Final of Appellation Saint Julien 2008

This final took place in June 2021 at Pascale and Luc’s home in Sucy en Brie.

Here is the list of the eleven tasted wines:

  • Beychevelle
  • Branaire Ducru
  • Ducru Beaucaillou
  • Gloria
  • Gruaud Larose
  • Lagrange
  • Langoa Barton
  • Léoville Barton
  • Léoville las Cases
  • Léoville Poyferré
  • Saint-Pierre

Léoville Las Cases won by a narrow margin over Langoa Barton. Two very aromatic and powerful wines that will benefit from being kept in the cellar for a few years to soften the tannins.

Here are the results of the wine tasting party:

« Beautiful evening at Pascale and Luc’s. Wines of great quality. Expressive nose. Mouths sometimes a little austere, even closed. All in all, excellent wines! The 1976 Beychevelle as an aperitif was amazing. The 1976 Doisy Dubroca a bit smooth, but bringing a good freshness to close this very good dinner on the terrace, including Spanish charcuterie and a garbure de-structured according to Luc!»
