ILPB- Ep7: The Future of La Place de Bordeaux

It started in Bordeaux but has since become a major force in global fine wine. What’s next for La Place de Bordeaux? In this final episode of Inside La Place de Bordeaux, hosts Felicity Carter and Pauline Vicard consider where La Place came from — and where it’s going. They talk to some of the world’s most insightful experts, and look into their own crystal balls, to predict what’s likely to happen next. ·       Can En Primeur stay in its current form, or will it transform into something else? ·       Will the market polarise further between the producers at the top and everybody else? ·       As climate change and better viticulture drive ever more excellent vintages, how will that transform the fine wine economy? ·       How will La Place upend the world of wine investment? For everyone involved in the fine wine trade, this is an episode not to be missed. With: Mathieu Chadronnier, Max Lalondrelle, Elin McCoy, Jane Anson.   Inside la Place de Bordeaux is a seven-episode podcast series produced by Areni Global, a think tank dedicated to the future of fine wine.
