Bordeaux En Primeur Tasting 2010 (4-8pm)

Date: 4 May 2011

Price: £30

Venue: Lord’s Cricket Ground (Nursery Pavilion)

Bibendum's 6th annual Bordeaux Tasting returns to Lord's Cricket Ground on Wednesday, May 4th 2011. It is the UK's biggest public Bordeaux tasting and the best chance to taste the new 2010 vintage before the en primeur campaign.

Over 90 Top Chateaux Attending

We have over 90 chateaux attending and the list includes Angelus, Figeac, Gazin, Haut Bailly, La Conseillante, Lynch Bages, Leoville Barton, Leoville Las Cases, Montrose, Pichon-Longueville Baron, Troplong Mondot and Suduiraut. Once again we will be asking every chateau to bring with them both their 2010 vintage and an older wine.

Taste the excellent 2010 vintage

After the hype of the 2009 vintage, expectations concerning the 2010s are already beginning to build. Writing on his website, James Suckling has already declared that "No one in his or her sound mind could say that 2010 is not an excellent vintage for Bordeaux."

An advance Bibendum tasting team was out in Bordeaux in February and tasted a number of 2010s. Our initial impressions were that 2010 is a very, very good vintage, albeit more traditional and less flashy in style than 2009.
