Well, the increases start modestly!

If money was no option, I’d buy Pucelles in mags every year – I’ve never yet met, or even heard of a p.oxed magnum, from anyone – even in ‘off vintages’ at Leflaive this wine excels.

It’s hard to draw conclusions on Leflaive pricing as it goes up and down like a fiddler’s elbow, but these 2012 prices are only very slighly more than was asked for their 2007s, and note that production in 2012 was about 50% of a usual year; I’m feeling that it might be churlish to complain (excessively!)…
