What makes French wine so good? We’re about to see one of the secrets. In 1950, two workers climb onto what looks like a vat of grapes at the winery of Monsieur Auguste Hudelot in France’s Burgundy region.

This technique is now rather obsolite , exept for the top of the top , like Château d'yquem , I bought a 1990 crate and the good news is that it will become a legend like the 1921 or the 1816 (which is still improving !!!!) . Thebad n news is that the wine will reaxh maturity only within 50 or 75 years !
