New Era and Old Tradition
Available spots
Service Description
The Concept Bordeaux is one of the world's most recognised wine names — and one of the most misunderstood. This chapter offers a focused introduction to the region, designed for collectors and wine lovers seeking a solid foundation before the full experience. Paired with light bites rather than a full menu, this session is intentionally structured as a prelude to our Premium Bordeaux Dinner in November — building anticipation rather than replicating it. The focus is on understanding two defining faces of Bordeaux, with an emphasis on red wines: the Left Bank and the Right Bank. Guests explore how terroir shapes the character of Bordeaux's two signature grapes — Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot — laying the groundwork to fully appreciate the dinner to come. The Wines A Left Bank versus Right Bank comparison, tracing how terroir and grape expression diverge across the two banks of the Gironde. The Format A guided tasting opening with a white Entre-Deux-Mers alongside oysters, moving into the Left Bank versus Right Bank comparison. Light bites accompany the wines — vol-au-vent, beef stew, and Lamproie à la Bordelaise. Learning Objective: Discover the diversity of Bordeaux through the lens of Left Bank versus Right Bank terroir, and understand how each expresses itself through its dominant grape variety. The Details Format: Seated guided tasting with comparative pairing Wines: 12 wines afrom Left and Right banks Food: 6 small bites; interpretations of regional dishes Duration: Approximately 2.5 – 3 hours Level: Accessible to intermediate Language: English Hosted by: - Tony Lécuroux, Master Sommelier & Lilla Fülöp, Certified Educator
