258
Q

What is the Place de bordeaux?

A

The Place de Bordeaux is a three-tier, de facto system of wine production, brokerage, and sales that controls the trade of wine in Bordeaux. The production tier (château) was historically operated by the aristocracy or the church, while the sales tier (the négociant) was the merchant class. In the 1600s Dutch and English traders set up some of the first modern négociant firms in Bordeaux, and German and Irish firms appeared in the 1700s. The broker tier (the courtier) evolved in the 17th century, both as an intermediary between the two social classes and as a necessary conduit to the new estates of the Médoc, an unknown territory to the Bordeaux-based merchants who, at the time, were more comfortable buying from the nearby properties of the Graves.

Q

260
Q

What type of vine training is traditionally used to make dry table wines in bordeaux? Sauternes and sweet wines? Why?

A

Guyot is used to produce most dry table wines

Cordon-training is rare throughout Bordeaux, save for those vines intended to produce sweet wines. Traditional in Sauternes, cordon-training produces smaller berries that attract botrytis; Guyot cane-training produces slightly larger berries that tend to develop grey rot instead.

261
Q

why do estates in saint-emilion/pomerol have a lower required planting density than the Haut-Medoc aop’s?

A

Right bank soils are generally shallower; roots cannot penetrate the limestone bedrock and therefore spread outward rather than dig down. The canopy is higher, too, in this more frost-prone inland region. It is a main reason density is lower as they simply cannot plant more vines due to how the vines grow.

262
Q

What can producers do to ward off rot in lieu of using chemicals or spraying?

A

de-leafing, by machine or manually. After véraison, many vineyards in Bordeaux are stripped of greenery in the fruit zone, giving the fruit needed ventilation into the humid late summer and early fall.

Q

what two types of sorters are used in bordeaux?

268
Q

what two aop’s share the ‘grand poujeaux croupe?”

A

The Moulis appellation, granted in 1938, shares the western edge of the Grand Poujeaux croupe with Saint-Julien and maintains access to some good gravel soils. There are no classified producers here; however, historically the commune has produced plenty of Cru Bourgeois wine, led by Château Chasse-Spleen and Château Poujeaux.

277
Q

what caused the right bak of bordeaux to shift from making cabernet franc based wines to merlot based wines?
