I'm just glad he doesn't make red Burgundy....
Michel Rolland
Yes he has been an agent for improved quality in wine making around the world, BUT his influence has become so large that the result is a massve shift in the way wines taste today; away from distictiveness and towards homogeneity. One can argue that his legions of customers are no longermaking their own wine, they are instead making Michel Rolland wines.
I agree with the sentiment expressed in Mondovino , this man can be likened to the Pied Piper, and winemakers are following the tune of high RMP points. Only thing the winemakers forget, is what happened to the mice.

Sadly consumers are falling for the RMP points like, well, the Pied Piper rats. Following this route we'll get wines that taste exactly the same, like McDonalds food, but at somewhat swankier prices.
You are right Gollygumdrops. Thankfully there are a growing number of imprters/merchants that shun the RMP points and offer wines in direct opposition to this trend,in the name of uniqueness, diversity and terroir.
