Bordeaux = Bordèu in gascony …
so “big problems” we write “problèmas polits, bèths, gròses, granàs, grans” as u like in the language that the frenchies displease in París.
When the gascon from Bordèu will act as occitans they will be up for wine, the best in world.
This part of Occitània is one of the most famous [famós in occitan] in the world, but the culture that build this wine is not the french one, it’s the occitan one.
This language, i speak about, have been official until the frenchies arms arrival in 1470 (for law), in 1453 for the army. It has been official as the latin language was.
Please try to read Montaigne or Montesquieu and you will find “gasconism” in the “french” text, a text to explain to frenchies power in town.
Regards,

But RP only hands out three potential top scores, to Mouton Rothschild, La Mission Haut Brion, and Bellevue Mondotte of St. Emilion. Needless to say, none of those were on the Jancis short list. [...]
