Cheers! from the Duke of Bourbon
Master of Wine Jancis Robinson (pictured, right) is considered one of the finest wine critics in the world. She is based in London. She has authored the Oxford Companion to Wine and, with Hugh Johnson, the 5th Edition of The World Atlas of Wine. She is also the lead wine correspondent of the London-based Financial Times.
In a recent edition of the Financial Times, Jancis wrote this glowing review of Les Tourelles de Longueville 2001, the second wine from Chateau Pichon-Longueville-Baron:
"As far as wine is concerned, I am perhaps excessively fastidious. I think I probably end up recommending fewer than one wine in every 30 or more that I taste. So the following selection really does represent enthusiasm on my part rather than mild approval . . . . This second wine is from a . . . classical estate, the flagship of AXA's wine empire about which I wrote recently. This is drinking beautifully at the moment with some real delicacy as well as smooth approachability."
