Looks like a great trip. Living in Bordeaux I know it can get quite crowded during the "en primeur"tastings. If you would like to tour bordeaux and its Classified Growths in an other period I would likt to sugest The Bordeaux Wine Experience, a company secialising in wine and culinary tours to the Bordeaux region: http://www.BXWINEX.com.
