Welcome back wine friends! Today, we're diving into La Place de Bordeaux, exploring its historic significance and the diverse wines it now includes, such as Opus One, Almaviva, and Seña. This episode perfectly follows my Bordeaux discussions with Jane Anson in episodes 182 about En Primeur wine futures and 183 about Bordeaux’s lesser know wine regions and grapes.
Joining us today is my dear friend Pauline Vicard, a stage two Master of Wine student and co-founder of Areni Global, a think tank dedicated to the future of fine wine. Pauline will enlighten us on La Place de Bordeaux, breaking down this intricate distribution system with insights from industry experts, including Ornellaia, Opus One, Max Lalondrelle (MD of Fine Wine at Berry Bros.), and Mathieu Chardonnier (President of Bordeaux Négociants CVBG).
Tune in for an introduction into the world of fine wine from a financial and global trade perspective.
