Did you know that the Bordeaux En-Primeur tastings are happening this week?! Wine importers, journalists, hospitality professionals, and winemakers from all around the world 
have traveled to the vineyards of Bordeaux, France 
this week to attend one of the greatest events in the industry - the Bordeaux 2022 En Primeur Week. 
We also made sure to attend the event, and are so happy to share with you a selection of the best moments we had in the region! 
The past few days have been quite action-packed - we enjoyed picturesque views, met lovely wine enthusiasts and professionals, and (of course!) tasted INCREDIBLE wine and food 
from the châteaus we visited, including 
Château Gruaud Larose @gruaud_larose, Château Rieussec @chateau.rieussec, Château Citran @chateau_citran, and Château Giscours @chateaugiscours.
About the event:
The Bordeaux En-Primeur Week traditionally takes place every spring and welcomes thousands of people who taste wines that have been harvested the previous autumn. 
Over the week, critics give their score on each wine, which determines the prices 
set by each château. Afterwards, at the beginning of the summer, these prices are released and buyers can pre-book particular wines while they are still in the barrels.
Finally, the wines are shipped to the buyers between 18 months and 3 years 
after bottling.
Getting familiar with the event (either by attending it, or by reading more about the outcomes of it every year) is a great way to sparkle your enthusiasm 
and deepen your understanding of the wine industry. This is why we highly recommend you doing so!
