Roland Lavantureux runs a small domaine in Chablis, not just growing his family’s Chardonnay grapes but also bottling their produce. He recently worked out that it would almost make financial sense for him to pull the cork on every bottle in his cellars and sell their contents in bulk to one of the army of small négociants (people who produce wine from bought-in grapes and wine) that has mushroomed in Burgundy, so crazily high are bulk wine prices in the world’s favourite fine wine region.
罗兰•拉万图勒(Roland Lavantureux)在夏布利(Chablis)经营着一家小型酒庄,他们自己种植霞多丽(Chardonnay)葡萄并且灌装。最近罗兰发现一种可能对自己更富manbetx20客户端下载 效益的做法,那就是把自己窖藏的佳酿全部启封,以散装酒的形式出售给酒商(négociant)大军中的某一个(酒商用外购的葡萄和葡萄酒来酿酒出售)。作为世界最受追捧的葡萄酒产地,勃艮第的酒商已经多如雨后春笋,而该地区的散装酒价格也已经高得离谱。
