Very fine tasting of Château du Retout, with 2009 through to 2023, and the latest bottling of the white. Loving 2009 & 2010! To write up for TWI as soon as! #retout #duretout #chateauduretout #hautmedoc #bordeaux #wine
A very nice vertical tasting of recent and older vintages of Cantemerle. Will write up for TWI! #cantemerle #chateaucantemerle #hautmedoc #bordeaux #bordeauxwine #wine
Nice (if a bit too warm) early evening run to stretch the legs around the vineyard and grounds of the renovated Château Cantemerle. Vines, grapes, ponds and bridges. #cantemerle #hautmedoc #bordeaux #running #wine

An afternoon (no longer) in Margaux, part 5. Oops! I cross international borders to step into the Haut-Médoc, to taste the Retout Red and white with Frédéric Soual. #hautmedoc #retout #bdx24 #bdx2024 #bordeaux #primeurs

After a couple of other visits in Margaux I headed north, passing by Beychevelle. Thought I might as well pop in, and stumbled upon Philippe Blanc and Anthony Yaigre pouring Beaumont and Beychevelle ‘24. #stjulien #hautmedoc #beychevelle #beaumont #bdx24 #bdx2024 #bordeaux #primeurs #wine
