Pauillac: The Jewel in the Crown of Bordeaux? with Jay Youmans MW – In Person

1 1/2 hours, $225

Many argue that Pauillac is the ultimate source for Cabernet Sauvignon blends in Bordeaux (perhaps the world). In the classification of 1855, the commune did account for 3 First Growths, 2 Second Growths, 1 Fourth Growth, and 12 Fifth Growths; and with the top wines ageing and improving for 100 years or more, maybe they are on to something. Jay Youmans MW will lead this special tasting of the following wines:

Château Fonbadet – 2018
