Graves & Barsac Winemaker MasterClass feat. Benjamin Gutman
Join us for an evening exploring two of Bordeaux’s most compelling and often underappreciated appellations: Graves and Barsac.
With their gravelly soils, maritime influence, and remarkable ability to produce both mineral driven and expressive whites, beautifully structured reds and hauntingly complex sweet wines, Graves and Barsac offer a fascinating window into the diversity of Bordeaux. From the savory, mineral-driven character of classic Graves to the honeyed richness and vibrant acidity of Barsac, these are wines where terroir takes center stage.
Leading us through the evening is winemaker Benjamin Gutman, who will take us beyond the labels and into the vineyards, exploring the history, soils, producers, grapes, and distinctive styles that define these two appellations. We’ll taste a selection of wines that showcase the breadth of the region—from elegant, age-worthy reds to the extraordinary balance and longevity of Bordeaux’s noble sweet wines.
If you think you know Bordeaux, this is your invitation to look a little closer at Graves and Barsac.
