Christmas Bordeaux Bonanza – A tasting of Cru Bourgeois Wines at The Maldron

Manchester Wine School host a wine tasting of the Cry Bourgeous Wines this festive season. The Crus Bourgeois are a family of châteaux located in eight famous red wine districts on what is known as the Left Bank of Bordeaux: Médoc, Haut-Médoc, Listrac-Médoc, Moulis-en-Médoc, Margaux, Pauillac, Saint-Julien, and Saint Estèphe. This is the part of Bordeaux where Cabernet Sauvignon performs at its best, although most of the wines also include Merlot, Cabernet Franc and occasionally other grapes. Guests can enjoy at least eight of the wines, including examples from Margaux, Listrac, Moulis and St Estèphe. There’ll also be some fine cheddar and charcuterie as accompaniment.
