Quo Vadis Bordeaux
Details
Bordeaux faces questions that extend far beyond the Gironde: how does what is arguably the most famous wine region respond to climate change, new consumer habits, economic pressure, and changing international markets?
Neal Martin discusses with Hannah Fiegenschuh of Derenoncourt Vignerons Consultants and Hans Martin Gesellmann, editor-in-chief of Wein Österreich at Falstaff, the answers Bordeaux is seeking today.
At the centre are not simple forecasts but concrete changes in vineyard, cellar, distribution, and communication. The panel asks which strengths continue to define Bordeaux, where action is needed, and what other wine regions can learn from this situation.

He completed WSET Level 4, visited numerous wineries and launched wine-journal.com in 2003, which quickly reached 100,000 readers. In 2006, Robert Parker invited him to work as a critic for The Wine Advocate. In 2012, he published a book on Pomerol. Neal Martin left Robert Parker Wine Advocate in 2017.
