A major reference book for the Bordeaux trade:

The Bordeaux brokers “Les Grands Cru”, who specialise in wine transactions between the estates and the Bordeaux wine merchants, have published a superb book, unfortunately in only 800 copies (what a pity!), to commemorate their tenth anniversary.
The authors did not fall into the trap of writing what could have been a boring collection of memories, but quoted interviews with well-known characters within the Bordeaux wine trade, managing to create a clear, intelligently constructed view of the Bordeaux market, making it easier to understand how it works, its advantages and its abuses.
This book with its texts, its design and the way it is built, reflects all the energy of these young brokers who through sheer talent, a dogged devotion to hard work and clear-sightedness, have been able to establish their key professional role as a point of reference on the market of great Bordeaux wines.
