Bordeaux Second Wines Masterclass
GBP 7.20
Description
Experience one of the most insightful tastings of the year with our recorded masterclass dedicated to the 2022 second wines of Bordeaux’s Grands Crus Classés. Available now for download for a small fee, this session offers a rare opportunity to explore a category that has undergone remarkable evolution over the past three decades.
Second wines today represent some of the best value in Bordeaux, benefitting from ever stricter selection for the Grand Vin and increasingly meticulous vineyard and cellar work. In this masterclass, you’ll hear from leading voices in Bordeaux as they share their perspectives on the role, identity, and future of second wines across the region.
The recording features an in-depth guided tasting of wines from all appellations covered by the 1855 Classification, including standout examples such as:
Les Allées de Cantemerle
Chevalier de Lascombes
La Réserve de Léoville Barton
Amiral de Beychevelle
Castelnau de Suduiraut
This is a unique chance to follow the session at your own pace, taste along if you wish, and gain direct insight into how the Châteaux themselves position and value these wines.
The Institute extends its thanks to the Conseil des Grands Crus Classés en 1855 for their generous support in assembling both the wines and the speakers for this special event.
