Wine Expert Explains… Pauillac in 5 Minutes

Today I want to start with you a new video series called, Wine in 5, or 5 things you need to know about all the top wine appellations around the world, 5 things you possibly didn’t know about them, in ABOUT 5 minutes (if you exclude the intro AND the outro). Today we’re looking at one of the top village appellations in the Bordeaux region of France, the one that counts with the most prestigious Chateaux, Pauillac. At the end of the video, I’ll reveal which are the most expensive and BEST wines from Pauillac that you should probably try, and we’ll score Pauillac as a wine appellation to see how it ranks compared to others in our new Bonner Private Wines Appellation Leaderboard. They whine, we wine...

Is there any flexibility on the 1855 classification system as for example Chateau Lynch-Bages stuck at 5th Growth has a better reputation now than where it was originally classified?

hi there, I talked about the 1855 classification in a video on my channel a little while back (it nevers gets old ;), and I think I do cover this point a little bit there th-cam.com/video/36dcmiNiVZc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MsSMOxpjUEHDuOQ1

Who cares about US wines?
Wannabees ... with crazy prices.

[@ahoang9069]

The culture with the boomer generation living in USA is if it costs more ... then it must be better (and I'll take two).
That's how some Napa wine makers market their grape juice ...

I'm always surprised at wine prices in the US, with $50 you start getting a really solid Bordeaux wine for example, or say European that will age for a very long time and with great finesse, while in the US and a US wine, $50 won't really get you anything that outstanding. I guess the US has way more wine consumers than wine producers, while countries like France or Italy produce huge amounts of vino that even they can't drink all so they have to export at a competitive price :) Cheers!

@@TH-camJulien Hi Julien, you're doing a great job. Merci !
Bordeaux (left and right bank) wines are my favorite.
If you spend just a bit over 50€, you can get a very good representation of Margaux, Pauillac, Saint Julien, Saint Estephe and Pomerol (30-50€ some very good wines as well).
To me.., Saint Emilion is the best value for money in Bordeaux (even for less than 40 bucks you have solid wines over there).
... and this are only parts of Bordeaux.., than we have all the other regions in France...
Italy and Spain are producing plenty of great value wines for under 50€.
Actually in Europe you can get plenty of very good wines at around 30€ and less.
Not to forget the unique Musar of Libanon costs less than 50€.
Soo..., enjoy your AMAZING wines made in the USA my American friends (a cheap Mexican labor is still keeping the prices down 🤭😂).
To your health Julien!
I hope you're doing well.
