The event drew big names like Napa Valley winemaker Aaron Pott, Master Sommelier Tim Gaiser, (both featured in this wine video) and some of the most well respected wine contributors in the country.
The verdict is in and despite wacky weather, the 2009 and 2010 vintages in Saint-Émilion promise to be Right Bank Bordeaux classics. If you ever get a chance to travel to Saint-Émilion you will find the medieval town is as enchanting as the wines they produce. In this video, you will hear from the President of the Association of Grands Crus Classés of Saint-Emilion, beloved and well respected winemaker Aaron Pott, as well as get a taste of the elegant, pleasurable, and seductive wines of Saint-Emilion!
