The 1855 Claret Luncheon, Wednesday 12th August 2009
(code: TAS867)
The 1855 Classification is the most famous and influential wine classification
in existence. It was conceived, on the request of Napoleon III, for the 1855
Exposition Universelle in Paris. A list of the best wines was created, using a
system that was probably as good as any, namely the market price of the wines,
with the premier des premiers and most expensive being Ch. Lafite. It is
astonishing that what was meant as a snapshot of the châteaux of the
Médoc has remained sacrosanct ever since. Lance Jefferson has chosen
some of the finest and most interesting examples of Cru Classé wines for
you to experience over a sublime, leisurely lunch.
