I know that price scales for wines are crazy, especially when you put Bordeaux or Burgundy into the balanceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635428184895066582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219646897587177986.post-73826369782760642812011-02-07T17:19:05.226+01:002011-02-07T17:19:05.226+01:00Not the first time I spot this comment: “price on ...Not the first time I spot this comment: “price on the high side for this type of wine”...<br />What does it mean?<br />Château Labégorce-Zédé used to be a Belgian owned, managed and – yes, even made – middle-of-the-range Margaux wine. It changed hands, I think.<br />Its – actual, not alleged – yield must be around 70-80 hl/ha (all categories of wine coming from the harvest of the plots taken into consideration) and its taste is ... OK. When you look at the “en primeur offers”, they easily reach more than that price (excluding taxes), and the retail prices are roughly double that tag.<br />I haven’t seen Olivier for a while, but used to know him well and regularly drink his wines.<br />He is, amongst other things, the creator of a 100 % varietal cinsault red wine of great quality as well. I’d rather be given one of his bottles than a full case of Labégorce.<br />So what is the correct price of a bottle?Luc Charliernoreply@blogger.com
