Burghound is very bullish on 2006 – that will cheer up the merchants and producers!
“As Issue 29 will explain, the 2005s are even better than originally previewed and the 2006 is a very good to excellent vintage that is not far behind 2005 in quality. Details within!”
Many critics were cautious (some were dismissive) because they had 2005 stuck in their notebooks, but like I said, better than 2002 at quite a number of address in the Côte de Nuits. If you’re not subscribing, why not? (Avid, not affiliated!)
There is one response to “thumbs up from burghound for 2006”
I barrel sampled many 2006 over the summer and came away with the same feeling as you. I think I am just burned out from the hard negotiation and search for 2005, I am now buying 2002 because they have become a bargain in the US.
