France vertical tasting 2005

This was the theme of last month's PWC tasting in which we had nine wines from that vintage (+ a non-vintage champagne for welcome drink). Apart from a relatively unfamiliar 2nd growth Sauternes (Ch Romer du Hayot), they rest fell neatly into four groups of two: two Burgundies, two Rhones and two each from left and right bank.

The Burgundies a Chablis and a Beane 1er Cru Greves, whilst there was a Chateauneuf and a Cote-Rotie from the Rhone. The left bank was represented by Reserve de Leoville Barton from St Julien and Ch Calon-Segur from St Estephe, whilst the right bank fielded Ch Beau Sejour Becot and Latour a Pomerol.
