[REPLAY] "Vino Veritas": Bordeaux, a prophet in its own land?

By La rédaction

This article from Terre de Vins presents the replay of an episode of "Vino Veritas" addressing the consumption of Bordeaux wines in Bordeaux. Jean-Baptiste Duquesne, winegrower at Château Cazebonne (Graves) and founder of the "Bordeaux Pirate" association, is one of the guests. The programme discusses the idea that the people of Bordeaux may not champion their own wines enough, preferring to open up to other regions. Duquesne shares his perspective on the issue.

The article "Vino Veritas : Bordeaux, prophète en son pays ?" from Terre de Vins explores the question of local wine consumption in the Bordeaux region. It highlights a growing trend among wine merchants, restaurants and wine bars in Gironde to favour an ecumenical offering, including wines from other regions and countries, which is causing concern within the Bordeaux wine trade, lamenting a lack of local chauvinism. To debate this issue, Xavier Sota and Mathieu Doumenge welcome Jean-Baptiste Duquesne. He is introduced as the winegrower at Château Cazebonne, an estate situated in the Graves region, and is also the founder of the "Bordeaux Pirate" association, which campaigns for a "different Bordeaux". His appearance on the programme aims to shed light on the "new creed" that the people of Bordeaux ought to drink more Bordeaux wine.
