What you'll learn in this wine tasting class:
The Crus Classés de Graves is is different from any other French classification. It's the only classification that ranks both red and white wines from the same AOC
Only 16 chateaux exist in the classification & there is no ranking within it. Of the 16 only 6 are classified for both white & red wines, while the remaining 10 are only classified for either white or red. We invite you to come taste Cru Classe de Graves & learn the intricacies of the classification, the chateaux, & the Pessac-Leognan AOC.
In this exclusive one-time event, we'll discover high quality examples from this unique category of fine wines from Bordeaux during a seated edu-tasting hosted by Special Guest Brinda Bourhis, Brand Ambassador of the Crus Classés de Graves, and moderated by our own Master Sommelier David Glancy
All wines will be from the exceptional 2018 vintage!
Event Wines:
