Great visit and tasting at Château Corton Grancey, the home of Domaine Louis Latour. Awesome white wine selection and stylish reds. Interestingly there is not a Corton Grancey Grand Cru vineyard. The wine is a blend of four Corton Grand Crus....Les Bressandea, Les Perrieres, Les Greves and Clos du Roi. The side of the Corton hill near Pernand Vergelesses is mainly Grand Cru white (Corton Charlemagne) whilst the East facing part of Corton is mainly red Grand Cru.

Great tasting at Château Duhart Milon. Thank you Anne-Sophie! 2023 Duhart Milon White was a total revelation. Lafite Rothschild 2003 was an absolute treat.

Excellent tasting at GPL. The 2022 is awesome. Have wanted to taste this wine for a long time. It is power packed, deep Pauillac spice and very classy.

Tasting at Chateau Latour in Pauillac. An iconic estate owned by Francois Pinault since 1993. The tower is an emblamatic symbol of Bordeaux. The cellars have been dug deeper since the Chateau stopped releasing their wines ‘en primeur’ back in 2012. There are over 10 vintages of wine stocked in the cellar (well over 1 million bottles). We tasted the 2019 Pauillac, 2015 Les Forts de Latour and 2016 Chateau Latour. Awesome long lived classy wine that continues to astound. 2016 on a par with 2010, 1982 and quite possibly 1959.

The well maintained veggie patch at Chateau Latour under a typical Medoc cloudy day. Leoville LasCases vineyards the other side. Immaculate.

Early start from the stunning Les Sources de Caudalie, a luxury hotel literally in the vineyards of Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte. Busy day planned.
