Bordeaux 1990s - Tasting box
Bordeaux through the 90s – three vintages, three appellations
Experience Bordeaux through an entire decade.
This tasting box brings together three wines from 1990, 1993 and 1998 and makes it possible to follow the development of Bordeaux through the 90s. At the same time, the wines come from different parts of the region, so the tasting is about vintage, age and terroir alike.
From Saint-Émilion via Médoc to Margaux, you get three different interpretations of classic Bordeaux – all with more than 25 years of development in the bottle.
The box contains:
Saint-Paul de Dominique 1990 – Saint-Émilion
The tasting begins on Bordeaux's Right Bank with a wine from Saint-Émilion.
Here Merlot traditionally plays a larger role, which often gives the wines a rounder and more fruit-driven expression than many wines from the Left Bank. After more than three decades of development in the bottle, the 1990 vintage has had plenty of time to develop classic mature nuances of dark fruits, spices, leather and forest floor.
Château Maison Blanche 1993 – Médoc Cru Bourgeois
Next we move to Médoc on the Left Bank.
Here Cabernet Sauvignon traditionally plays a larger role, and the wines are often associated with more structure, darker fruit and notes of cedar and tobacco. Château Maison Blanche 1993 therefore provides an exciting contrast to the box's Saint-Émilion.
Château Segonnes 1998 – Margaux
The tasting ends in Margaux with the box's youngest wine.
Margaux is known for an elegant and aromatic expression with more finesse and perfume than many of the other appellations on the Left Bank. The 1998 vintage therefore provides a natural conclusion to the tasting and shows a different side of Bordeaux than both Saint-Émilion and Médoc.
Three wines – eight years of Bordeaux history
What makes this box special is the opportunity both to follow Bordeaux through the 1990s and to compare three different areas.
Start on the Right Bank in Saint-Émilion, move on to Médoc and finish in Margaux. Along the way you can experience how vintage, grape composition, age and terroir all affect the wines.
An obvious tasting box for the Bordeaux enthusiast, for an evening with friends, or for you who would like to experience mature Bordeaux without going all the way back to the oldest vintages.
Only a limited number of boxes are available.

you your wine
Storage
Store the bottle horizontally at 12–14°C and avoid direct sunlight, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations.
Opening
Allow the bottle to stand upright for 24–48 hours before opening to allow sediment to settle. Use a professional corkscrew and open carefully.

Serve at 17–18°C and be patient – there is a great difference in how and how quickly wines open up when they are aerated.
