“If I today am attracted by the New World countries in wine it is because they offer you a liberty in how to make wine that does not exist in France. No limits in yields, no pre-defined grape varieties… each and all has the freedom to make wine as he decides best, with the consequence that he then takes the commercial responsibility to himself sell his wines. In France, our collective model with appellations is too heavy. It is necessary to revise the system.”

Quotes - Michel Laroche, one of France’s most successful wine makers
“If I today am attracted by the New World countries in wine it is because they offer you a liberty in how to make wine that does not exist in France. No limits in yields, no pre-defined grape varieties… each and all has the freedom to make wine as he decides best, with the consequence that he then takes the commercial responsibility to himself sell his wines. In France, our collective model with appellations is too heavy. It is necessary to revise the system.”
