    Le Vignoble De Pessac-Léognan Et Des Graves

    Le vignoble de Pessac Léognan Le vignoble de Pessac-Léognan et des Graves Photo : Château carbonnieux ! Ecole du vin muscadelle www.ecole-muscadelle.fr ! 1 Le vignoble de Pessac Léognan Introduction L’AOC pessac-léognan est jeune, elle a vu le jour en 1987. Pourquoi une création si tardive? Pourquoi avoir voulu se différencier de l’ AOC graves dont elle faisait partie? Pourquoi un seul vin rouge de la région des Graves, Château Haut-Brion, a-t’il été sélectionné pour faire partie des grands crus classés de 1855 alors les vins liquoreux de cette zone ont un classement rien que pour eux? Durant ce cours, l’idée sera de vous donner les grandes lignes de la spécificité de cette AOC prestigieuse et de mieux vous faire comprendre sa relation à l’AOC graves, au Sauternais, au reste du vignoble bordelais et à la ville de Bordeaux. Pour ceux qui n’ont pas encore eu le loisir de visiter cette région, je vous invite à le faire, le vignoble est en certains endroits totalement fondu dans la ville, mais en cherchant bien on le trouve. Localisation Le vignoble des Graves se trouve en région Aquitaine, dans le département de la Gironde, sur la rive gauche de la Garonne, autour de la ville de Bordeaux. Il est délimité au nord par la commune d’Eysines et du Haillan, à l’est par la ville de Bordeaux dans laquelle certains châteaux ont pu résister comme Haut-Brion ou Pape-Clément, à l’ouest par les landes et au sud par Mazères, Langon et Saint-Pierre-de-Mons.
  • Vintage Notes

    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.

    Retail Savings $16.99 $29.00 41% 2011 Château des Graves Bordeaux Blancproduct-timed-pdf - Graves, Bordeaux - *US Exclusive Direct Import | 93pts Rated Why We're Drinking It Chardonnay? Yawn. Viognier? Albarino? Ho-hum. Looking for a new white that’s crisp enough to sip in the sun, solid enough to drink with dinner, and complex enough to enjoy on its own? Look no farther than Bordeaux. Giving praise where its due, wine writer, former merchant in Paris, and all-around champion of French vin, Steven Spurrier says: “I have a particular affection for the Graves, because they are such elegant wines.” Indeed, Graves is one of the most important districts of Bordeaux for both reds and whites, and the appellation where some of the earliest estates (Château Haut-Brion, La Mission-Haut-Brion, and Pape-Clément) were established. So when we wanted something special and undiscovered, we knew where to look. And what we found was drop-your-jaw delicious: the 2011 Château des Graves Bordeaux Blanc, a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon coming directly from the producer. Our Panel calls it “an easy-drinking wine that is built to go with food, but can easily stand alone,” complimenting the attractive nose, healthy acidity, and powerful minerality, and adding, “The price is unbeatable, as Graves wine are remarkably undervalued.” Inside Fact: Located on the left bank of the Garonne river, southeast of the city of Bordeaux, Graves is the only subregion famous for producing all three of Bordeaux's main wine types: reds, dry whites, and sweet wines.
