IN THE PRESS
Frédéric Brochet, a researcher with the ENOLOGY faculty of the University of Bordeaux, once asked some experts to describe two wines whose labels indicated a distinguished grand-cru classe and a cheap table wine.
Actually, Brochet had filled both bottles with a third, average wine. His subjects were profoundly impressed by the supposed grand cru - and dismissive of the same wine in the other bottle.
The Times of London covered Brochet's research in a piece headlined: "CHEEKY LITTLE TEST EXPOSES WINE 'EXPERTS' AS WEAK AND FLAT."
