Château Tour des Combés 2003 by Saint-Émilion Grand Cru France.

In 1955 the wines of Saint-Émilion in the wine-growing region of Bordeaux were classified. Unlike the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 covering wines from the Medoc and Graves regions, the Saint-Émilion list is updated every 10 years or so. Following the initial classification, the list was updated in 1969, 1986, 1996 and most recently in 2006. However the 2006 classification was declared invalid following a series of legal actions, and the 1996 version of the classification has been reinstated for the vintages from 2006 to 2009.

The picture on the label is not so clear as it is a background. It makes the distraction on the label.
I have not tasted this wine yet but I like to put it on my wine rack collection.

Château Rocs de Marchand 2007

Château Rocs de Marchand 2007 by Montagne Saint Émilion France.

From the label I can read that Montagne Saint Émilion is a vineyard in the heart region of Bordeaux. Montagne-Saint-Émilion only produces red wine, and nearly all of the grape varieties from Bordeaux can be and are used, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Côt, etc., although it is Merlot that is used most often.

Nothing special with the label. Brown and gold combination is not really eye catching. Also, the picture in the label is not standing out.
I have not tasted this wine. However the interesting information from the label at the back is this wine is suitable for Chinese Food especially roasted bebek. I think I am going to taste it soon since I like to eat roasted duck.

They have a website. Check it out:

Château Saint-Pierre 1999 by Saint-Julien France.

Saint-Julien is an Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) for red wine in the Bordeaux region, located in the Médoc subregion. It takes its name from the commune Saint-Julien-Beychevelle and is one of the six communal appellations in Médoc. A number of classified (Grand Cru Classé) Bordeaux estates are located within the appellation.

I like the Château picture on the label. It is interesting and unique. I have not tried this wine yet. I like to put this wine next to my other Château wine collection.
