Bordeaux Uprooting.  Add/Read Comments

John over at French Duck - with his pulse rattling along as normal with all things French - reports that Bordeaux has uprooted vines. This is the first time ever that this has occurred with 550 growers being paid by the hectare to pull up grape vines. I can't remember the last time I read in anyone's blog a note on a Bordeaux wine; a reflection perhaps of the medicority in the lower price points and the exclusivity and corresponding prices at the upper levels.
