Beaujolais ‘has a big role to play in China’

China’s dwindling economy could help stabilise its wine market and see it being a new devotee of Beaujolais and white Burgundy according to Louis Latour’s export director, Mark Allen. Since Maison Latour acquired Brouilly-based Henry Fessy in 2008, the négociant has concentrated on making Beaujolais wines more recognizable in China as well as bolstering its portfolio of white Burgundy in the country renowned for its love of red, reported export director, Mark Allen.
