Garagistes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The garagistes refers to a group of innovative winemakers in Bordeaux. They emerged in the mid 1990s in reaction to the traditional style of red Bordeaux wine, which is highly tannic and requires long ageing in the bottle. The garagistes developed a style more consistent with international wine norms. For reds, this means "bigger, bolder, fruitier wines with sometimes a higher alcohol content." For white wines, the new style is a stronger oak taste with some residual sugar.
