How influential can one vintner be? Two famous wineries get to find out.
Pontallier, Bascaules’s mentor at Margaux, died this year after a brief battle with cancer. When the 54-year-old Bascaules takes over next March at Margaux, one of Bordeaux’s top five châteaux, he will be returning to his roots but also taking along some insights from his half-decade in the New World. He will spend six weeks a year at Inglenook.

What I find fascinating is that the disclosure of double density vine planting say 1084 an acre increased to 2, 100 + - to soak up the water , great for wet climates and we are seeing this in the FLX… we have been doing this the last 5 years and we call it the’ Majestic Project’ double density vine count … it’s working better than we thought it could ever … oh guess where I got the idea from ???
Enjoy
Shalom !!!
Salute !!!
