A year on, almost to the day, of our last evening tasting Bordeaux-only wines\u2026 travelling on that occasion to the other side of the Gironde – our small group of explorers brought along a selection of wines from the \u2018Left Bank\u2019. Bordeaux is split by the Gironde Estuary, which in turn divides into the Dordogne and Garonne rivers. When looking at a map of the region, the area to the north and right of the Gironde is the \u2018Right Bank\u2019 and the areas below and to the left make up the \u2018Left Bank\u2019. The area in between the split is known as \u2018Entre Deux Mers\u2019.<\/p>

On the Left Bank, wines are usually Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant, with Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc\u00a0as supporting varietals. Right Bank wines are predominantly Merlot-based, with Cabernet Franc as the secondary component. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot tend to be lesser features in the blends.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Of course, Bordeaux produces white wines as well! In fact many would argue that Bordeaux\u2019s finest wine is a white – Sauternes. We started our tasting evening with a couple of the dry white wines that are typical – and excellent – from the Left bank. Clos des Lunes \u2018Lune des Argent\u2019 2022<\/b> is labelled as \u2018Grand Vin Blanc Sec\u2019. It is from the Domaine de Chevalier stable, made by Olivier Bernard. The production of the Clos des Lunes wines is split into three distinguishing labels. \u2018Lune d\u2019Or\u2019 is considered the top cuv\u00e9e; with the wine tonight – \u2018Lune d\u2019Argent\u2019 described by the producer as \u201cthe heart of Clos des Lunes\u2019 production\u201d. Here, the S\u00e9millon takes the lead, with the Sauvignon Blanc adding acidity and a more precise sharpness to the density of the S\u00e9millon. Dry, with a touch of oak, it has an identifiable \u2018Sauternes\u2019 character.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

To have another white Bordeaux on the night is a good start. Clos Floridene 2020<\/b> is a \u201cGrand Vin de Graves\u2019 from Denis & Florence DeBourdieu. Also made from S\u00e9millon and Sauvignon Blanc, this has a little more acidity, and even a touch more familiarity to a kiwi palate. Citrus, gooseberry, preserved lemon, grapefruit and ginger flavours throughout, with a nip of pepper and green herbs in there too. A white Bordeaux like one this might only cost you $35, and is well worth seeking out – especially considering what you would pay for a good Bordeaux red.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After a false start with a Chateau Leoville Barton 1998<\/b> opened, only to discover it was corked, we go oldest to youngest. Domaine de Chevalier Rouge 2000<\/b> comes from Pessac-L\u00e9ognan – a \u2018Grand Cru Clas\u00e9e de Graves\u2019. From a terrific vintage, it has quite amazing youth on the nose – an almost Australian blast of fresh, ripe red fruits. Cassis, bramble, redcurrant and an exotic orchid floral note. There is power with a subdued elegance. Tannin has given structure to what would appear to be a wine that could go for another twenty years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

My personal favourite appellation of the Left Bank is Margaux, and I contribute a Chateau d\u2019Angludet 2003<\/b> to the proceedings. Even as recently as the 60s and 70s this old Chateau was in a poor state and disregarded. The Sichel family have reinvigorated the property and it now produces wines that sit very well in any lineup of Margaux wines. The 2003 vintage is typically one to approach with caution as it was outlandishly hot, but I had the chance to sample this wine before buying a few, and it does carry some heat through the palate. I guess the early picking will have helped to retain some crispness. It does seem aged compared to the 2000 wine in our glasses just before – and the hot vintage will have some responsibilty towards that development\u2026 but the secondary flavours are appeal to most at the table and are quite lovely.<\/p>

Our other reds are all from the very good 2015 vintage. Chateau Langoa Barton 2015<\/b> hails from the Saint-Julien appellation. This could only really come from Bordeaux, with an old-school claret medium-bodied character. A little firm at this point, with solid, sappy tannins, but the fruit is bright enough, with rose petal florals and a touch of Cabernet-typicity in its pencil shavings and tobacco notes. The oak here is also noticeable, with a warm toastiness, but overall it is quite juicy and shows some pleasant green herbals right through the palate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Chateau Lynch Moussas 2015<\/b> brings up a couple of wines from the appellation of Paulliac. There is graphite here, alongside ripe blackcurrant, pepper, liquorice and plum. Quite intense, with a tart acidity giving a linearity to the palate. A mineral quartz quality makes its presence felt too. This is very assured and refined – very Paulliac in fact. Again, young and energetic – a theme we find with these wines of under a decade of age.<\/p>

Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 2015<\/b> is the other Pauillac wine. It has a great Cabernet nose – just brimming with typical notes of blackcurrant, mint, dark chocolate, pepper and damson. Firmer in the palate, with a good grip of youthful, fine tannin. The oak has a smoky, incense element to it, framing the inky juice. A satisfying depth, threaded with a plumpness to the fruit – just enough to peek through the structure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The 2015s we tasted tonight were all double-decanted and still show as quite tense and solid, needing more time to relax and integrate. That 2000 was spectacular – the wine of the night, and perhaps a sign that you need to pay close attention to vintages when picking up wines that might dent the credit card a little. The corked nature of one of the wines is just the luck of the draw – you\u2019re always going to find one here and there in wines sealed under cork.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
