Following two years without a Bordeaux en primeur tasting, we’re delighted to invite you to taste the 2021 vintage with us in the comfortable surroundings of Haberdashers’ Hall. Our team will travel to Bordeaux at the end of April to taste the wines and our full report will follow.
Although it’s early for commentary, Christian Seely of Pichon-Longueville suggests comparative vintages are 2004, 2008 and 2014 – classic vintages, with good balance and acidity – all of which are drinking beautifully now. A longer growing season than the previous three vintages gave grapes time to achieve ‘perfect ripeness’, according to Charlotte Mignon, Cellar Master at Larrivet Haut Brion. It’s a heterogenous vintage, where the weather conditions have affected individual Chateaux differently, and so tasting will be beneficial to discover which wines you’ll need to make room for in your cellar.
Alongside the 2021s, we’ll also be showing a selection of our favourites from earlier vintages, all ready for immediate drinking and delivery.
Davy’s team and producers will be on hand to discuss any questions you have about the vintage, the wines, and tasting en primeur wines.
