A moment at Clos Fourtet, to taste the 2023 vintage. The estate’s history can be traced back to the Gallo-Roman era when it was a military camp. I think it does much better as a vineyard myself. #closfourtet #stemilion #bordeaux #bdx2023 #wine

Did you know the rope on the Pavie-Macquin label is a noose? No? Well you do now! Pavie-Macquin was where the townsfolk would hang criminals, a warning to those approaching the town to behave! Other fun facts coming in my 2023 Bordeaux report in January. #paviemacquin #stemilion #bordeaux #bdx2023

To the right bank now, starting in St Emilion with Pavie. A sad year here as Gérard Perse, who made this estate what it is today, passed away. Nevertheless, a pleasure to visit and taste the 2023s which were looking good. #stemilion #pavie #chateaupavie #aromesdepavie #bordeaux #bdx2023 #wine

Feeling browned off by Bordeaux prices? Don’t be! You can find very good wines at fair prices. Like Château Brown, for starts. #brown #chateaubrown #pessacleognan #graves #bordeaux #bdx2023 #wine

Great to catch sight of the new label for the 2023 Mouton-Rothschild. Brings back nice memories of being at the revealing event and dinner last year. This year the label is by Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos. #moutonrothschild #bdx2023 #artandwine #joanavasconcelos #art #bordeaux #wine

Smart line-up at Mouton-Rothschild for my 2023 tasting at the château, with Petit Mouton, d’Armailhac & Clerc-Milon alongside. Rumours that we also tasted 1945 Mouton Cadet are unfounded. #mouton #moutonrothschild #petitmouton #darmailhac #clercmilon #pauillac #bordeaux #bdx2023 #wine
