Gravel & Gold | Drop In Class

  • The Oenophile Institute 1295 W Spring St Smyrna, GA, 30080 United States (map)

This class is Perfect for Bordeaux lovers, collectors, and students who want to dig deeper into one of the region’s most dynamic — and overlooked — appellations.

Often overshadowed by the Médoc or Right Bank giants, the wines of Graves and Pessac-Léognan deliver elegance, complexity, and age-worthy structure — with none of the hype (yet).

In this insider tasting, we’ll explore four expressions from Grand Cru Classé producers: a vibrant Blanc, a structured Rouge, and two sweet wines from Barsac and Sauternes that prove Bordeaux’s golden age isn’t over. Along the way, we’ll discuss the region’s unique terroir, how it bridges the old and the new, and why the best bottles here remain some of the most compelling values in fine wine.
