John congratulations for the content, you should realy write an E-book with your expertise. 😊
Great list.
You know Bordeaux like the back of your hand, John! Such a treat to watch this video! Some of my favorite producers, for sure, and your overview on each of them is so insightful and so excellently presented—reflective of your expertise and experience when it comes to everything Bordeaux. I also appreciated your tasting notes as well as the back stories. Excited about the 2023 Chateau Pichon Lalande, Brane-Cantenac, Giscours, Beau-Sejour Becot, Domaine de Chevalier, Phelan Segur, and Laroque—okay, every single one of them!😅 Thank you for making this video! It’s incredibly impressive! Such a valuable reference and guide for all Bordeaux enthusiasts and collectors. It’s absolutely the most authoritative Bordeaux 2023 guide—but I can say that for all your other Bordeaux videos as well! I can’t wait to revisit my favorite wine region (tied with Rhône!😁)! Cheers, John!
Thank you so much for the pin, John. Sincerely appreciated!
This is fantastic. Very informative. I always look forward to your videos.
Great video as always John. Big fan of most these wine myself. Always appreciate your insight and the way you provide brief back story of each winery. I have started collecting for about 2 years and as we drink more we now know we prefer aged wine. The problem i have now is my 260 btl fridge is 90% 2015 or younger. I m planning to buy more 2000ish (didnt know pre arrival existed before) vintage for immediate or near term consumption. That, plus additional current vintage for long term. I m deciding between getting another fridge and keep everything at home, or offsite storage where i ll store younger wines there. Another fridge is probably more convenient for me but i m afraid i ll run into the same issue again later on. I m 48 so pretty long runway. Any suggestion from your experience is appreciated.
Also if you dont mind me asking. Did you run into the same scenario, ie if your home cellar is full, and you always want to buy more wine 😁, what would you do.
Always great content John! May I add one suggestion: would it be possible to add chapters to your vids?
Thanks, John. As I think I mentioned on your first 2023 video, it is purely of academic interest to me – but of interest nonetheless. I made the decision that 2020 would be my last claret en primeur vintage but 2022 was so universally praised that I relented and bought a couple of right bank half-cases.
For current drinking, I have just taken delivery of half cases of Angludet, 2014 and Puy Blanquet, 2015 from my stocks. These will sit alongside other, mainly CB, 2014s and 2010 Pomerols for current drinking. Special occasion Bordeaux include, Durfort Vivens, 2005 and Branaire-Ducru, 2005. I don't think I will be running short of drinkable claret anytime soon!
Another great video, thanks John. Happy to see that I bought a few months ago two cases of wines that you recommend! What did you buy yourself en primeur this year ?
Great list John ! I certainly jumped in and bought a case of Paviemac , a few bottles of Rauzan Segla, and 6 bottles of La Conseillante. I have so many Laroque from 2018 and 19 vintages that I just dont know if I should load up from 2023. Have a great week ahead!
John- I’m still learning about terminology. Can you perhaps clarify about the usage of the preposition “to” when you say the “vineyard is planted TO 50% merlot….” Why don’t you say, “with” instead? I noticed you say that a lot.
I just love Brane Cantenac 😉
I agree with Mr. Attorney Somm, all of the wines that he is recommending are exceptional in quality and are available at affordable prices. Mr. Jackson is a true champion of Bordeaux wine! My personal cellar is and will continue to be getting many of his excellent recommendations.
Montrose and Cos always go toe to toe with the big boys when value is considered
You must have pissed off the YouTube algorithm somehow, it has been forever since I was recommended one of your videos.
I belived that the 2022 bordeux was better than the 2023(yes…) In norway you can buy both …(for a cheaper price than Cosco!)
Thank you!
