On Tuesday last week, we welcomed 50 of the greatest producers from Bordeaux to our largest-ever ‘For the Love of Bordeaux’ tasting. The previous two editions focused on the acclaimed 2019 and 2020 vintages, and we felt it was important to continue in chronological order by highlighting 2021. Bordeaux’s 2021 vintage recalls the past, with cooler summers and wines featuring moderate alcohol levels and bright acidity. The event sold out in record time, and we were thrilled to welcome over 300 retail and private client customers to The Mall Galleries, just around the corner from Trafalgar Square.

The atmosphere was festive, as customers enjoyed the great Cabernet-based wines of the Left Bank, Merlot/Cabernet Franc wines of the Right Bank, and the underrated dry whites and Sauternes of the 2021 vintage. We also showcased a selection of French cheese from Jeroboams, and Cognac provided the perfect digestif post-tasting. After such a successful event, we can’t wait to return next year with the 2022 edition!

A big thank you to our Bordelais producers who joined us on the day.

Be sure to join us at the next one!
