Terre de Vins Bordeaux Tasting has been one of my favorite annual events during the last decade. Every December, as a Maitre de Cave blogger, I reserve the weekend to make certain I can experience Bordeaux during the holiday season and two days of exciting wine and spirit tasting.
Following is a list of my favorite wines at the Tasting and their Ratings:
Maître de Cave presents our list of Exceptional Wines from the April 2023 Primeur Tastings in Bordeaux during the last week of April. The list of Exceptional Wines from the 2022 vintage is significantly larger than the 2021 vintage. The reason there are more Exceptional Wines, and generally higher, overall ratings, is because the vintage is significantly better.
Our overall impression of the 2020 vintage during Primeurs was that the 2020 vintage was a good vintage with many exceptional wines among both the finest Châteaux and among those less-well-known Châteaux in the less well-known Bordeaux Appellations.
