Visited 2 very different wineries on Sunday in Bordeaux- not many open on sundays but managed to get in to see Lynch-Bages in Pauillac and Château Maucaillou (Moulis-en-Médoc).
The L-B was what I have come to expect from the 04' vintage. The Moulis was elegant, had lifted fruit and was well integrated wine. Did not have the power of L-B but really enjoyable and far better value.
Drove the D2 to see all the mega brands along the water. You can see how they have the better location from the road- highest points in the commune, on gravel mini-hills for good drainage and a view of the water to regulate temperature.
