The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com): 96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume. 90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines. 80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws. 70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine. 60 - 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors. 50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable. It is one of the most famous wine-growing regions and its wines have been copied around the world. Bordeaux was one of the first places I studied as a young Sommelier and back then the Classification systems of the region helped me make sense of it. In particular, the Classification of 1855 was a key to the success of Bordeaux wines, as its five levels made it easier for consumers to decide which wines to buy. It was drawn up for the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1855. The Bordeaux Brokers categorized the 60 leading Chateauxs in the Medoc including one producer from Graves and the sweet wine producers from Barsac or Sauternes. The rating was based on the market prices the producers fetched and there were only two major changes to the List: Cantemerle was added in 1856 and Mouton Rothschild was upgraded from 2nd to 1st Growth level in 1973. No new wineries were added since, and the 1855 classification was never updated but of course, much has changed in Bordeaux over the centuries. In a way the power of the classification system is that it is a self-fulfilling prophecy as the wineries on the list gained in reputation and were, therefore, able to charge more for their wines, generating income that they could reinvest into their winemaking, increasing the quality of their production. Many argue that it is time to revisit the ranking and today I want to check whether “lesser” wineries from Bordeaux can play in the same league as the classed Growths. I am going to blind-taste Leon’s selection of wines from Bordeaux. One of them is a Grand Cru Classé from the 1855 Classification and the others are much cheaper alternatives either non-classified or classified in other classifications.
