Also, just a quick note on pricing.
Chateau Rieussec 2007 (Sauternes, owned by Domaines Rothschilds - they are at least majority shareholders, not sure if now 100% owners) has come out at a terribly reasonable price rise of 29.5% from 2006.
I am not joking... give these guys a few good reviews and they can't help themselves... let's hope the rest of Bordeaux watches how well this has gone down with the London merchants, one of whom said today, 'I have been buying Rieussac for the past 15 years en primeur. Not this year.'
