This provides a rare opportunity to compare how geography, grape composition, and local traditions are expressed when the vintage is the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Côtes de Francs via Saint-Émilion to Pauillac, the tasting moves through three different Bordeaux terroirs and more than 35 years of development in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe case contains:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChâteau Francs la Comtesse 1989 – Côtes de Francs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tasting begins on Bordeaux’s right bank. Côtes de Francs is a lesser-known area than its neighbors Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, but is built on many of the same classic Bordeaux traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter more than three decades in bottle, here you get a mature expression of Bordeaux with developed notes of dark berries, spices, leather, and earthy nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChâteau Fonroque 1989 – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe next stop is Saint-Émilion and Château Fonroque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere we move into one of Bordeaux’s most famous areas on the right bank. Saint-Émilion is particularly associated with Merlot and Cabernet Franc and therefore provides an exciting point of contrast to the case’s Pauillac wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1989 vintage has now had more than 35 years to develop and shows the mature, complex side of classic Saint-Émilion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHaut-Bages Averous 1989 – Pauillac\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tasting concludes on Bordeaux’s left bank in Pauillac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePauillac is home to some of the world’s most famous Bordeaux wines and is particularly associated with Cabernet Sauvignon, structure, and long life.
