Of Course, these wines have now been delivered and are no longer for sale as futures.  But we will be preserving this site so that those who are interested can compare the present retail pricing for these wines with their value at the time of its future offering.  Such comparisons can be informative and illustrate the value of participating in Bordeaux futures offerings.

 1998 Bordeaux Futures

St. Julien's Chateau Ducru BeaucaillouWe quote from Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate: :
    "...in Pessac-Leognan, 1998 is a very good vintage. Some of the
most elegant, complete wines of the vintage were produced in Pessac-Leognan. "
    "The excitement in this vintage is primarily focused in St.-Emilion and Pomerol. ...This is not a vintage in the style of 1989 and
1990, but rather, one that recalls the massive Pomerols of 1975.  In St. Emilion, Bordeaux’s most exciting Graves' La Mission Haut Brion appellation given the extraordinary number of sexy wines being produced, there are few disappointments, and many excellent wines." a vintage that readers of The Wine Advocate who love Pomerols, and have a taste for some of the finest wines of St.-Emilion, may want to consider buying as a future."

  The Chai at Mouton Rothschild in Pauillac Sales of ‘98 Bordeaux Futures have been much stronger than expected, attributable to the uncommonly delicious offerings coming out of the ever popular Pessac / Leogan, Pomerol and St. Emilion appellations. We find that our Premieur Tranche wines are being quickly depleted, and the market for repurchase in Bordeaux has prices increasing by 15 to 25%, depending on the property. For these reasons, this may very well be our last offering at the 1er Tranche pricing level.  If you’ve been waiting to make your choices, now is the time to lock in your selections at these prices. Further delay will put consumers into the Secondary Tranches with the pricing increases mentioned above. The Kreston policy of half down at order placement with the balance due upon delivery remains un-changed--We are the only retailer not requiring payment in full in advance. The Wine Staff is available for your consultation and advice by calling (302) 652-3792.
