While young reds were frantically being poured in the grand ballroom and masterclass sessions heaved with keen vertical-seekers, upstairs, tucked away in a calm corner, was a veritable haven of tranquility - a prospect made significantly sweeter by the promise of an hour with some of Sauternes' greatest wines (no pun intended).

Just over 20 years of Chateau Gruaud Larose – from 1989 to 2010 – not only enchanted the palates of Bordeaux lovers at Decanter's Great Bordeaux Fine Wine Encounter masterclass, but also reflected profound transitions at this venerable second growth, one of the most famous of St Julien.

So - Is it Old or is it New?
Watch the video highlights from this year's Decanter Fine Wine Encounter held at The Landmark Hotel in London on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th November with behind the scenes footage and exclusive interviews with people including Charles Chevallier, Paul Draper and Sylvie Cazes.
As one participant remarked, tasting the Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) “was like going through a tour of ultra-fine Bordeaux.”
Such was the interest for the Sassicaia and Ornellaia master class that Charles Chevalier, winemaking director at Château Lafite Rothschild and Maggie Henriquez, CEO of Krug Champagne – both featured in other master classes over the weekend – attended to compare the wines from the 2008, 2004, 2000 and 1998 vintages, plus two second wines.
Lovers of elegance in Bordeaux found their pleasure tasting 10 vintages of Chateau Canon, one of only 15 Premier Grand Cru Classes B from St Emilion known especially for its elegance.
Six vintages of Pichon Comtesse de Lalande spanning over 30 years pleased many a palate in a master class hosted by Sylvie Cazes and Mark Bingley MW. Cazes drew attention to a brand new era for this venerable second growth Pauillac.
For most participants of the Krug master class, the order of the flight seemed astounding: starting with the rare, just released Clos du Mesnil 2000, and ending with... two non-vintage cuvees.
