I’m not quite sure why they have done it but it is a very ambitious effort. The Swedish wine importer Hjo Grosshandel has published a dozen video interviews with a handful of the great and glorious chateau in Bordeaux. The interviews were done (it seems) at the primeur tastings earlier this year, and the main theme is the 2010 vintage. They have managed to get a quiet moment with the heads of each chateau and the result is exceptionally interesting (and ambitions) compared to much of what you see on wine online. Well done! You can see all the videos on Hjo Grosshandel’s YouTube channel. (And, yes, they are in English!). These are the chateaux they cover:
– Château Pontet-Canet
– Domaine de Courteillac
– Château Margaux
– Château Pichon Longueville comtesse de Lalande
– Château Cheval Blanc & Château d´Yquem
– Château Mouton Rothschild
– Château Beychevelle
– Château Picque-Caillou
– Château Cos d´Estournel
– Château Pétrus
– Château Pichon-Baron
– Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix
