, with notes of smoked herbs, blue and black fruits, creosote and camphor, the wine is better than most Pape Clements in the 1970s and 1980s. Yields were 33 hectoliters per hectare, which is virtually nothing given the fact that this is a second wine, not a grand vin. There are 70,000 bottles of this wine produced versus 96,000 bottles of Chateau Pape Clement. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. Kudos to proprietor Bernard Magrez, who has built an empire based on high quality more than any other characteristic. James Suckling 93 Points: A wine with blackberry and dark chocolate aromas and flavors. It's full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long and intense finish. I love the depth of fruit and balance to this wine. And it's the second wine of Pape Clement. Better in 2017. Wine Spectator 90-93 Points: A dark, winey style, with macerated black currant and fig notes and a tongue-coating note of tar and espresso. Stays fresh, despite its weight, with a long, black fruit-filled finish.

Noah's Mill
The origins of Small Batch Bourbon can be traced back to the earliest days of Bourbon's long and colorful history. Like American Jazz, it is an original art form, unique to America. It is an Americ Back in the early days of colonial America, 1779 to be exact, the "Corn Patch and Cabin Rights" law went into effect. Similar to many other areas at the time, Kentucky was known as a Territory, and many of the early pioneers settling in the Kentucky Territory were growing corn as their main crop in order to validate the land claims that had been granted them, or, corn writs, as they were called. To prevent spoilage to their grain crops, many of these early settlers milled their grain and distilled it into spirits. They were, in effect, farmer-distillers out of necessity, to save their crops and their livelihoods. The area known as the Kentucky Territory soon boasted some two thousand of these farmer-distillers. These earliest farmer-distillers were basically all Small Batch producers of limited ways and means. In contrast to those Small Batch Bourbons originated by the early pioneers settling in the Kentucky Territory over two centuries ago, the Small Batch Bourbons made today are specifically handcrafted and tailored to the most discriminating tastes and palates of sophisticated connoisseurs. Connoisseurs of fine Bourbon recognize this and appreciate savoring these Small Batch Bourbons for their individual handcrafted originality, each unique and distinctive in its own way. Noah's Mill Small Batch Bourbon represents what we believe is the best combination of mature, fully aged Bourbons at a particular strength. Noah’s Mill Small Batch Bourbon 114.3 | ||||||||||||||

The vineyard then belonged to the Archdiocese of Bordeaux until the French Revolution. This area can boast itself of having produced wine on the same lands for 7 centuries.
