Good luck anyway RW Get Ramsay and Stien to market a “suvived the hailstorm ” vintage use it as a marketing tool if that is possible , not that I know much about wine , but Beaujolais Nouveax got away with it for years
“The (very) rare 2009 Bauduc first in London” type thing.
Good luck anyway

We know you'll bounce back and we'll certainly do our bit to spread the word but comisserations - what rotten luck. All our love. So sad, awful to see Gavin in amongst the devastation.

I just hope that end result is not too disasterrous and you have a bumper year in 2010. We will try to preach the Bauduc word harder and look forward to seeing you in September. Kindest regards and good wishes - Malcolm Beill Dear Gavin & Angela

I watched the video clip and I'm glade that at least some of the vines were protected by the woods. The very best of wishes for the road ahead.

Readers are no doubt keener to see everyone's comments, rather than a string of thank-you's from me. So, in short, thanks to Mark for his comment and for ordering Bauduc wine for his wedding - and the very best of luck for the big day. Thanks to Paul and Yuriko from LA and to Charlie from San Francisco for your thoughts (and sorry about the Toon, Paul). To Giles and Alex, let's not meet again at half-time in case it brings bad luck, and to Chantal and Stuart, Ellian and Tim, David and Sally, and John and Janette, many thanks for your continued support. (By the way, Tim of The Economist wrote an excellent article about Bauduc and Bordeaux, which you can find on the main bauduc.com site under 'About Us - Press Cuttings'). Thanks Myriam, Lucy, Ems and Juzzer, and to John and Beth - and for your order too. Finally, great to have a comment like that from Stephen Brook, who is currently editing Hugh Johnson's new Wine Companion. Stephen wrote The Complete Bordeaux, published by Mitchell Beazley, which deserves a place on any Bordeaux lover's bookshelf. Cheers, Gavin.

We are so very sorry for you - I guess it's akin to the loss of a good friend. However, take heart from the 2007 Rose failure : it has been followed by your absolutely brilliant 2008 Bordeaux Rose. So here's raising a glass to a brilliant 2010 vintage from (by then) well rested vines. Love and Best Wishes, John & Janette. What a disaster !
