What is your favorite Bordeaux estate?

You can only pick one.

If you qualify it in any way I will delete your response.
You can only name the estate, without comment.

Mine:

Chateau Calon Segur

Jim,

are you asking the favorite chateau now, or in the past, or overall through the entire time of your bordeaux experience?

Chateau d'Issan

Whatever criteria you want, CV, the only requirement is you can’t elaborate, you can just name your choice. I love the choices so far, they are obviously thoughtful.

This was on my short list, but I won't explain why or why it didn't make the final cut..

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Sat Apr 30, 2022 1:24 am

We can discuss when all the picks are in. But I certainly have no qualms about a d'Issan pick, or Giscours, or any of the picks so far!

Pichon Lalande

Interesting, all 6 of my potential options that I narrowed down from have been listed finally. It will be fun to see people's logic. I think this may spur some sub threads with more specified parameters. Good exercise, Jim!

Magdelaine a close runner up?

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Sat Apr 30, 2022 9:13 pm

No qualifications!!!!! The reason why this thread is successful is because people are adhering to my edict. Give me the name of your favorite estate, no commentary. Every one of these has been a wonderful pick.

Magdelaine is not an estate. I wish it were.
