That is exactly what the Vintagevin Tasting Box gives you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe have handpicked three extraordinary wines from three of Europe's most iconic wine regions — Montalcino, Meursault and Margaux — from three different decades. This time a white wine is included, and there is a reason for that: mature white Bourgogne is some of the rarest you can get to taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe three wines of the box:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🇮🇹 \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino Casale del Bosco 1975 Riserva — Toscana\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 51-year-old Brunello Riserva from Tenute Silvio Nardi. Silvio Nardi bought the Casale del Bosco estate in 1950 as one of the very first outsiders who saw what Montalcino could become, made his first Brunello in 1958 and helped found the Consorzio in 1967. The perspective is worth noting: in 1975 Montalcino counted around 25 producers compared to just over a hundred today, and Brunello was still DOC — the DOCG only came in 1980. Aromas of dried cherry and plum, leather, tobacco, dried flowers and forest floor with the balsamic note that great old Brunello develops. The tannins are fully integrated, and the Sangiovese acidity still keeps the wine upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🇫🇷 \u003cstrong\u003eMeursault Domaine Bitouzet 1992 — Côte de Beaune, Bourgogne\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe white wine of the box. The Bitouzet family settled in Volnay in 1804 and were among the very first winegrowers in Bourgogne to bottle their own wine — at a time when almost everything left Côte d'Or in barrels. Vincent Bitouzet has a reputation as a classicist: wines built for structure and longevity rather than early charm. That is exactly why it is still worth opening 34 years after the harvest. Deeply golden, almost amber-colored — that is how it should look. Baked apple, dried apricot, hazelnut, honey, beeswax and toasted bread over a flinty minerality, with the broad texture that only Meursault has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🇫🇷 \u003cstrong\u003eChâteau Prieuré-Lichine 2004 — Margaux, Bordeaux\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Quatrième Grand Cru Classé from the 1855 classification with roots back to a Benedictine priory from the 15th century. In 1951, the estate was down to eleven hectares of neglected vines when it was bought by Alexis Lichine — born in Moscow, raised in New York and the writer who did the most to explain French wine to the English-speaking world. He gave it his name, rebuilt it parcel by parcel and died at the château in 1989. 2004 was a classic vintage with moderate alcohol, fresh acidity and real tannin. Ripe blackcurrant and dark plum, cedar, graphite and Margaux's violet perfume. The youngest and most structured wine of the box — and the one with the most future ahead of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded in the box:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDetailed description of each wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGuide to handling vintage wine — including recommended serving order and temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eVintage corkscrew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/vintage_tasting_box_4.pdf?v=1786027365\"\u003eDOWNLOAD DESCRIPTION\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bottles With History","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57074859704646,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/1966DK-6.png?v=1786027285","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/vintage-taste-box-4-0","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
