| BORDEAUX BLISS 2019 VINTAGE RELEASE |
Bordeaux Sweet Wines Weather conditions delayed the onset of Botrytis. However, when Botrytis did take effect, the grapes on the vine were already concentrated, amplifying the sweet flavours in the resulting wines. 2019 has produced stickies that are more approachable and require less aging. Carpe diem! This vintage, Sauternes are liquid gold, with abundant fruit and racy acidity. Looking beyond dessert, these wines can be served with foie gras or ripe blue cheese for pre-dinner nibbles, or an amuse-bouche course as well. All in all, critics have praised Bordeaux’s 2019 vintage effusively, suggesting consumers can find “very good” to “great” wines that are both, ready to enjoy now, as well as cellar-worthy treasures. According to Barbara Philip, “It is an excellent vintage with very good wines across all appellations. The best will develop more complexity with a decade in the cellar.” So, whether you’re a seasoned collector, or a new subscriber, don’t miss out on the 2019 Bordeaux Release, November 19.
