Demand puts pressure on Burgundy 2010 (France)

One merchant revealed that it had been forced to reduce its offer to packs of not just six bottles, but as few as three, reports The Drinks Business. “There’s a waiting list already,” said Goedhuis wine buyer Robin Kick of interest in the merchant’s own en primeur campaign. “The quantities have halved from last year.”
