The cru bourgeoisie: A classification reborn?
Much has been written about the trials and tribulations of St Emilion in recent months, but elsewhere in Bordeaux a classification is being reborn. Might that work and what kind of lessons can we draw from the new cru bourgeoisie of the Médoc? Our Bordeaux correspondent Colin Hay tries to find out.

Bordeaux’s Accessible Classification
One thing that always ties me up in knots is Bordeaux’s various classification systems. Don’t get me started on the Saint-Emilion classification, and I cannot honestly say I have had the opportunity to taste many of the class growths of the 1855 classification; but les Crus Bourgeois du Médoc seems altogether more familiar, and accessible. Created in the 1930s, it currently classifies around 250 Left-Bank chateaux deemed to be offering wine of very good quality at affordable prices. I won’t go into recent politics, let’s just say that the latest incarnation of the classification is dated 2020, covering vintages 2018-2022 inclusive, with a re-establishment of its three historic tiers: Cru Bourgeois, Cru Bourgeois Superieur, and Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, all allocations being co-ordinated by the work of the alliance des crus Bourgeois du Médoc.

Class without classification: Grand Cru brand extension and the attribution of reputation by association 03 March 2022 15:56 |

Class without classification: Grand Cru brand extension and the attribution of reputation by association
I have written a fair bit about competitive systems of classification in recent weeks. But there are clearly other strategies for promoting the reputation of a wine, particularly when it is neither classified nor even eligible for classification.

The terroirs of Bordeaux
For some, the mere mention of “Bordeaux” – a little like “Champagne” – is simply a mark of quality, rather than the symbol of a patchwork of very different terroirs. Yet Bordeaux (and all the great French winemaking regions for that matter) is divided into large areas with widely-varying profiles.

Bats to the Rescue in Bordeaux Vineyards
How many bats do you want in your vineyard? That is a question that has exercised Xavier Buffo, General Manager of Château de la Rivière in the Fronsac AoP of Bordeaux, and Anne Biscaye, owner of Château Lapelletrie in Saint-Émilion, AoP. They know the answer, with the help of researchers who found the average bat consumed 2,000 insects each night. The insect that occupies their attention is the grapevine moth (also called Eudemis or Cochylis) which is a pest that encourages the botrytis bunch rot in grapes.
