Bordeaux Part 1: Médoc

Hi wine nerds! 

Welcome to Episode 20! I'm so happy that this little passion project has made it to twenty episode that I decided to celebrate by talking about one of my favourite celebratory wines: Bordeaux.

Maybe you're like me and you sit awake at night wondering about the history and evolution of French wine into the international market.. or maybe you are sipping on a Pinot Noir somewhere and thinking, "Hmmm... I kind of prefer wines with a little more body." Either way this episode is for you. 

Just sit back and think of England. 

I used some great resources for this episode: 

The Oxford Companion to Wine by Jancis Robinson. 

The Complete Bordeaux by Stephen Brook. 

Inside Bordeaux by Jane Anson. 

Jane Anson is a legend! Check her out! 

I talked about so many Chateaux this week that I am not going to name them all. Instead I will leave you with this:

But don't forget that Chateau Chasse Spleen in the Moulis en Medoc is not part of the 1855 classification!

Until next week, I hope you drink something delicious!
