When it comes to colder weather, few dishes offer better food and wine pairings with Bordeaux wine than slow cooked lamb, especially braised or in stew. Slow cooking releases flavors and fats that coupled with wine, offer sumptuous, rich, savory, dining experiences.
2012 Bordeaux harvest continues in the Medoc. Alcohol levels look to be moderate, which should produce a classically, styled Bordeaux vintage in the Left Bank.
It’s a busy week for Bordeaux. Chateau d’Issan and Chateau Monbousquet sell shares and Robert Parker releases his 2010 Bordeaux ratings!
For me, planting Chardonnay in the Right Bank is a question of passion, pleasure and taking on new, challenges! The style of the wine will have the same levels of complexity you find in new world wines, with low acidity and a great freshness.
I think that the 2013 Bordeaux vintage, due to the weather conditions, will produce an exceptional vintage for white Bordeaux wine. The 2013 white Bordeaux wine should turn out better than what was produced in 2001
There are some extraordinary 2003 Bordeaux wines that offer some of the most interesting tasting experiences available in wine. Others are already well past their prime as they matured at a pace that was much faster than anticipated.
