2020 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, Château Tour de Capet, Bordeaux, France

Château Tour de Capet lies to the south of Saint-Émilion, near Saint-Hippolyte, just below its sister estate Château Capet-Guillier. Since 2009 the property has been run by Antoine Moueix Propriétés, a négociant with over a century’s experience working in Bordeaux’s Right Bank. The wine is made by Christophe Grenier and benefits from the immense experience of renowned winery consultant Stéphane Derenoncourt.

Château Tour de Capet comprises 10 hectares of vines planted on a combination of sand, loam and clay which, combined with the loose structure of the soil, lends itself to a lighter style of Bordeaux. The estate’s vineyards are also farmed using a ‘zero residue’ policy which prohibits the use of herbicides.

The final wine is a blend of 90% Merlot with 10% Malbec fermented in concrete tanks with four to five days of skin maceration, aided by regular punch downs. Aged for 12 months in French oak, around one-third of which is new, Château Tour de Capet perfectly marries dark berry flavours with subtle hints of tobacco and spice, balanced on the palate by vibrant acidity and velvety tannins.

Chances are there wasn't collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn't a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It's content strategy gone awry right from the start. Forswearing the use of Lorem Ipsum wouldn't have helped, won't help now. It's like saying you're a bad designer, use less bold text, don't use italics in every other paragraph. True enough, but that's not all that it takes to get things back on track.

The villagers are out there with a vengeance to get that Frankenstein

You made all the required mock ups for commissioned layout, got all the approvals, built a tested code base or had them built, you decided on a content management system, got a license for it or adapted:

  • The toppings you may chose for that TV dinner pizza slice when you forgot to shop for foods, the paint you may slap on your face to impress the new boss is your business.
  • But what about your daily bread? Design comps, layouts, wireframes—will your clients accept that you go about things the facile way?
  • Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever.
  • Not so fast, I'd say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.
  • Websites in professional use templating systems.
  • Commercial publishing platforms and content management systems ensure that you can show different text, different data using the same template.
  • When it's about controlling hundreds of articles, product pages for web shops, or user profiles in social networks, all of them potentially with different sizes, formats, rules for differing elements things can break, designs agreed upon can have unintended consequences and look much different than expected.

This is quite a problem to solve, but just doing without greeking text won't fix it. Using test items of real content and data in designs will help, but there's no guarantee that every oddity will be found and corrected. Do you want to be sure? Then a prototype or beta site with real content published from the real CMS is needed—but you’re not going that far until you go through an initial design cycle.
