Subject: It is not only the prices in Bordeaux |
Dear Klaus, dear Members of the Forum, I agree with you Klaus and the responces all of you wrote. For me there is another big problem in Bordeaux. There is no innovation anymore. Of course there have been changes in the vineyard and cellar work, but what goal was behind it? For me it is not only the quality issue, it is also a matter of the style. the wines of Bordeaux are way softer now, more (sometimes) only new oak is used. So can you really tell the diffence of a Paulliac to a Graves? You will find this probelm with the Crus, and very often with the simple table wines. It is soft, oaky and sometimes simple. Made for the international taste. So where is the real innovations? Is Bordeaux trendsetter or running behind the internationalisation of the modern wine industry? What they could change is the closure! Imagine all Cru start at one vintage together with screwcaps! This would push this closure and would really show the aims for quality an costumer service. Or do you believe, that a merchant would take back your 2005 Mouton because it is corked. Look at Penfolds they now start botteling Grange with stelvin. Thats great!!!! A little Hint for Werner: Fritz Haag winery is located in Brauneberg in the Mosel valley!
