  1. Great video and excellent review! Following your advice, I will be visiting them in May(and staying in their premises).I hope to enjoy the experience as much as you did!

  2. Do you think the fruit would become more apparent with more time in the glass or after the opened bottle has sat for an hour or two? Thanks for the tasting!

  3. Only had this once, it was an 82 which my brother in law presented for a special meal with family and friends. It started of divine and sublime but sadly it quickly faded into harsh tannins and hard acids 😢

  4. Make sure they clean the presses for the winter. Did a Bordeaux tour a few years ago finding a number of presses in storage clogged with stems and seeds.

  5. How relevant is the 1855 classification today? The weather and climate are completely different, and even the soil probably is different.

  6. great one! cheers! this will continue to stay in my chiller for quite a bit! =) always love a CdE…
    curious how it involved after more breathing?

  7. Wonderful video, vicarious thrill for me, Agnese. What do you think about Day 2 or Day 3 tasting. During the week, I rarely finish a bottle, and drink over 2 or 3 days. Cheers!

  8. What a GREAT winery ! I remember visiting it decades ago and not only are the wines phenomenal, the Chateau has a very unique architecture… I believe Indian influences ?

  9. So if I don’t see you pouring the wine from an original bottle how do I know you are really trying this wine…… 🤷🏻‍♂️
