Except for the real expensive stuff (and even those sometimes),
they are usually thin, and lacking in fruit.

At least that's what I'm finding out after opening a few bottles
I just bought in Bordeaux.

So, you judge the entire French wine industry on a handful of Bordeaux
wines - whilst ignoring Burgundy, the Rhone, Alsace; the Loire; Champagne;
Bandol; Cahors; etc etc etc.

So, what did you buy - some very cheap, nasty, basic stuff which abounds
under 000's of labels - or something vaguely recognisable?

Perhaps you have an interest in your local wine industry, and think that we
should ignore the very French influence apparent in so many Chilean wines!

I too have experienced some pretty crappy stuff, from Bordeaux (and Chile,
Australia, yes, even New Zealand!!!) - but, hey - I purchased it - it is my
fault if I don't do the homework first.

I blame myself - not the entire winemaking industry!
