20 Best Winemakers in the same room at the same time!
About to be exhibited in London are 20 fine art photography portraits of the greatest Bordeaux winemakers, from Olivier Berrouet at Petrus to Charles Chevallier at Lafite. Amazing that they all agreed to have their portraits taken in the same vintage (2010) if at all! Just thought the members of this forum would like to take a look: www.greatestwinemakers.com

Amazing pictures! I love how he captures the winemaker and offers a glimpse of the personality and wine philosophy.
Thanks for sharing the link

Excellent pics even if I don't agree that these are the best 22 winemakers. Thanks!

Amazing pictures.
There's one mistake however - it's still Jacques Guinaudeau (Baptiste's father), who is the main winemaker. Baptiste and Julie contribute with ideas. But in 7-8 years I believe Baptiste and Julie will take over from Jacques.

Re: 20 Best Winemakers in the same room at the same time!
Some great photos, but I think there are more than 20 great winemakers in Bordeaux and having Angelus, Rausan-Segla & Leoville-Poyferre in there is contentious when VCC, La Conseillante, etc are left out. If you aren't a fan of HWSRN then you could in the last 12 years rile against Cos and Ducru...
Always begs the question. What makes a great winemaker. A good winemaker can make great wine with those terroirs if we are completely honest... But I suppose they have to have some criteria. And where do you start??
Still I dont want to seem like Scrooge but it is a good bit of fun!!
