> Campaign 2008

### Vintage rating: 15/20 ###

This is the most recent club’s tasting campaign. It took place between 2020 and 2023, given the health crisis we’ve been through.

We tested 86 Grands Crus Classé, through 101 bottles (including seven doubles and four triples) in ten tastings:

  • Eight Appellation Finals
  • Final B with the winners (and sometimes a few very deserving seconds) of the Appelation Finals
  • Final A with the first four of the final B as well as the eight super grands crus: Ausone, Cheval Blanc, Haut-Brion, Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Mouton Rothschild and Petrus

Here are the Appellation finals podium:
