    Bordeaux Week: Finding the Way Back to a Glass of Bordeaux

    Simon J Woolf
    Feature Stories
    4 min read
    I've noticed a bit of inverse snobbery amidst some wine professionals and connoisseurs. Familiarity with so many wonderful wine regions and styles can make them disparaging about “the world's most famous wine”. Perhaps it's a reaction against Bordeaux's ongoing transformation into a luxury brand, or the way the region is

    This is a delightful blend of zingy cranberry and rich blackberry. The nose shows very pretty high-toned red fruit. The nose shows an interesting blend of red and black fruit, bright cranberry and rich blackberry. The red fruit lingers on a long finish. Tannins are firm and are well balanced

    Rich and deep, this offers quality that belies its moderate price. The nose shows black cherry, elderberry, and mulberry. Plum, black cherry, and mulberry lead on the palate, with a pop of chocolate on the mid-palate. Tannins are firm and grippy, and the finish is mid-length. Drink with lamb chops.

    Bordeaux has long been known for tradition.  But a new generation of producers are emerging with stories more akin to the American Dream than the famous, imposing châteaux typically associated with Bordeaux.

    This is a fresh, soft white Bordeaux blend that will pair well with white fish. The wine presents with a clear straw color. Those nose is sweet, suggesting key lime pie and a graham cracker crust. On the palate it has tropical fruits, dominated by mango, followed by zesty citrus.

    From high-tech wine bars to newly restored châteaux, Bordeaux is ready and eager to receive tourists. Downtown, much of the shift has been attributed to the city’s charismatic mayor, Alain Juppé, as modern trams speed quietly along crime-free streets, carrying commuters and visitors alike.  But the classic wines, formal estates

    A young ten years old, this is just starting to show its age with a rich golden glow. The nose is wonderfully floral- the aroma of peach blossoms leaps from the uncorked bottle, followed by the light scent of ripe peaches. It has a velvelty mouth feel and flavors of

    "When I wrote the book," explained wine merchant Kermit Lynch, "I thought the oenologists were going to take over."
