Bordeaux 2019 by appellation: Pessac-Leognan and other (Reds)
Abstract
Pessac-Leognan is a large and diverse appellation producing significant quantities of high quality wine, typically at very affordable prices. With reductions in price relative to the 2018s of around 20-30% (a little less for the cheaper wines), en primeur 2019 presents an opportunity to pick up some excellent wines with ageing potential that will drink well relatively young – while they remain at their cheapest price point. Indeed, there is an embarrassment of riches here, writes Colin Hay.
