Abstract

At the 1976 “Judgment of Paris” blind tasting, Napa’s New World winemakers dethroned the best Chateaux in Bordeaux as the standard for excellent wine. While the French were shocked by the result, they should not have been, given a set of wine scandals that plagued the region over the previous ten years.This paper examines how the Bordeaux region modernized its wine making practices after the Second World War in an effort not only to improve the quality of their wine to create a global wine that tasted distinctly Bordelaise.
