Hanger 14 En Primeur Bordeaux Tasting
Hangar 14
Recently I had the pleasure of attending the Bordeaux En Primeur trade tastings at Hangar 14.
This is a soaring, light-filled space with panoramic views of the Garonne River that beautifully framed our visit.
The morning event was impeccably organized, with clearly marked appellations overhead and ample space to walk the aisles. The small tables spread about the room were much appreciated for notetaking.
Union Des Grands Crus producers across every region were present to pour wine and answer questions from the international press and trade.
At the Bordeaux En Primeur tasting at Hangar 14, each visit to each booth offered a rare glimpse into the human stories behind the vintage and the people behind the great Bordeaux châteaux.
