Bordeaux Wines
The top group of chateaux consisted originally of four properties (Chateau Lafite, Chateau Latour, Chateau Margaux, Chateau Haut Brion). In 1970’s a fifth was added by promoting Chateau Mouton Rothschild from the top of the second growth to the first.
The 1855 classification also included the sweet wines of Sauternes.
Classified Bordeaux wines can be appreciated with food, or without to contemplate their organoleptic qualities, but there are no requirements to follow widespread practice.
You can sip fine Bordeaux while playing casino games at home or any other type of on-line entertainment. However, you must be careful with the quantity of consumption. Never overindulge.
The best way to enjoy fine red Bordeaux, is to select a clear glass with a large bowl and wide mouth, and fill it only one third of its capacity. Make sure the temperature is 16 – 18 C (65 – 68 F) to appreciate all its aroma and flavour.
