We went to see Olivier Yobregat from the IFV (Institut Français de la Vigne). He is deeply passionate about ampelography, and we were able to discuss at length the historical grape varieties of Bordeaux and received many answers to some of our questions. Next year, we will be planting 7 or 8 new historical grape varieties: Mérille, Prueras, Gros Cabernet, Gros Verdot, Petit Péjac...
