This is the club’s first campaign without Daniel Lamare, its founder. It took place over two years, 2007 and 2008. We tested 94 bottles (including seven doubles and three triples) in ten different tastings:
- Eight Appellation Finals
- Final B with the winners of the naming finals
- Final A with the first three of the B final as well as the eight Super Grands Crus: Ausone, Cheval Blanc, Haut-Brion, Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Mouton Rothschild and Petrus
Here are the podium for the Appellation finals:
Here are the results (first six) of the B Final:
Here are the results (six first) of the A Final (in Sucy en Brie), which included the first three of the B Final, as well as the eight Super Grands Crus Classés (including the five First Growth).
