2017 Bordeaux En Primeur with JamesSuckling.com – Right Bank

JamesSuckling.com devoted two weeks this year to prepare extensive coverage on 2017 Bordeaux en primeur. In total, James and Jack Suckling tasted almost 800 wines during their time in the region, and while many were sampled in our tasting room, we also visited around 60 chateaux. It’s how you get a grip on the ins and outs of a vintage: speaking with the people who actually made the wines.

There’s no better way to understand the climatic influences and human factors and decisions that go behind a bottle of wine, and if you have already read our full report on 2017 in Bordeaux, you’ll understand why the vintage was somewhat of a puzzle that needed unpacking. This video gives a sneak peak into a handful of our visits to top names in St.-Emilion and Pomerol; our previously published video tours the Left Bank. Also, don’t miss our free Bordeaux En Primeur 2017 PDFs, which are easy to navigate with listings and scores of all the nearly 800 wines rated.
