Online: Fine Wine - Discovering South-West France with West London Wine School
Friday 12 March 2021
,
Join wine school founder Jimmy Smith online as he explores one of the least-known parts of France, the south-west.
Jimmy has hand-picked six world-class wines to showcase the least populated part of France which stretches from Bordeaux to the Pyrenees. Two mature and wonderful wines, Madiran and Cahors, are to be enjoyed to show off the exceptional ageing capability of the Tannat and Malbec grape varieites respectively. Also included is a gorgeous fresh Gaillac, and spicy and peppery Marcillac, a complex and layered Buzet and and rounded and quite lovely Irouleguy.
Tasting Date: Friday 12th March 2021 at 7:00pm (the tasting will last approximately 1.5 - 2 hours)
