I There’s no better city to hold this gathering than Hong Kong: few places are as dynamic where fine wine is concerned. The good news is that you don’t have to spend a fortune any more to find a beautiful bottle of Bordeaux. I personally selected all the wines served at the Great Wines of Bordeaux event, and rated them all 90 points or more in tastings. I tried to select wines that were drinking well now and sell for HK$2,500 or less a bottle. Most are available from Hong Kong wine merchants, but some may need to be ordered specially. This guide includes current buying advice and information on the best of Bordeaux; short evaluations about the wine estates participating in the event and the wines served during the two days, with ratings out of 100; and a list of wines poured, ordered by winery name, vintage and score. I hope you enjoy the event, and that it helps you to discover, or redis- cover, what makes Bordeaux so special.

  • Vintage Notes
    VINTAGE NOTES The following chart is a compilation (or cuvee if you will!) of notes from the major Bordeaux critics – Jancis Robinson (JR), Decanter (DC), Wine Spectator (WS), Robert Parker (RP), James Suckling (JS), as well as the lesser known, but thorough, website – Wine Cellar Insider (WCI). If there is anything that was solidified while compiling all the information, is that each critic can have widely different opinions regarding each appellation and each vintage, which can result in conflicting information with regards to the quality. The best advice is to find a critic whose palate and assessments you respect and align with your own palate. This is by no means meant to be taken as gospel, but rather hopefully a way to view & compare several opinions about each vintage in a succinct way, rather than flipping through various tabs and websites. Although there was some editing done on our part on the verbiage used by each publication, we did our best to remain true to their words. Not every vintage has notes from each critic for a few reasons – their publication didn’t offer anything specific enough, or any information at all in some cases, or just a blanket assessment was offered. If there are specific appellations mentioned in each column, it’s referring to the lauded overall quality of the appellation for that vintage. One of the top 3 questions any wine professional or Sommelier is often asked “when can I drink this (insert wine name here)? The answer is rarely an easy one but there is this basic guideline you can follow: if you like your wines to have big fruit flavours and assertive structure, drink the wine soon (and don’t forget to decant it), if you prefer to drink wines that are starting to show tertiary or savoury characteristics (more earthy and leather notes, maybe some smokiness and mushroom), tuck the bottle to the back corner of your cellar or wine fridge and try to forget about it for a few years.

  • Catalogue February 2014 UNDERSTANDING BORDEAUX
    BORDEAUX SALE CATALOGUE FEBRUARY 2014 UNDERSTANDING BORDEAUX To start the journey of exploring Bordeaux, you need to fi rst start with the classifi cation system. In 1855, being lovers of red tape, the French ‘authorities’ created what became known as ‘The Classifi ed Growths of the Médoc ’. A fi ve-class classifi cation of 61 of the leading Médoc Châteaux (as well as two from Graves). This formalised lists that were already in place, based on each Châteaux relative quality as expressed by the prices of each individual estate. These growths, or ‘Crus’ range from fi rst (Premier) through to fi fth (Cinquièmes). Over the years that have passed since, there has been very little change to the 1855 classifi cation other than Château Mouton Rothschild moving from second growth to fi rst in 1973 - Baron Philippe de Rothschild reportedly saying “First I am, second I was, Mouton does not change”. Château Cantamerle was added as a fi fth growth in 1856 and Château Dubignon, a third growth, was absorbed into Château Malescot St Exupéry. Saint-Émilion added its own classifi cation system in 1955, which has subsequently been frequently amended. Pomerol has never been classifi ed, although the greatest wine from this region, Château Petrus, is generally spoken of in the same hushed tones as the fi ve fi rst growths of the Médoc . THE MÉDOC FIRST GROWTHS: • Château Lafi te-Rothschild (Pauillac) • Château Margaux (Margaux) • Château Latour (Pauillac) • Château Haut-Brion (Graves) • Château Mouton-Rothschild (Pauillac) Whilst much of the classifi cation system holds true today, the inherent problem with the system is that some of the Châteaux have improved out of sight since it was fi rst introduced, while oth- ers are considered to have rested on their laurels, smug in the knowledge that their wines will al- ways fetch high prices, as this was what the clas- sifi cation was based on in the fi rst place.
