Tasting Zone

Line up of an unforgettable tasting made at Château Beychevelle in September 2023.

If each castle has its own history, the best way to express it is in the bottle. Terroir, vintage and human work form the very identity of a wine, which it is good to discover and rediscover over time.

In this section, you will find the tastings carried out during property visits, but also those carried out during professional tastings, as well as those made in private settings. Each comment will illustrate how I felt about the wine at the time of the tasting. A score out of 100 will be attributed to it, here is my scale:

Score of 100/100: Extraordinary wine
Score between 96 to 99/100: Exceptional wine
Score between 90 and 95/100: Excellent wine
Score between 86 and 89/100: Very good wine
Score of 84 or 85/100: Good wine
Score less than 84: Unsatisfactory wine

Of course, each note associated with his comment is my own.

To date, this page is only for Bordeaux wines, with the aim of extending it to other regions in the coming months.
