In a packed room, the WMG members and their guests enjoyed a lineup of 2000-2007 vintages from two adjacent Bordeaux estates: Domaine du Chevalier and Chateau Haut-Bailly. (Three white vintages from Chevalier were included with the 2001 drawing much praise in the first two posts below.) Winemakers from both estates were on hand to discuss the wines.
