1989 Bordeaux Tasting (illustrating the 1855 classification)
Price: CI$160
Date: 7 May 2025
Time: 6:15 PM
Where: Mykonos Restaurant at The Grove
Dress Code: Smart Casual
The 1855 Bordeaux classification divided 61 red wine estates into 5 “crus” or “growths” based on their reputation and selling price at the time. Many critics, including Robert Parker and Clive Coates, have offered their own updated version of the classification to reflect the massive changes since 1855, but famously (or maybe infamously) it has undergone only one significant adjustment which was in 1973 when Mouton Rothschild was made a first growth. Using the excellent 1989 vintage, we will sample one wine from each of the 5 categories, tasting them blind so quality can be assessed without the prejudice of knowing which category each wine belongs to. The wines will be:
- 1989 Chateau Beychevelle
- 1989 Chateau Gruaud-Larose (or 1989 Chateau Montrose)
- 1989 Chateau Latour
- 1989 Chateau Lynch-Bages
- 1989 Chateau Palmer
Attendance is initially limited to 16 members after which a waiting list will be started (Guests can request to be added to the waiting list). If there are 16 people on the waiting list, the tasting will be run with 32 attendees.
