A few months ago, French media reported that the supply of Burgundy wines was running low. Louis Latour, as the Revue du Vin de France reported as an example, is completely sold out even with its basic Bourgogne Blanc. The trading house, founded in 1797, sells about 10 million bottles a year, and a very large proportion of this is probably the white Burgundy of the simple regional AOC. When such a wine is no longer available, the significance of this for the market as a whole cannot be overestimated.
