Q

What is the the “garagiste” movement?

A

The garagistes refers to a group of winemakers in the
Bordeaux region, producing “Vins de garage”, “Garage wine”. A group emerged in the mid-1990s in reaction to the traditional style of red Bordeaux wine, which is highly tannic and requires long ageing in the bottle to become drinkable. The garagistes developed
a style more consistent with perceived international wine tastes. For red wines this means “bigger, bolder, fruitier wines, often with sometimes a higher alcohol
content.” The new style for white wines is a more pronounced oak taste with some residual sugar. Alternately, such wine is referred to as “super-cuvée”
or “microchâteau”. Château Le Pin is considered a predecessor of the Garage wine. Ch. Valandraud.
