Bordeaux CIVB 2007: Right Bank & Sweet Wines
Part two of the notes from this tasting features the wines of the right bank, not only from St Emilion and Pomerol, but also from some less frequently encountered appellations such as Fronsac and Lalande-de-Pomerol. My collection of notes then rounds off with the sweet wines, which are of course largely from the left bank, where the appellations of Barsac and Sauternes are located, but also a few from nearby appellations, including Cérons next to Barsac, and the Premières Côtes de Bordeaux and Loupiac just across the river. As with the notes concerning the wines of the Médoc and Graves presented in part one, the wines range from those of minor estates to perhaps grander examples from more exalted properties.
As before, 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. I have noted that some wine-searcher prices can be very favourable compared to those presented below, so it is certainly worth shopping around. (6/11/07)
