Description

INTERVIEW AND TASTINGInternational wine critic and Masterclass.com Instructor James Suckling recently had a conversation with Hubert de Boüard, the famous consulting enologist of Bordeaux whose family also owns St.-Emilion’s Chateau Angelus. James tasted 100 of his wines from the 2019 vintage in his tasting room in Hong Kong. They were jet-freighted from Bordeaux and they showed very well. James was impressed with the freshness of the wines and fine and linear tannins, and the wines seem at the same quality level as the 2018s, which were excellent.Listen to this podcast to hear what they have to say about the vintage. James was most interested in what Boüard had to say about the style of the 2019 wines and his thoughts on pricing on 2019 Bordeaux futures, which he feels may drop from 30 to 10 percent compared to 2018. James thinks it needs to be more if people are going to be interested in buying futures at this moment. James remembers the financial market crisis in 2008 and some chateaux such as first growths cut their prices in half for the vintage as futures in 2009.
