I taste with Lilian Barton, the first proprietor to realise that pouring your barrel samples while cradling a Border Collie pup automatically earns an extra 3 points. It is not without risk though - watch out for ear nibbles! #leovillebarton #langoabarton #stjulien #bdx24 #bdx2024 #bordeaux #wine

Great visit to Château Lagrange today; enjoyed mooching around the private cellar, poking my nose into some old bins. I love the old Lagrange labels; yes, that is the 1925 at the end. Also tasted some 17 vintages - will write up on Winedoctor. #lagrange #chateaulagrange #stjulien #bordeaux #wine

Always enjoy driving past this giant bottle in St Julien-Beychevelle, but today I rook a closer look. Fabricated in 1930, it is made entirely from metal, and used to be rolled out for carnivals before it was restored and installed at the roadside. #stjulien #thatsabigone
