About the event
Each pair will partner a classic Bordeaux from a top classification with an equally esteemed look-alike from a leading region elsewhere in the world. Roger will guide us through the art of differentiating one wine from the other.
For this first tasting, Roger has selected the following 6 wines for us to taste in pairs, while he guides us in the art of differentiating a classic Bordeaux from its counterpart:
WHITE
Château Carbonnieux 2020, Pessac-Léognan
DeLille Cellars Chaleur Blanc 2021, Columbia Valley, Washington
RED
Pair #1
Glenelly Estate “Lady May” 2016, Stellenbosch, South Africa
Château Branaire Ducru 2016, Saint-Julien
Pair #2
Dominus Estate Napanook Vineyard 2019, Napa Valley
Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2019, Pauillac
To ensure that everyone has the same wine, the final selection of wines will depend on the number of participants and availability at the time of order. Therefore, we may be required to substitute similar quality wines, as identified by Roger.
