This event took place mid-May in a lovely place nearby Paris.
Here is the list of the nine tasted wines:
- Calon Ségur
- Capbern Gasqueton
- Cos d’Estournel
- Cos Labory
- Haut-Marbuzet
- Lafon-Rochet
- Ormes de Pez
- Phélan Ségur
- Montrose
This appellation final is marked by the surprise victory of Phélan Ségur, which delighted us by its sapidity and its length in the mouth, the latter being punctuated by a beautiful final balance. Châteaux Calon-Ségur and Lafon-Rochet complete the podium of a tasting that was both technical (by its variety) and well-made. Small disappointment however for the Châteaux Montrose and Cos d’Estournel which will certainly benefit from being kept much longer in the cellar.
And here are the results:
