Overpriced and not in the same league as Roumier or DRC!!!
My immediate cogent comment is ‘No’ ! That’s also polite. Plenty of not so polite words come to mind. OB’s pricing ambitions for me have always been ludicrous from his Burgundy ‘get go’ – and that was when he was buying fruit. I’ve never been remotely tempted to try his wines even if they are as ‘good’ as his pricing might ‘suggest’ – which have to say I doubt. I wonder how much of the price is accounted for by the wooden case – perhaps the wooden cases are particularly ‘special’ from a notable wood, from notable forest terroirs and bio dynamically grown 😉 ! A parting thought – perhaps DRC should review their pricing (I have ‘no skin’ in the DRC ‘game’ !).
