Bordeaux grants official status to a lighter claret style
Bordeaux's wine authorities have officially approved a new lighter claret style that'll start appearing on shelves from the 2025 vintage. It's designed to address warmer growing seasons pushing alcohol levels higher, whilst also tapping into changing drinking habits where consumers prefer fresher, fruitier reds served lightly chilled. The move revives a historic style that was popular when Bordeaux shipped wine to Britain from medieval times.
