One and a half days into the primeur tastings and I am enjoying this vintage more and more. Whilst wanting to avoid the hype
Tasting the newest vintage from Bordeaux and the en primeur wines from the great Cru Classé estates is one of the most exciting experiences in the wine trade
At a client tasting last night there was one wine that stood out amongst many of its more prestigious Left Bank neighbours, Chateau Lanessan 2009. Serving this blind I asked guests for price predictions, results were £35-40 a bottle.
Here are my notes from the fantastic Pichon Baron tasting held at the Tower of London last week.
