Haut Brion and Latour both came out today, both at 240 euros also on the Place, the same price as Chateau Margaux.
The first growths are really showing they are clever business brains - and showing up the rest of Bordeaux, who admittedy don't have quite the same margins to play with... still, I am preparing the name and shame board of the campaign, with those who blew any chance that 2007 stood of being successful by stubbornly sticking to last year's prices... suggestions welcome!
Oh - special advance mention should go to Cantenac Brown, who for the second year running raised the price from 2005. Apparently this wine hasn't even been offered by merchants, as no one thinks for a second that it will be taken up by customers...
