Bordeaux 2021 Vintage Tasting, by the Commanderie de Bordeaux in Dallas

Maître Rick Currey

We had a fantastic time at the tasting of the 2021 vintage, on Thursday 9th June 2022. Moral of the story is : don’t always believe what you read in the press.

We met a wine club called Roots and Water. First we watched the Bordeaux Wine School video, «All the shades of colour of the 2021 vintage» and then worked our way through the wines.

As a teaching tool I provided 2018 Branaire Ducru, Lascombes and Fombrauge and the 2016 and 2018 of Clos Floridene white.

While a few people (4) had experience in tasting en primeur wines, 13 members did not. Having the newest released wine 2018 explained the development process.

I know this was a lot of work for everyone we are very appreciative.

Merci Beaucoup !
