Sheep vs. Mouton, Bordeaux vs. Burgundy?
The Sheep War has and will take place. a few months ago Laurent Mouton of Domaine Mouton, winemaker from Givry in Burgundy told us that Domaine Mouton Rothschild wanted it to change its name. Today Rothschild goes further, since he attacked our Mouton wine producer Bourguignon, asking him 410 000 € in damages, and no more and no less to change the name of his domain! We think we are dreaming… but that is the reality. Or when the very fat like to eat very small… or make the fat cabbages of lawyers specializing in (complex) trademark law. Our hearts go out to Domaine Mouton in Burgundy, so that it operates its family estate under its name, and continue to charm us in all serenity with its concentrated and very elegant Givry wines!
