Bordeaux 2018 revisited: Saint-Emilion

In the first of a series of appellation profiles to be published over the next few months, our Bordeaux correspondent, Colin Hay, revisits the 2018 vintage in Saint-Emilion, providing an overview of the appellation in this challenging, heterogeneous yet potentially excellent vintage, and detailed tasting notes on 179 wines. His Pomerol profile will follow shortly, with articles on each of the leading appellations of the Médoc and Pessac-Léognan to be published later in the year.

Legal challenges to Saint-Emilion classification double the price of applications

Legal challenges to Saint-Emilion classification double the price of applications

The prices of Bordeaux’s Grands Crus Classés aren’t the only ones soaring – the cost of applying for the classifications is also on the increase. In fact, they have risen significantly more than the prices of GCC. Before the 2006 classification, and the first court cases, the application fee for the Saint-Emilion classification was nothing, but it has been spiralling upwards ever since: €1,500 in 2006, then €6,500 for the 2012 classification (and €7,500 for the Premier Grand Cru statement), and now €14,000 for the next classification in 2022 (€21,000 for the Premier Grand Cru statement).

Mouton Cadet ventures into organic wines

At the ripe old age of 90, Mouton Cadet is reinventing itself by releasing an organic version. “This important day is the culmination of several years’ work”, stresses Philippe Sereys de Rothschild, CEO of Baron Philippe de Rothschild (BPR). “We began by getting our 250 partner winegrowers certified HVE (High Environmental Value) and by producing a wine without plant protection products classified as CMR (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic and Reprotoxic)”.

A bottle of Petrus aged for a year in space was found to be “softer” and “more floral” than its Earth-aged equivalent, hinting that its cosmic journey may have sped up the ageing process.

Understanding 21st Century Bordeaux Wines from Wine Reviews Using Naïve Bayes Classifier

Understanding 21st Century Bordeaux Wines from Wine Reviews Using Naïve Bayes Classifier

The ancient beverage, wine, has remained popular in modern times. While the ancients had mostly wine available from neighboring vineyards, the number and variety of wines available for purchase have exploded in modern times. Consumers are assaulted with an endless number of varieties and flavors. Some examples include red wine, white wine, rose wine, starch-based wine, etc., which are then also based on a variety of grapes, fruits like apples, and berries. For a non-expert, unfamiliar with the various nuances that make each brand distinct, the complexity of decision making has vastly increased. In such a competitive market, wine reviews and rankings matter a lot since they become part of the heuristics that drive consumer’s decision making.

What Does Bordeaux En Primeurs Look Like in 2021?

Bordeaux wine is like the Big Bang Theory or Newton’s Laws of Motion. Universe-defining, omnipresent, and to many of us, if we’re honest, a bit mysterious. But by the time we reach full-blown adulthood, if we haven’t already absorbed an understanding of these great hulking entities, we don’t really want to admit it.

Bordeaux | Right bank vs left bank, what’s the difference?

Bordeaux’s winemaking land tends to be separated into three large areas in relation to the Garonne and Dordogne rivers: the right bank, the left bank, and the ‘Entre-deux-Mers’. The latter being reputed more for its dry whites and sweet wines, it won’t appear this time. A match, then, between the left and right banks, where we have a look at the differences in their soil, grape varietals, landscapes, and wine styles.

Girondins de Bordeaux : les réactions plutôt positives du monde du vin… sur le terrain de la reprise

24 heures après la tribune de François Pinault, visant un projet de reprise des Girondins par le monde du vin, les réactions ne se sont pas faites attendre. Côté châteaux a fait son tour d’horizon pour voir si le projet était crédible. On va dire que l’idée est très bien accueillie, en revanche il faut un leader ou des individualités fortes pour prendre en mains ce projet, car comme le résume le porte parole du club de supporters des ultras, « seuls les actes comptent ». Réaction également du maire de Bordeaux Pierre Hurmic.

2020 à Bordeaux : un millésime d’interprétation

Avant même d’être dégusté, le millésime 2020 était sur toutes les langues. D’abord, parce qu’il affiche deux nombres symboliques (20-20), faisant dire à de nombreux metteurs en marché que les affaires seraient florissantes ; ensuite parce qu’il est marqué à tout jamais par la pandémie de COVID-19 avec son lot d’incertitudes, de stress, de chamboulements économiques et de nécessaires adaptations ; également parce qu’il s’est construit avec les conséquences du réchauffement climatique qui semble être un bénéfice pour Bordeaux ; enfin et surtout parce qu’il s’inscrit dans une période qualitative exceptionnelle pour la région, ouverte par le millésime 2016 et, pour l’instant, refermée sur le millésime 2020.

Bordeaux aims for 30% of its wines to be certified ‘Bordeaux Cultivons Demain’ by 2030

At the Bordeaux wine marketing board’s AGM (CIVcool smiley on May 3, the region’s industry representatives noted the lack of interest in the Bordeaux wine industry by opinion-leaders and concluded that it was absolutely essential to develop and roll out its collective approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Called ‘Bordeaux Cultivons Demain’, the sustainability certification process will launch this spring, after a year spent by a working group of 18 volunteer companies developing the scheme.
