Bordeaux 1er Cru Classé – A journey through the 1990s

The highlight of the evening is Bordeaux’s Left Bank, with wines from Château Haut-Brion, Château Mouton Rothschild and Château Latour – three of the five producers that today hold Premier Cru Classé status, the highest level of the 1855 Bordeaux Classification.

All the Bordeaux wines are from the 1990s and have been ageing in bottle for around 30 years. This gives us the opportunity to taste the wines at a fascinating stage in their development and explore how extended bottle ageing shapes some of Bordeaux’s most renowned wines.

The evening concludes with a Sauternes from Château de Rayne Vigneau.

Wines of the evening:

• S.A. Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve, Champagne
• 1995 Château Haut-Brion, 1er Cru Classé, Pessac-Léognan

In total, we will taste six wines, with 5 cl of each wine. The tasting will be led by The Winery Hotel’s Head Sommelier, John Sterner, who will guide us through the wines, vintages and the Bordeaux Classification.

No previous knowledge is required – the tasting is suitable both for those with an interest in wine and those looking to learn more.

The tasting will be held in Swedish. We meet at Winemakers Bar in the hotel lobby.
