And they recently scrapped their regulations on AOC wine to enable producers to make a table wine, to be called Vin de Pays de l'Atlantique. Christian Delpeuch and other Bordeaux merchants aren't waiting. In the conference room at Ginestet, Delpeuch shows off a bottle of his latest creation, aimed...
