Bordeaux En-Primeur tastings 2012
Here is a short album of my Bordeaux visit in early May 2012. Not only did I taste the latest 2011 Bordeaux vintage, but also visit many chateaux, speak to their owners as well as taste as many wines as possible. Each chateau prepares a sample of their envisaged release for the critics and merchants to taste. Here is a summary of how the system works from my 2011 Bordeaux visit.
