Description

How old is La Place? How did the Bordelais create the most influential fine wine system in the world? Where did the 1855 Classification come from- and who decided? Did 1982 really change the fate of the Bordelais?



In this sixth episode, hosts Felicity Carter and Pauline Vicard dive into the archives and talk to historians, to help them better understand the origins of La Place de Bordeaux.



And what they find is unexpected. Whether it’s the hard-nosed commercial decisions, or the quest for tax deductions, or even the world of smuggling, they uncover the key moments that helped create the world of Bordeaux as we know it today.



For everyone who loves wine and history, this is an episode not to be missed.



With: Prof. Rod Phillips, Charles Leary PhD and Simon Tam.
