It has no classification, Pomerol famously refuses to rank its wines. It's made from Merlot, the grape wine snobs love to mock. And yet a single bottle routinely costs thousands of euros, making it one of the most expensive wines on Earth. This is the full story: the Roman-named vineyard, the formidable widow in legendary hats who simply decided her wine deserved First Growth prices, the partnership that conquered America (and the Kennedy White House), the catastrophic 1956 frost and the gamble that saved the vines, the secret buttonhole of 40-million-year-old blue clay, and the bottle that spent 14 months in space.Watch the Bordeaux classifications video: https://youtu.be/AbhZdnAoFHkWatch the Saint-Emilion video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xktAzbt2Ms▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📚CHAPTERS 📚 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬00:00 Introduction 01:09 Quick settings about Pétrus02:21 The birth of Pétrus03:47 Madame Loubat, the widow who believed in Pétrus 06:23 The great age of Pétrus 08:06 The 1956 frost that almost killed Pétrus10:03 The soil of Pétrus 12:42 How Pétrus is actually made14:19 Space bottles & Billionaires, Pétrus today15:27 Why Pétrus really matters? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⭐️ ABOUT ⭐️ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬My name is Antoine, and I’ve been passionate about wine for several years.

It's also home to the most dramatic story in modern wine: a classification system so contested that three of its four top estates quit in protest. In this video: the full history (Romans, the hermit, the monks), the limestone terroir, the Merlot–Cabernet Franc wines, the famously confusing "Grand Cru vs Grand Cru Classé" problem, the garage wine revolution, the satellite appellations for value, and the 2022 classification meltdown, explained.Watch the Bordeaux classifications video: ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📚CHAPTERS 📚 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬00:00 Introduction 01:18 Orientation on Saint-Émilion02:43 History of wines in Saint-Émilion05:38 Limestone: the terroir of Saint-Émilion 07:33 Merlot and Cabernet Franc: kings of Saint-Émilion09:59 Grand cru de Saint-Émilion vs Grand Cru Classé11:15 The Classification of Saint-Émilion12:32 The year that blew up the Saint-Émilion Classification15:34 The garage wine revolution17:13 Saint-Émilion satellites 18:23 Buying guide to Saint-Émilion wines▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⭐️ ABOUT ⭐️ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬My name is Antoine, and I’ve been passionate about wine for several years.

What does it take to inherit one of Southwest France's most respected wine names, and then dare to change it? We caught Antoine Veiry on the last afternoon of VINEXPO Hong Kong, booths coming down all around us, to find out.Antoine runs Château Montus and Château Bouscassé in Madiran, the two estates his mother and his stepfather, Alain Brumont, built from a nearly anonymous family vineyard into one of the region's best-known names. He walks us through learning the trade from Anselme Selosse in Champagne and Guigal in the Rhône, the day he decided to start acting like he was already in charge, and why he now chases 13.5% alcohol instead of the 15% wines his parents once made.Expect a crash course in Tannat, Petit Courbu and Manseng; a right bank and left bank comparison you have never heard applied to the foothills of the Pyrenees; a blind tasting of Château Figeac 1985; and a patient bet on vineyard land nobody has planted yet.

What makes the son of one of Burgundy's best-known wine families walk away from the cellar to chase gin, vodka and liqueurs instead? We drove to Meursault, vineyards on every side, to sit down with Maxime Girardin and find out why he bet on spirits.Maxime runs Pegasus, the distillery he built from scratch after a decade abroad in finance and trading. He walks us through the six-litre still in his parents' garage, the Dutch technology that lets him scale without babysitting a boiler, and the reason the base spirit, the part most distillers ignore, decides everything.Expect back-to-basics thinking, an obsession over organic wheat and Menton citrus, a clear read on why premium spirits keep growing while wine talks crisis, and a pilot's licence earned before a driving one.

What does it take to run the wine programme for eight restaurants inside one of Hong Kong's most storied hotel groups, and how do you earn a guest's trust for a US$600 pour of 1975 Petrus? We sat down inside Petrus itself, the flagship restaurant at Island Shangri-La Hong Kong, high above Pacific Place at the heart of the city's energy, to find out.We're joined by Cyrus Ho, hotel sommelier for the Shangri-La Group in Hong Kong, who oversees the wine programme across all eight of the group's restaurants, from Cantonese fine dining to Japanese, French and everything in between.Cyrus walks us through the week he spent doing nothing but refilling water glasses under his mentor's watch, the vintage mix-up that taught him never to skip showing a label, and the six-hour mountain drive into Yunnan that convinced him Chinese Chardonnay deserves serious attention.Expect back-vintage Petrus by the glass, a side career as a certified tea master, and a clear-eyed read on why the next generation isn't reaching for wine.
