<strong>In order to guarantee the authenticity of their wines, Château Palmer is working in partnership with Prooftag, the developers of Bubble Tag technology which allows wineries to protect their bottles and fight against counterfeiting.</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 488px;">
Beginning with the 2009 vintage, every bottle of Château Palmer (Margaux, Third Growth), as well as its second label, Alter Ego, will be equipped with a “Bubble Tag” (a registered trademark) which will guarantee the wine’s authenticity and quality. Developed by the French company, Prooftag, this authentication seal contains all of the information pertaining to the bottle in question, recorded in a database prior to shipment and accessible to customers. How is this system original? It is based on Bubble Tag technology: a code which consists of a translucent polymer in the heart of which bubbles are generated in an entirely random fashion. This code constitutes the identity of each bottle. Each Bubble Tag is unique and impossible to reproduce, even for Prooftag<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">.</span></div>

<strong>Anti-counterfeiting</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 488px;">
By scanning the Bubble Tag with their smartphone, customers can access all the information concerning the wine. Of course, it is also a guarantee of quality, traceability, and authenticity. Placing bottles under tamper-proof seals ensures customers that the bottles haven’t been opened beforehand. This technology is a decisive arm in the fight against counterfeiting, of which the Grand Crus are the principal target. “Our solutions aim to guarantee and secure the brand’s commercial activity and to protect their reputation”, underlines Franck Bourrières, Prooftag’s sales and marketing manager. Incidentally, for its anti-counterfeiting technology, Prooftag has received accreditation by Chinese authorities (China Anti-Counterfeiting Technology Association).</div>

By opting for this technology, Château Palmer is serving as a pioneer among the Grand Cru Classés: currently, only a handful of estates, such as Château Montelena in California, Domaine Ponsot in Burgundy, and Château Canon La Gaffelière in Saint-Emilion, have already protected their bottles with the Bubble Tag system. “The exceptional character of each and every one of our bottles has led us to reinforce the authentication process for our wines. The technology developed by Prooftag has convinced us of its effectiveness, and it is for this reason that we have decided to equip all of our bottles with their authentication system”, declares Bernard De Laage de Meux, head of development at Château Palmer.</div>

<span style="color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Wine sales at auction house in 2011:</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">-Acker Merrall & Condit topped $110 million,</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">-Christie's sales are more than $90 million,</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">-Sotheby's wine auctions hit $85,5 million,</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">-Bonhams finished at $17 million.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXTmZtTk0NhK8cuzOKBP1L9cNhCmTxtJok6lDTRGosOKjTpL6qf-3GogcSUvL0f89bAtGe_s3A1FmqUOTEobfkWeiqJnmAXMGHLC70D4ZR6oZpTMDkKQfpXWkJrf4hi5mdwVrhQ6eot-Ej/s1600/bfw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: white;"><img border="0" height="135" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXTmZtTk0NhK8cuzOKBP1L9cNhCmTxtJok6lDTRGosOKjTpL6qf-3GogcSUvL0f89bAtGe_s3A1FmqUOTEobfkWeiqJnmAXMGHLC70D4ZR6oZpTMDkKQfpXWkJrf4hi5mdwVrhQ6eot-Ej/s320/bfw.jpg" width="320" /></span></a><span style="color: white;">Richard Harvey predicts prices for Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Haut-Brion and Mouton will</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"> remain stables, or even dip further in the first three months of 2012. Cases of 1982 Lafite, which sold in March more than $60 000 a case were fetching less than $45 000 at auction. The dip makes it unlikely that the 300 bottle of Chateau Lafite-Rotschild with vintages between 1981 and 2005 that was sold more than $539 000 will reach that level again soon.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Prices for Burgundy, specifically Domaine Romanee-Conti, are expected to remain high because the amount of wines produced in the region is so small. But in Burgundy, auction prices were lower this year. At the Hospices de Beaune auction in November, where wealthy wine enthusiasts bid in a yearly sale whose proceeds are donated to charity, the average prices were down by 6,2 percent for reds and 12,9 percent for whites.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">The fine wine market is in constant evolution and we can have a pretty good outook in terms of the growth of this market in the long term. There will be new new byers, new collectors, new drinkers from around the world.</span>Wine Breaking Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09541678122046771335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5873168156054585213.post-60240670984738897642011-12-11T16:55:00.001+01:002011-12-11T22:49:08.607+01:00NEWS: Anish Kapoor illustrates the Label of Château Mouton Rotschild 2009<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif1NisuoWkf5iom7QQlBcg3bRI64zGZxTlSbU8qxSTfZYy66xDo80Q6pTnhyphenhyphenHGic1Kw1NvUuHsUyxYZL38gFRZJzpMxhJVRrZ4vt6w8J8bQYhrtFiivdHVgdqIrBVXWBvKqJ_94Vpyo2x6/s1600/Etiquette+MR+2009+specimen.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif1NisuoWkf5iom7QQlBcg3bRI64zGZxTlSbU8qxSTfZYy66xDo80Q6pTnhyphenhyphenHGic1Kw1NvUuHsUyxYZL38gFRZJzpMxhJVRrZ4vt6w8J8bQYhrtFiivdHVgdqIrBVXWBvKqJ_94Vpyo2x6/s320/Etiquette+MR+2009+specimen.JPG" width="213" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Every Year since 1945, a great artist has created an original artwork for the Château Mouton Rotschild Label. Thus, the most famous names in contemporary art are brought together in a colection to which a new work is added each year.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">The commission to illustrate the 2009 vintage was given to the sculptor, painter and visual artist Anish Kapoor, a british citizen of indian origin, born in Mumbai in 1954 and leading figure of contemporary art. His work reflects and transcends world's diversity through a constant invention of forms that offer the viewer unforgettable experiences.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">At once austere and flamboyant, the gouache he has created for Mouton Rotschild2009 expresses the fertile thrust of plant life, the result of an intense encounter between matter and light.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><b><u>Vintage 2009</u></b>: the wine has a very deep, almost black colour. the stylish and complex nose displays aromas of bilberry, blackcurrant and blond tabacco that mingle with subtle cedarwood and spice notes. The same refinement and density are to be found on the palate with patrician, well-rounded tannins, revealing remarkable structure and balance right through to the long and opulent finish.</span>Wine Breaking Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09541678122046771335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5873168156054585213.post-68064062583260582292011-12-04T18:03:00.001+01:002011-12-04T18:08:11.697+01:00The great Bordeaux in December, it's Christmas!<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Retired Chinese basketball superstar Yao
Ming is venturing into a new world, launching a wine collection in his own name
in Shanghai on Sunday, 27 November, at a charity auction oragnised by the
Special Olympics. The inaugural bottle of the Yao Ming 2009 Napa Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon, made by his newly established wine company, Yao Family
Wines, was shown off to the public auction.</span><br />

First, this is a 2009 wine and we can feel everything inside this wine is in
the past, like being in a time capsule.Also, a lot of times, when we enjoy
wine, it is not the simple act of drinking the wine, but it also contains the
feeling of the wonderful time that you spend with your friends enjoying
wine"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Yesterday, the wine collection of Alain Delon sold at
Fouquet’s ( Paris hotel and restaurant ) reported the sum of 250,412 euro, well
above estimates.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">The Cornette de Saint Cyr house estimated the wine
collection value around 100, 000 euro before the auction sale, but some bottles
were sold above market value. Indeed, the set of 6 bottles of Cheval blanc 1947
estimated between 9,000 and 10,800 euros have been sold 20,000 euro! And in the
same way, a bottle of Cognac Martell estimated around 400 euro has been sold
2,500 euro… this auction sale was just amazing, and a big part of its success
is coming from the seller: we are calling that “the Impact Alain Delon”.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Last week, have been sold the Don
Stott collection (rare Burgundy wines) in Hong Kong,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Acker<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Merrall ( wine auctioneer) announced 10,5 Millions euros sold this day.
The collection was composed of Romanee Conti, Georges Roumier, Henri Jayer,
Louis Jadot, Leroy, Dujac… Cases of 12 bottles were sailing at 4000, 6000,
10 000, 25 000 euros!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">This kind of sales is current in
Hong Kong: 1 or 2 times per month. But why it’s happening in Hong Kong?! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Hong Kong opened their doors 3
years ago: authorities wanted to give a new identity to the megalopolis, the
island must be the new platform of the Fine Wines trading. In 2008, Hong Kong
did away with importation taxes: the beginning of “The Wine Hub”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, their first strategy is to take the
place of London, which has the most important wine stocks. This last one can be
afraid because in 3 years, the importations value of Fine Wine via Hong Kong
increased by three (900 millions in 2011)!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
