Ward on Wine Spring Wine Class Series Bordeaux Uncorked Re-Cap

Bordeaux-337 The Bordeaux class was a huge success. The attendees enjoyed tasting wines from many of Bordeaux’s classic communes, learning how to identify the varietal composition of the wine based on the geographic location of the vineyards. Bordeaux vintages were discussed in the class as well. Participants tasted examples of seven different vintages dating back to 2000. Vintage variation was discussed and what to expect from a Bordeaux as it ages. The class attendees left well equipped with the information needed to manage wines in their cellars and navigate the Bordeaux section of a retail store.

Here are some of the wines featured at the event.

Chateau De Fontenille Entre-Deux-Mers
Chateau Tronquoy-Lalande Bordeaux-129
Chateau Canon La-Gaffeliere
Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux
Chateau Bellegrave Pauillac
Chateau du Glana St Julien (two vintages 2009, 2010)
