Great video, once again. I second your interest in La Grange and Talbot. Prices on those two wines are reasonable compared to many others. Also, nice touch mentioning the very sad passing of Josh Raynolds. I enjoyed his work for many years.
Of course the Mouton was elevated to First Growth status decades ago. The Leoville Las Cases may be the best 2nd Growth IMO. Montrose is the best value right now and the Baron, and Leoville Barton given the quality. I only paid $109 for the Leoville Barton futures and $139 for the Baron. BTW, I wrote this before watching the video. The place when I have been buying wine has the 2016 Cantemerle for $35 a bottle! I also love the Meyney for the $$$.
Always thought Troplong Mondot was over extracted and lacked charm but since 2012 they have changed vinification methods and the wines have better balance with much more complexity. The 2005, 2009 and 2010 were highly rated but I felt they were too alcoholic and had stewed fruit but since 2012 they are producing more balanced and complex wines.
I really love this video. So helpful. Would you consider doing a video for best right bank producers today, as well?
excellent commentary! I’ve been enjoying your channel.

Thank you for a well structured and informative video. Glad I found your channel recently and have subscribed.
Chateau Pédesclaux has been really killing it since the new owner took over.
Great. How about the Super Seconds?
