I have not been to Bordeaux, which holds the top spot for appellations that I have not been to, but want to go. In fact, it looks like I might visit there this summer.
That noted, I would visit estates such as Marjosse (where Lurton lives), Potensac (perhaps the consistently greatest overachieving estate in all of Bordeaux), Macard, Lanessan, Liversan, Retout, and Senejac. Of lesser known Classed Growth Chateaux that consistently produce great wines, Cantemerle and La Tour Carnet. Also, most any estate in the Listrac-Medoc and Moulis-en-Medoc appellations, including Poujeaux and Chasse-Spleen.
Cheers!

Amazing bottle, that was silky and elegant. Dark blackberry notes, but not fruity. Over time, I believe this will be even better.

Bold and fruit forward. Nice pomegranate backdrop. Already a drink now, but easy to think it will be excellent in 5 years, also.
