The Grand Jury Europeen, which we covered in a previous post, has released its rankings for the 2005 Bordeaux vintage. As usual with the Jury's tastings – which are conducted blind by a panel that includes Michel Bettane, Anthony Hanson and Stephane Derenoncourt – there are a number of surprises, not least the lowly position of Petrus (51st) and Haut Brion (45th). Full details on the tasters and methodology can be found on their website. The top 60 by ranking are below.
