2005 Futures live

About Bordeaux wines futures

One of Jean-Marc's major strong points is the fact that he is based in Bordeaux. This enables him to follow the situation on site closely, from June to September, during the vines' ripening process, then during harvest. He tastes the wines when they are very young and not yet blended. He anticipates their quality and discovers the most talented winegrowers. Indeed, "a wine's potential depends on what happens in the vineyard".

In March his judgment of the new vintage is strong and very well documented.

During the En primeur campaign, full details are published in French.

For the English readers he publishes a detailed report which highlights the fundamentals of the vintage and also his scores of more than 500 wines.

After the bottling he keeps on tasting and judging the wines to inform his readers about their development.
