Finale of Appellation Saint-Emilion 2008

This final took place at the end of April 2022 in Sucy en Brie.

Here is the list of the eleven tasted wines:

  • Beau-Séjour Bécot
  • Canon
  • Clos Fourtet
  • Figeac
  • Fonplégeade
  • La Gaffelière
  • Les Grandes Murailles
  • Larcis Ducasse
  • Pavie Macquin
  • La Mondotte
  • Troplong Mondot

This wonderful finale of appellation was dominated by La Mondotte, a real “fighter jet”, so much so that it stands out by its power and “fatness” compared to the other wines. Larcis Ducasse was a very good second. Together with Les Grandes Murailles and Fonplégeades, they certainly represent the best value for money of this blind wine tasting:
