Description

INTERVIEW AND TASTINGInternational wine critic and Masterclass.com Instructor James Suckling has been tasting hundreds of wines from the 2018 Bordeaux vintage and so far it is shaping up to be a powerful yet drinkable and aromatic vintage. He recently tasted three amazing 2018 wines with Edouard Moueix, executive vice president at Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix, which is the owner and producer of several prestigious crus, including Chateau La Fleur-Petrus, Chateau Trotanoy, and Chateau Hosanna in Pomerol; Chateau Belair-Monange Premier Grand Cru Classe in Saint-Emilion; and, in Napa Valley, California, Dominus Estate and Ulysses.They tasted the Trotanoy, La Fleur Petrus and Belair Monange, and discussed how much sunlight there was in 2018 and how the tannins in the 2018s are very special. Listen to the podcast to find out why. They also had a candid discussion about Bordeaux's newest vintage, the 2020, which was challenging to say the least.
