Deep Dive Bordeaux: Left bank vs. right bank
Hosted by Jane Anson & Richard Bampfield MW
There are several important differences between the left bank and the right bank, with variances in terroir, taste, and ageing. However, in this episode of Deep Dive Bordeaux, we pose the question: are there similarities that wine lovers may not have been made aware of? Our authoritative host and Bordeaux expert Jane Anson guides us through the wines of these stunning wine-making areas. Together we taste a horizontal of the 2005 vintage, in a comprehensive and illuminating comparison of Left Bank versus Right Bank.
