Interesting article in the NY Times on reclassification in St. Emilion.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/24/world/europe/24bordeaux.html?hp

I am now a big fan of Thierry Manoncourt.

Very interesting article.
I guess you like this part -Mr. Manoncourt, offering a glass of a 2001 Château Figeac that Mr. Parker did not like at a first tasting, recalled saying, “Cher Bob, I don’t manufacture ink.”-

The "root for the underdog" in me will now have me visiting Chateau Grand Corbin-Despagne on my fall visit to Bordeaux.  Ditto that for Chateau Figeac.

Ok, read the article and now those are two chateaux I´ll pay the extra in my devalued currency and the sticky price overhang from the hyped up 05´s to give their 06´s a try. Never had the Corbin-Despagne, but I think the 05 Figeac in time is going to be incredible.
