“In the vat room designed in the 2000s by the AXA group, we cannot produce blends as precisely as we would like”, says the new owner of Margaux Troisième Grand Cru Classé, Cantenac Brown. “And the barrel cellar is too small to work in ideal conditions”.

In a Beautiful New Book, the Complete History of Château Lafite Rothschild—the World’s Most Famous Wine

In a Beautiful New Book, the Complete History of Château Lafite Rothschild—the World’s Most Famous Wine

FOR MORE THAN 150 YEARS, Rothschild-family members have been the stalwart stewards of the Médoc-region vineyards at Château Lafite Rothschild. As the story goes, Baron James de Rothschild—son of German Rothschild scion Mayer Amschel—purchased the vineyard in 1868, after being dispatched by his father from Frankfurt to Paris decades earlier. (Mayer Amschel placed all of his five sons in European cities to buttress the family’s banking empire.) By then, Château Lafite had already earned its reputation—appreciated by stately oenophiles like Thomas Jefferson and anointed the King’s Wine, owing to the Ancien Régime’s predilection.

Since the 1855 classification, the first growths of Bordeaux Médoc and Graves have stood at the top of the heap, the monarchs of all they survey. Other chateaus, however good, can aspire to, but never seem to reach, the pinnacle of these five (originally, four).

Bordeaux is ready to plant its new grape varieties

Three weeks ago, the national institute of appellations and origin, INAO, gave the 4,500 winegrowers producing Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur the go-ahead to plant six of the seven varieties for which they had requested trials in a bid to adapt their vineyards to the challenges of climate change. Although Petit manseng was struck off the list, they will be able to plant Alvarinho and Liliorila for the whites and Arinarnoa, Castets, Marselan and Touriga Nacional for the reds in a few months’ time.

Is cabernet franc finally having its moment?

In the range of red wine varieties, cabernet franc has long been an insider’s wine. A grape that typically produces fragrant and savoury red wines that critics disparage as being leafy, herbaceous or worse, cabernet francs rarely enjoyed the global success of ripe and rewarding styles made from cabernet sauvignon, shiraz or malbec.

INTERVIEW WITH VÉRONIQUE DAUSSE OF BORDEAUX'S CHÂTEAU PHÉLAN SÉGUR

INTERVIEW WITH VÉRONIQUE DAUSSE OF BORDEAUX'S CHÂTEAU PHÉLAN SÉGUR

The Médoc region of Bordeaux, with its fancy châteaux, designer-clad winery owners and wines with triple and quadruple-digit price tags has, understandingly, a reputation as an intimidating place. But, while the region is defined by traditions that stretch back over 20 centuries, the wine producers of the Médoc, by and large, are surprisingly down-to-earth. Take Veronique Dausse, for example. Managing director of Château Phélan-Ségur, in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, Dausse is warm and friendly, with an easy laugh, and couldn’t be a more welcoming ambassador for the winery. She radiates an infectious enthusiasm for her wines and says that some of her happiest moments come from sharing them with customers around the world.

François-Louis Vuitton embarks on a ‘wine romance’ worthy of his famous family name

François-Louis Vuitton embarks on a ‘wine romance’ worthy of his famous family name

Living well comes naturally to François-Louis Vuitton. As the great- great-grandson of Louis Vuitton, luxury is in his DNA. His passion for wine, on the other hand, began decades ago in Bordeaux, where he spent countless weekends exploring the vineyards, speaking to field workers, and learning about viticulture from those closest to it. Wine tastings with friends and family happened frequently at his homes in Paris and Bordeaux, and as his fascination with fine wines grew, François- Louis decided he wanted to get more involved in the process.

Bernard Magrez turns focus from Bordeaux to other wine regions and spirits

“I’m not claiming that what I say is the truth, but it’s what I think”, stressed Bernard Magrez in his start-up incubator at Château le Sartre in Léognan on January 14. Never one to beat about the bush, 84-year-old Magrez certainly got straight to the point: “Bordeaux bashing is not a background tune, it's a reality. Bordeaux has not updated its range [despite the fact that] wine enthusiasts like to discover new products”.

Halfway between the Cité du Vin in the centre of Bordeaux and the UNESCO-listed vineyards of Saint-Émilion, the tourist centre of Planète Bordeaux is hoping visitors who travel to the wine regions will come to Beychac-et-Caillau. More than just visitor attendance, though “over twenty years after it was established, a thorough revamp had become essential”, said the Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur producers’ organisation in a press statement.
