Bordeaux Deep Dive: The Left Bank, Thursday 10th September 2026

This tutorial is ideal for those looking to deepen their understanding of Bordeaux and its celebrated Left Bank appellations. Stretching from Margaux to St Estèphe, these historic communes produce some of France's greatest red wines - bottles as majestic and enduring as the châteaux from which they come. The evening begins with a comparative tasting of outstanding wines from each commune, revealing the subtle distinctions of their terroirs and styles. From there, we explore the remarkable complexity that comes with age through two legendary Super Seconds, Ch. Palmer and Ch. Léoville Las Cases, estates long regarded as worthy challengers to the First Growths. The evening culminates with a rare opportunity to taste two First Growth wines, Ch. Lafite Rothschild and Ch. Haut-Brion, with more than three decades of bottle age. We hope you can join us for an evening celebrating the majesty, power, and timeless elegance of the noble wines of Bordeaux's Left Bank.
