A Motorway through Margaux vineyards?

French authorities will decide this month on a new motorway and a high-speed rail link that could cut through the area's iconic vineyards. Government officials argue that the project is crucial to relieve the heavily congested Bordeaux-Spain route, and reject fears of an adverse environmental impact, claiming that other fine appellations have managed to co-exist well with a motorway nearby. |
