Tasting Room: 1st Growth Bordeaux

With Justin Martindale MW
Monday Mar 10 2025

Summary

In this month's Icon Wine Tasting, we're focussed on Left Bank Bordeaux, which of course means taking a look at 1st growth Bordeaux. These wines have been the undisupted champions of the region since long before they were officially classified in 1855, but in the modern landscape of amazing wines from around the world, how good actually are they? Are they still worthy of their place at the top of the table, and more importantly, their astronomical pricetags? In this video, Justin Martindale MW, our Membership Manager and award-winning Master of Wine tastes one to find out.
