Grand Cru: The Wine Maker · published · build 22411118
Bonjour, winemakers!
If you ever blended two great wines and got a disappointing score... it wasn't your winemaking. It was our code. The winemaker's skill bonus (oak calibration & MLF fine-tuning) was silently dropped during blending. Your careful oak aging, your precise malolactic decisions — none of it carried over into the blend. Single varietals always scored higher, no matter what. Fixed. Blends now properly inherit the craftsman's touch from both parent wines. A well-made blend can now score higher than either wine alone — as it should be in real Bordeaux winemaking. We're sorry. Your assemblage deserved better.
