Final of Appellation Pauillac 2008

This final took place on July 9, 2022 at Pascale and Luc’s house and here is the list of wines that were presented:

  • Clerc Milon
  • Haut-Bages Libéral
  • Haut-Batailley
  • Lynch Bages
  • Pichon Baron
  • Grand Puy Lacoste
  • Duhart Milon
  • Pontet Canet

Unfortunately, Pichon Comtesse could not be supplied in time for this vintage and it is Grand Puy Lacoste, one of the best “second knives” of the appellation, which imposes itself in strength and balance in front of a trio composed of Haut-Bages Libéral, Clerc Milon and Pichon Baron. Haut-Bages Libéral stands out with its citrus aromas and its very “Margalais” charm. In the tasting, Pichon Baron certainly has the greatest potential for aging.

Here are the results:
