As MP says, easy peasy! The education continues though: I appreciated the “A” and the “B” St Emilion hierarchy. But best of all: the “well, not really” look followed by the aggressive swirl! 😂. Love it, keep ‘em coming! 🍷

Easy one today! Sometimes humble St. Emilion Grand Crus outperform their classification. And some great St. Emilions (ex. Ch. Tertre-Roteboeuf) aren't classified at all.

Great mention!!

I looked at Madeline's tasting notebook for tasting note descriptors and I noticed that the origin and cultivars weren't blacked out as they usually are. So I knew it was a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru from the get go, ha! It's a great classic cuvee that never gets boring and always delivers; I generally prefer Saint-Emilion and it's surrounding appellations to Left Bank as I prefer Merlot and Cabernet Franc blends. Cheers and a fun video!
