Of late I find myself, once again, drawn to the Bordeaux region. I think that anyone involved in the wine business, at some stage, dreams of a life spent tending their very own vines in the idyllic surroundings of Bordeaux, the very heart of the French wine industry. I use the word “Industry” , because far from any romantic image of stomping grapes at harvest, the wine business has been transformed to almost industrial like precision (while retaining their almost earthy farming approach) over the last 20 years. The French have taken their considerable skill and married it to 21st century technology and are producing not only world renowned wines but also giving New World producers a run for their money at entry level. I can say one thing for sure, nobody can put finesse and elegance into wine quite like the French.
