1983 was a vintage that produced a large crop of high quality wines largely due to the hot dry weather throughout September and October. Immediately following the great 1982 vintage this year has been somewhat ignored. However in the Medoc particularly some estates produced better wines than in 1982.
Tonight we have selected a superb range of 9 wines covering the right and left bank of Bordeaux and these are as follows:
Château Monbousquet – St Emilion
Château Monbrison - Margaux
Château St Pierre – St Julien
Château La Lagune – Ludon
Château d’Angludet – Margaux
Château Grand Puy Lacoste – Pauillac
Château Mouton Baronne Phillippe – Pauillac
Château Cos d’Estournel – St Estephe
The tasting will be led by Jeffrey Benson who has supplied these wines from his own cellar.
