A few weeks ago there was a tasting in Brussels by the Association of Grands Crus Classés de Saint Emilion, or else said the wines from the so called "the lesser Gods" of Saint Emilion.
So a small report of this tasting.
It's no evidence to taste this wines together in one place aside. You can always visit them of course but not at the same time.
As wine-lover and critic I know personally a number of these wines for a long time because one can not drink all days Cheval Blanc or Pavie, as if I do (never or in tastings), there is more than drinking these wines. I have as much great pleasure drinking these payable wines.
It has to be said, there was great consistency in the quality of the wines present and they all had the millesimes 2016 and 2015 to taste, so one could reflect on the quality tasted a year earlier (2015)
For me I stand by my opinion that most of them lacking a bit of body in the 2015, they are more of charming wines where the 2016 has beautiful fruit and more content in them, certainly those who put in the 2016 some Cabernet Sauvignon.
My personal favourites ware Chateau Chauvin, by Sylvie Cazes; Chateau Clos de Sarpe; Clos de L'Oratoire; Chateau Fleur Cardinale; Chateau Fonplégade, what a difference between the old style of Armand Moeix and now the family Adams (already for a number of years); Chateau Grand Corbin D'Espagne, Chateau Grand Pontet; Chateau La Marzelle by the Belgian family Sioen; Chateau Saint Georges Côtes Pavie which I know from the '80. by the family Masson.
