Of Bicyclettes, terroir, typicité: Over on HuffPo…
The Merlot that was supposedly used in the blend – the Merlot that makes, among other wines, Chateau Petrus – is not a traditional grape in the Languedoc either.
Over on HuffPo , there’s a piece up about the Red Bicyclette/faux pinot saga . Jacqueline Friedrich , author of the guide The Wines of France , posted this comment as a reply.
