First, Clive on 2004 – I feel my wrists being slapped…! 😉
Second, one wonders why he was able to accumulate so much – but hey – it’s just another profit…
Third, what really is this UNESCO thing?
Fruit set is also plentiful in Beaune 1er cru "Les Grèves". Loose clusters & zero disease pressure makes me happy 😀 pic.twitter.com/IodptdudA2

wines from prince merode – for a bonne (e)chère(?)
Want to stock up on the fore-runner of DRC Corton? – actually not so easy as it sounds, as there’s no Corton for sale! But anyway (details…) potentially some well priced bottles here:
PS – Thanks to Jon Wyand for the tip-off!
mr halliday’s scoring – yes but…
Halliday on (some) Nicolas Potel.
Yes, I liked it too, but 96 points for 2011 Suchots? What space does that leave for really good wines?
Sorry, but ridiculous, or was James scoring in the context of Australian pinot? Not that I’m stirring the pot… 😉
catching up on the news…
Just back from skiing and there are few things worth reading:
Victoria Moore on Burgundy 2012
Jancis, also on 2012
And some tweets too!

poster-girl…
I sat with Axelle last week during lunch, but didn’t realise that she was a poster-girl…
Spotted this evening on Facebook, picture by Thomas Nègre:
tidbits…
A couple of interesting news stories on the wires this morning:
1. Drouhin ex-cellar sale
2. Chanson’s Clos des Mouches obliterated – it was the same for Domaine du Pavillon (Bichot), though Drouhin and a couple of others were able to find enough in-tact grapes to make some wine.
Re the appended pic – I really can’t understand why they didn’t contact me first, the organising committee of the St.Vincent would then have known to choose another day – I have my annual ski-race that day, so will have to miss it. Still, it’s not often that you get a bit of Hollywood in St.Aubin! 🙂
