Nice article, Siegfried, but it saddens me to learn that the Beau' Nouvou race is in decline.
Meanwhile - talking of 1985 - did you ever get to see that great 'Bleriot' series of posters put on display that year at every 'Threshers' (& Selfridges) outlet throughout the UK...?

I've got the whole lot (3 + counter card) - and can gladly e-mail you JPEG copies, if you like.
They've got to be collector material.

I think it important to note that the quality of BN deteriorated apace with it's increasing popularity--and production. Far from a 'light and fruity' wine, most BN we saw here was, by the time we got it, small and acidic. The largest producer's label became more of a warning sign than a positive brand. And all that happened as consumers bought more and more actual 'light and fruity' wines.
