A picture shows a bottle of Saint-Emilion grand cru clase "Chateau Cheval Blanc 2010" (L) and a bottle of "Chateau La Tour du Pin" Saint-Emilion 2010 on April 4, 2011 in Saint-Emilion, near Bordeaux, during the week of futures (semaine des primeurs). In following spring after a year's harvest, merchants and trade organization taste samples of wine that is often only 6â8 months old. During the week clients can purchase wines early while a vintage is still in a barrel, offering the customer the opportunity to invest in a particular wine before it is bottled.
