    Get ahead!

    Dear all

    For four years, we’ve invited you to taste an exclusive selection of crus from Bordeaux and elsewhere that reignite our love for wine, and we’re very pleased to bring you this new edition. It’s structured around you, visitors, to take you closer than ever to the latest developments in Bordeaux wines with exclusive insight into the estates’ growing quality and to access privileged information on the qualitative evolution of the properties and to get ahead on the market.
    We look forward to your presence and hope you have a pleasant time enjoying the quality of the wines present and the exchanges with the owners.

    Welcome to this fourth edition!

    Jean-Marc Quarin & Fabrice Léger

    The event’s strengths

    Benefit from privileged information.
    A unique opportunity to come and discover, even before the enthusiasm of the “market” for a particular vintage or cru, a selection of thirty properties from Bordeaux and elsewhere in two great vintages among 2020, 2021 and 2022, plus an older favorite vintage, in each property

    Simple understanding of winemaking
    The event takes visitors along a meticulously planned tasting journey. Everyone leaves with a simple understanding of Bordeaux winemaking and the qualitative endeavours of selected crus. To facilitate the discovery of red wines, for example, crus from the right banks of the Garonne and Gironde are distinguished from the left banks. After all, there aren’t thirty different taste families in Bordeaux, like the thirty existing AOC red wines might suggest, but two flavour profiles depending on whether the cru is on the left or right bank.

    Confirm your own taste
    Are you more right or left bank? The journey of discovery presents the wines as enthusiasts would if they served them at home, with no concern for masking one with another. The selection of wines is so qualitative that it enables everyone to confirm their unapologetic preference for either bank.

    Benefit from exclusive discussions
    Interact with the owners and technical managers of every label taking part in the event.

    "An Outsider is a wine, whose taste is better than the label would lead us to believe”.
    Jean-Marc Quarin, Independent reviewer of Bordeaux wines - www.quarin.com
