I love a Bordeaux, and we only have two bottles left of a very special right-bank Bordeaux, the Lassègue Saint Émilion Grand Cru. Steeped in the history of Bordeaux and its classification system, which originates back to 1855 in the Médoc, the right bank was largely omitted from the rankings. Thus, in 1955, 100 years later, Saint Émilion crafted its own classification, overseen by the French National Institute of Appellations (INAO). The goal is to reclassify wineries every 10 years, but there has been some conflict and controversy since the rankings began. Most famously, Château Cheval Blanc which maintained a premier spot from 1955 until the 2021 vintage, chose to withdraw from the Saint Émilion classification in 2022. And as a complete aside, yes, it is a Cheval Blanc that Miles is imbibing out of a plastic cup at the end of Sideways (he is drinking some %$*!-ing Merlot!). Read more here...
