It had a light, fruity bouquet with a nice finish. But there are better in this price range. (892 views) | | | Tasted by LarryEsh on 6/25/2014 & rated 91 points: Had this and others at the Vineyard with the lovely ladies who run it. Three generations (famille Leveque) handled our group of 30, providing great wines and a variety of food with graceful service in a lovely setting.
Clean, fruitty and balanced. A taste of heaven! (2411 views) | | | Tasted by Orlandus on 3/12/2013 & rated 89 points: Light, fresh and pleasant enough on opening but not distinctive. After a few days in the fridge it developed nicely into a very satisfying, even moderately complex wine of character that I would consider trying again. (3138 views) | | | Tasted by DonalOB on 2/28/2013 & rated 87 points: Grande Bordeaux Tasting, 2010 (Grand Hyatt Hong Kong): Lots of gooseberry. Some smoke. lots of oak on palate. Not to my taste. (4098 views) | | | Tasted by lumpyelbow on 1/25/2013: Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux 2010 (Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Toronto, ON): Firm, good tannin. Other incomprehensible things written I can't decipher... (4495 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 1/18/2013 & rated 91 points: 2010 Bordeaux at 2012 Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux Tasting (Palace Hotel, San Francisco, California): Light lemon yellow color; floral, honeysuckle, ripe citrus nose; floral, honeysuckle, ripe citrus palate; medium-plus finish (2886 views) | | | Tasted by CRHunter on 12/30/2012 & rated 82 points: - Yellow color and aromas of lemon and has flavours of peach - Not much nose. Taste pleasant but thin. Easy drinking but not a star, yet at least. (2602 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 7/26/2012: Fresh yet big, and served warm, cat pee Graves Blanc. (1715 views) | | | Tasted by wino_tim on 3/12/2012 & rated 85 points: Forward with a vaguely California-like feel to its melon and Meyer lemon flavors. Light+ to medium- body. (1364 views) |

History of Bordeaux
History of 1855 Bordeaux Classification
"2009 is all about ripeness, with wines impressively packed with ripe fruit and high alcohol levels. They are showy, in-your-face, and full of pleasure. The 2010s have the fruit and alcohol levels of the 2009s, but with a compelling freshness on the finish that balances the fruit and provides a perfect sense of structure." - Ben Nelson
"2016 is a landmark vintage in certain spots of Bordeaux and it should be remembered as one of the most inspired campaigns of the last 40-50+ years." -Jon Rimmerman
"The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded – although the response to the en primeur campaign was muted. Quantity was high too, with the equivalent of 770 million bottles of wine produced. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes, and the wines are marked by high tannin and acidity, with superb aromatic fragrance." - Jancis Robinson
"2017 was complicated, but there are some excellent wines. Expect plenty of freshness and drinkability from wines that will offer excellent value, and others that will rival 2016 in terms of ripeness and ageability. But they are likely to be the exception not the rule, making careful selection key." - Jane Anson
"In the past, a vintage such as 2022 may have been overripe, raisined and low in acidity but 2022 had a sneaky little reservoir in its back pocket - a near perfect marriage of cool/cold/rain the previous winter and the previous vintage that literally soaked the soils (a key to why 2022 is not 2003...or 1893)." - Jon RimmermanGraves Vins de Graves (Conseil des Vins de Graves) - Read more about Pessac Leogan Graves and its wines |
