Bordeaux CIVB 2007: Left Bank Wines
The following wines were tasted at a tasting organised on behalf of the Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux in Edinburgh in October 2007. The tasting had a focus on generics and cru bourgeois properties many of which were of considerable interest, as well as occasionally stretching up to the higher echelons of Bordeaux, with the likes of Pichon-Lalande, Suduiraut and one or two others.
A number of UK importers and merchants attended and I have included details on stockists as well as prices (many of which do not include taxes and should only be used as a guide) with the notes, along with wine-searcher links to facilitate price comparisons. Nevertheless I have ordered the wines by origin rather than importer, starting with generics and most of the left bank wines below, and in part two I cover the right bank and the sweet wines, obviously including Sauternes but also a good number of wines from some of Bordeaux’s less commonly encountered appellations.
