Affaire Faiveley
1993 suspected the wine guru Robert M. Parker in his Wine Buyer 's Guide that Faiveley lower quality wines than the exported offered before in the cellar tasting. This led to the " Affaire Faiveley " Parker and his publisher Simon and Schuster were indicted in Paris before the " tribunal de grande instance " for libel. The case was settled out of court because Faiveleys U.S. importer stored the bottles at up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and thereby caused the loss of quality. Parker sent his colleagues since 1997 Pierre -Antoine Rovani for tasting of Burgundy wines to France.
