2oceansvibe reports that Michelin’s recently introduced Bordeaux wine-estate ratings are attracting criticism from parts of the wine trade over their methodology and the practice of assigning a single rating to an estate rather than individual vintages or wines. Michelin awarded three grapes to nine Bordeaux estates, two to 16 and one to 37, while defending a process based on agronomy, technical mastery, identity, balance and consistency across vintages.
