The Buyer | Rewind: Michel Rolland on native grapes, natural wine & new Malbec

Michel Rolland, the Bordeaux-based winemaker and oenologist, passed away in the early hours of March 20 at the age of 78. His influence reached all over the world making him arguably the most influential oenologist of the modern era. As a tribute, The Buyer is re-posting an article written by Peter Dean who met him on a typical working visit to London. Condolences to Michel's family and friends.
