Which famous Bordeaux, that doesn't have a second wine, is looking actually to start producing one in the coming year(s)?

[robert goulet]

need a hint....la rive gauche or droite?

[jckba]

Or red, white or sweet?

I am going to go with Right Bank and more specifically to Pomerol with either Petrus or Le Pin as I know they do not currently produce second wines and the sad part is even if they did move towards making one, I likely wouldn't be able to afford it anyways

[robert goulet]

good call....Petrus sounds very realistic


I still need to think about this a bit

[Nicklasss]

The clue : a non classified growth from the Right Bank.

Prepare your wallet, you already got it. It is Petrus!

What for??? Not that I can afford even the second wine let alone the grand vin, but to charge even more for the grand vin?

[AKR]

Maybe they already send some vats/barrels packing, and someone has noticed that selling it in bulk, or bottling it up in Mouiex's generic Pomerol offering (don't see it much stateside), is not as profitable as making it an estate deuxieme.

[Nicklasss]

Yes Arv, you got it all. Profit. This is the World. Until we're doomed. Yeah.

my question is who received all the throw away grapes from the previous Petrus vintages.
