This is the kind of ‘orange wine’ I like! Happy to call in to Ducru-Beaucaillou to taste the 2023 vintage. Full report on the 2023s on Winedoctor in January. #ducrubeaucaillou #stjulien #bordeaux #wine

A little detour down the road (a whole 3 km!!) to St Julien for the 2023 wines of Domaines Delon. Now back to Pauillac. #leovillelascases #closdumarquis #stjulien #bordeaux #bdx2023 #wine

A superb vertical tasting completed at Château Saint-Pierre, a high-flying St Julien estate. Another to write up for Winedoctor! #chateausaintpierre #saintpierre #stjulien #bordeaux #wine

Continuing my journey around Margaux and St Julien. This morning I called in on Château Gloria, to check out 15 recent vintages. Another vertical tasting report joins the queue coming onto Winedoctor. 🤓 #gloria #chateaugloria #stjulien #domaineshenrimartin #bordeaux #wine

Great visit to Château Lagrange today; enjoyed mooching around the private cellar, poking my nose into some old bins. I love the old Lagrange labels; yes, that is the 1925 at the end. Also tasted some 17 vintages - will write up on Winedoctor. #lagrange #chateaulagrange #stjulien #bordeaux #wine

More St Julien; stopped off at Branaire-Ducru to taste the 2024 with François-Xavier Maroteaux. No, he didn’t pour me three glasses; the other two are 2023 and 2022. #branaireducru #stjulien #bdx24 #bdx2024 #bordeaux #primeurs #wine

Onwards in St Julien; tasting Léoville-Las-Cases and Clos du Marquis with Arnaud Delon and Maxime Lillet. #stjulien #leovillelascases #closdumarquis #bdx24 #bdx2024 #bordeaux #primeurs #wine

Wonderful to share a taste of the 2024 vintage with Data Lecompte-Cuvelier at Léoville-Poyferré. #stjulien #leovillepoyferre #lecrock #moulinriche #bdx24 #bdx2024 #bordeaux #primeurs #wine

I taste with Lilian Barton, the first proprietor to realise that pouring your barrel samples while cradling a Border Collie pup automatically earns an extra 3 points. It is not without risk though - watch out for ear nibbles! #leovillebarton #langoabarton #stjulien #bdx24 #bdx2024 #bordeaux #wine

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
