Bordeaux Oxygene Will Produce Charity Wine

I've seen whiskeys for charity that blend the work of a variety of different distilleries but now wine from Bordeaux will get the same treatment. It sounds risky but when such a wine is in the hands of Michel Rolland, the world's most prolific wine consultant, risky gets intriguing. The charity wine will be an equal mixture of 17 wine properties that are part of the 18-member wine group Bordeaux Oxygene. The wine, which will be dubbed Oxygen, uses the 2005 vintage from member chateaux, including Clos Fourtet in St Emilion and Chateau Thieuly in the Bordeaux Superieur region. Only one property was left out, Chateau Nairac, which produces sweet white Sauternes. The wine will officially be dubbed a Vin de Table and will be sold at auctions starting in October. There will be 80 double magnums total.
