Chateau Lagrange 2000

Gisteravond gedronken.
Had deze fles al heel lang liggen maar dacht steeds “nee, te jong”.
Inmiddels is de fles natuurlijk al volwassen geworden.
En inderdaad, een uitstekende fles wijn mag ik wel zeggen.
Dronk deze samen met twee oud-collega’s en ik schenk altijd in zonder iets later zeggen of te laten zien.
Altijd even hun reactie afwachten en ze keken beide zeer verrast en waren tevreden.
Toch leuk om zo’n flesje zo te nuttigen.
En van enig ouderdom was echt niets te merken. Zou je echt geen 19 jaar geven.

Cru Bourgeois will be reintroduced in Médoc
07 November 2019 13:57
The designation Cru Bourgeois for chateaux has existed in Médoc for many years. Various attempts to rank them, roughly in the style of the 1855 classification, have been made since the 1930s. More or less successful. It was previously a (semi-official) classification but is currently a private label. But from 2020, a serious attempt will be made again.

Château Figeac retrieves its brand name, but not its monopoly
04 November 2019 18:18
Château Figeac is not about to get a taste of its own medicine. The October 29 ruling by the Bordeaux Court of Appeal puts an end to the legal risks incurred by the brand name Château Figeac, the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé belonging to the Manoncourt family. The court’s First Civil Division has reversed revocation of the Château Figeac brand name ruled by the Bordeaux high court three years ago, on 29 November 2016.

Sauternes – an early Christmas delight
24 October 2019 17:13
The Sauternes 50 index – a notoriously slow market mover – has risen 4.6% over the past three years. The broader Bordeaux 500 index has gone up 12.6% over the same period.

So far this year, Bordeaux’s fortunes have been mixed. Within its sub-indices, the Right Bank 50 has dipped the most (-3.1%), closely followed by the Sauternes 50 (-2.5%).

First Fete le Vin | Can this festival save Bordeaux in China?
29 October 2019 18:27
It’s no secret that times are tough for wine in China, with imports falling and local producers struggling. Many in the trade wonder how to reach more consumers. Many continue to focus on classes, dinners and events that attract those who are already fans of wine, if not a particular brand or region.

The modern ranking of Bordeaux left-bank wines
28 October 2019 17:52
A few weeks ago, I looked at what various modern commentators have written about how modern Bordeaux wines compare to the official 1855 Bordeaux Classification of the Médoc châteaux (Making modern sense of the 1855 Bordeaux classification). In that post, I looked only at the five groupings of the châteaux — Premier Crus Classés through to Cinquièmes Crus Classés (First to Fifth Growths),

2019 Bordeaux: A grape harvest and winemaking season with (virtually) no hiccups
02 October 2019 16:49
As it transitions from a sun-kissed summer to a rainy autumn, Bordeaux has harvested the bulk of its Merlot. “This is the first time I've been happy to see the rain fall at this time of the year. The grapes are ripe and rich, and the showers have come late enough not to spoil the momentum of the vintage. This is a very comfortable scenario”, said David Pernet, co-founder of the laboratory Sovivins. After keeping track of the vineyards of Gironde for twenty years, the consultant pointed out that there was “only one cloud on the horizon: alcohol content is sometimes too high”.

Château d’Yquem and the Sweetness of Laying Down Wines for Children

It’s an old tradition: laying down wine from your child’s birth year to open when that baby turns 21. And sometimes that actually works out. Jill and Jon Rubin of Deland, Fla., saved Dow’s Port 1995 and celebrated their son’s 21st with the wine, friends and chocolate cake.

A Struggling Bordeaux Château Lives Up To Its First Growth Land
28 August 2019 17:01
Over 150 years ago, many châteaux in Bordeaux had their fate decided with the red wine 1855 classification that placed 60 producers from the Médoc and one from Graves on a list that ranged from first growths to fifth growths according to prices; this would affect how they were perceived and priced for decades to come. For châteaux such as Château Pédesclaux, it was an honor just to be placed in the classification being noted as a fifth growth, however, another way to look at this is that this classification allowed many of the top wineries, such as the first and second growths, to continually improve their quality but created price restraints for those growths lower on the totem pole leaving little resources for advancement in the vineyards and cellar.

How similar is the wine quality of the Bordeaux First Growth chateaux?

We are always being told about the Premier Cru (First Growth) wines of Bordeaux, as though they are the pinnacle of red wine-making. Now, I have had only a few of these wines, but I have realized that they are not really to my taste; so their outrageous prices do not concern me, personally.

Medoc vs Haut Medoc the key differences you should know.
22 July 2019 17:33
Wine drinkers often get confused when they shop for Left Bank Bordeaux, especially if they don’t have a lot of experience reading wine labels from this region. Even some experienced wine enthusiasts aren’t sure exactly what differentiates Médoc vs. Haut-Médoc wines. Some bottles are labeled “Appellation Médoc Contrôlée” (AOC) or have the word “Médoc” in large letters. Other bottles are labeled just “Haut-Médoc.” This guide will help make sense of the incredible wines made in both the Médoc and the Haut-Médoc AOCs, providing all of the information you need to find the best bottles from each region.

Vin : comment Bordeaux a perdu la guerre du goût
16 July 2019 11:43
Moins 20 % en un an. Des ventes en chute presque libre, le vrac au cours le plus bas et qui ne trouve pas preneur, des professionnels pour le moins désorientés et malheureux. « On entre dans la crise », confiait un patron de château médocain, qui a par-devers lui « quelques vendanges au compteur ». Alors chacun, spécialistes de saison ou vrais sondeurs de conjonctures, y va de son diagnostic pour globalement redire ce nous savons déjà et avons souvent écrit. Et dans ce brouhaha, on entend surtout citer davantage les conséquences que les causes véritables. Chacun à son bouc émissaire... En effet, à des choses compliquées il est toujours souhaitable de trouver des explications simples. Surtout si l'on veut être certain de se tromper.
