In this special On the Road Edition, Stevie Kim is back in Bordeaux for the final instalment of this series exploring the world famous French region with one of the greatest experts in the field, Bernard Burtschy.
Over 4 days Stevie has been in Bordeaux’s famous Left Bank visiting some for the region’s greatest châteaux.
This final episode focuses on Sauternes, which represents the sweeter side of Bordeaux and is made with the region’s less common white grapes, with a particular focus on the 2022 vintage.
Monsieur Burtschy guides Stevie on a journey through four important châteaux, Château d’Yquem, Château Suduiraut, Château Climens and Château Doisy-Védrines, setting out the climatic conditions, soil types and historical development of these iconic producers.
With special thanks to Bernard Burtschy and 1855 Bordeaux Classification.
