Manchester - Bordeaux Growers - walkaround tasting
Whether your loyalties lie with the left or right bank, with over 30 wines to sample from crisp whites and classy Clarets to delicious, sweet Sauternes you’ll find plenty to delight at this Bordeaux walkaround tasting.
‘Bordeaux is the largest vineyard of fine wines in the world. It is a vast region with a great range of wines among the lesser-known appellations as well as among the crus classés. The diversity in character and style is due to the varied soils and climate and to the care and ability of the people who make the wine.’
- Tim Sykes, Society buyer for Bordeaux
Whether your loyalties lie with the left or right bank, with over 30 wines to sample from crisp whites and classy Clarets to delicious, sweet Sauternes you’ll find plenty to delight at this Bordeaux walkaround tasting.
