Bordeaux Region Report
The Bordeaux wine region in southwestern France is a global symbol of exceptional winemaking, shaped by its geography and maritime climate. Bordered by the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, which merge into the Gironde Estuary, the region is divided into the Left Bank, Right Bank, and Entre-Deux-Mers. Its terroir and climate provide ideal conditions for cultivating both red and white grape varieties. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon dominate red blends, with Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and others adding complexity. Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle lead white wine production, spanning crisp dry whites to sweet, botrytized masterpieces like Sauternes.
Bordeaux is home to over 60 appellations and several historic classification systems, including the 1855 Classification of Médoc and Sauternes, Graves, and the dynamic Saint-Émilion system. The Left Bank is renowned for structured Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wines from Médoc and Graves, while the Right Bank specializes in plush, Merlot-driven wines from Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Entre-Deux-Mers focuses on dry white wines. Bordeaux’s wine styles range from full-bodied reds to elegant dry whites and luscious dessert wines, with each appellation offering distinct character and complexity.

Chateau Coutet, 1947
Barsac, Premier Cru Classe
1947 Chateau Coutet tasting note from Cellar Tracker. "If the nose on the 1947 Coutet is promising, then the palate over-delivers with the most fresh rough cut Seville orange marmalade, macadamia, toffee, cooked shiitake, Marsala, and unsmoked cigar. This isn’t the biggest, but I love its combination of fresh and savory, of young and old, of lush and svelte." Tasted 2022 - 96 Points

Chateau Palmer, 1947
Margaux 3rd Growth Classification
95 Points cellar tracker review.
" It takes 15-20 minutes to open up this 69-year old beauty. Opulent and warm nose with light flower and prefume. The palate rested with clean and clear cherry, mints and sweet. Medium finishing given the age. It showed its best around 55-75 minutes after the bottle opened, and faded quickly after with alcoholic taste." Review on cellar tracker posted 2016.
An icon of the Margaux appellation, immediately recognisable by its midnight blue label and its inimitable velvet taste, Château Palmer has illustrated itself, over the course of its history, by a sound obsession: to carry its wines further on in their expression of the nuances of a great terroir. …

Chateau Lynch-Bages, 2008

Reviews for the 2008 Chateau Lynch-Bages: "A sensational effort for the vintage, this textured, opulent, superb Lynch Bages is already strutting its stuff and should easily last for 20 years.

Bravo!" Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 2011.
"Juxtaposed against the Pichon-Lalande, the Lynch Bages is far more reticent on the nose with more overt graphite and sous-bois aromas inflecting the fruit. …
