I guess at these levals its what you can negotiate..............but I still struggle with the concept that these producers cannot afford their own wines ? I simply cannot afford to drink at this leval but once in a blue moon I will be tempted by the odd one or two for that............ moment, a 1993 DRC Richebourg still lingers in the memory. cheers Bill, interesting piece I always thought the prices in US reflected the shipping cost and local distribution etc. and was building an argument around this when a quick wine search shows prices in Europe from 488 USD to 942 USD for the #MC Richebourg 2007?
