Very Fine and Rare Dry White Bordeaux Wines

Very Fine and Rare Dry White Bordeaux Wines

A Tasting Led by Michael Broadbent MW

Thursday 17^th May 2012

I have long wanted to arrange a very fine and rare Dry White Bordeaux tasting and when the idea first came to me a number of years ago, I approached Michael Broadbent as the perfect choice to lead it. Dry White Bordeaux is not as long-lived as its red counterpart so do not expect very old wines. As Michael says “Importantly most dry whiteBordeauxis meant to be drunk young and fresh and only the relatively few whites made at classed growth Châteaux - and mainly from Pessac-Léognan - will benefit from bottle age”. 

There will be 10 splendid wines in the tasting which will be as follows: 

1999  Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux

1988  Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux

1999  Château La Louvière

1996  Château Larrivet-Haut-Brion

1996  Château Haut- Brion Blanc

1995  Château Haut- Brion Blanc

1985  Château Laville Haut-Brion

2001  Les Hauts de Smith Haut-Lafitte

2002  Château Pape-Clément          

2003  Domaine de Chevalier.

This is a very unusual tasting order but Michael will explain his reasons on the night!

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT WILL START AT THE MUCH EARLIER TIME THAN USUAL OF 6.15PM PROMPT.
