A Snapshot of the Antipodes - La Place 2024

BY ANGUS HUGHSON | SEPTEMBER 18, 2024

La Place de Bordeaux is an 800-year-old association of négociants working closely with leading châteaux to market their wines. Over the last 25 years, the wine selection has expanded beyond Bordeaux to include leading houses from around the globe. The first Australian wines were sold on La Place in 2020, and that number has grown to 13. This article includes notes on the remaining 2024 fall releases that I had not tasted previously. For ease of reference, already-published reviews can be found here:
