offer of the day – william fevre 2020

By billn on April 15, 2022 #the market

From my usual Swiss importer source. The prices of the 2019s, 2018s, 2017s, 2016s and 2015s from previous years are in brackets for you to compare (— means not offered).

DOMAINE WILLIAM FEVRE CHABLIS 2020
CHABLIS Village 75cl 24.00 (—, 22.00, 22.00, 22.00, 19.00) Swiss Francs*
PREMIERS CRUS
CHABLIS Vaillons 75cl 42.00 (39.50, —)
CHABLIS Montmains 75cl 42.00 (—)
CHABLIS Montée de Tonnerre 75cl 54.00 (49.50, 48.00, 48.00, 45.00, 42.00)
GRANDS CRUS
CHABLIS Preuses 75cl 79.50 (79.50, 78.00, 78.00, 75.00, 65.00)
CHABLIS Preuses 150cl — (—, 161.00, —)
CHABLIS Bougros Côtes de Bouquerots 75cl 84.00 (84.00, 79.00, 79.50, 79.00, 65.00)
CHABLIS Les Clos 75cl 105.00 (98.00, 94.00, 89.00, 89.00, 75.00)
CHABLIS Les Clos 150cl 225.00 (211.00, 193.00, —)

The first two grand crus holding (price) station – but not the Clos! Considering that 2020 at all the Chablis domaines is sold out, and that most of the (short-vintage) 2021s are already reserved, these prices seem to exhibit quite some restraint!
*The prices are ‘delivered’ but will attract another 7.7% Swiss purchase tax.

offer of the day – Christophe Perrot-Minot 2019…

By billn on March 23, 2022 #the market

2019 Perrot-MinotOnce more, just to give you that fuzzy and warm feeling that you could buy these – if you really wanted!

As usual, the prices are delivered in Switzerland – but here, include purchase tax. Note that these are special introductory prices – the price goes up at the end of the offer 🙂 In the brackets – 2018, then 2017 & 2016 prices and — indicates not offered:

VINS ROUGES
Bourgogne Gravières des Chaponnières 2019 75cl 52.65* (—) (*Swiss Francs)

Gevrey-Chambertin Justice des Seuvrées 2019 75cl 171.00 (117.00, 120.60, 94.50)
Morey Saint-Denis En la Rue de Vergy 2019 75 cl 171.00 (—)
Nuits St-Georges 1er ‘Les Murgers des Cras’ 2019 75cl 171.00 (117.00, 120.60, 100.80)
Vosne-Romanée Ormes des Chalendins 2019 75cl 189.00 (135.00, 138.60, —)
Chambolle-Musigny Orveaux des Bussières 2019 75cl 220.50 (135.00, 138.60, —)

Vosne-Romanée Les Champs Perdrix Vieilles Vignes 2019 75cl 240.00 (170.00, 156.60, 128.70)
Morey Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Riotte Vieilles Vignes 2019 75cl 265.00 (171,00, 174.60, 163.80)
Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts Vieilles Vignes 2019 75cl 395.00 (240.00, 249.00, 193.50)
Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées 660.00 (—) 2019 75cl
Chambolle-Musigny Combe d’Orveau 1er Cru “Ultra” Vieilles-Vignes 2019 75cl 660.00 (375.00, 389.00, —)
Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru La Richemone “Ultra” Vieilles Vignes 2019 75cl 594.00 (337.50, 389.00, 385.00)

Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2019 75cl 679.50 (425.00, 444.00, 420.00)
Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2019 75cl 679.50 (382.50, 444.00, 420.00)
Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2019 75cl 679.50 (382.50, 444.00, 420.00)

There are 3 more grand crus; Griotte, Bèze & Chambertin but all are ‘price on application.’ These increases are anyway as ‘punchy’ as I have seen from anyone and given that Christophe puts his wines on the market later than most others, then he’s benefitting from the price increases of the 2020s (and then some!) already with his 2019s!

*As noted, these are delivered prices, but this email offer is discounted – whatever is sold from their normal catalogue is at a higher price – typically about 10% more…

Well-done to the Saint Vincent…

By billn on March 21, 2022 #events#the market

After 4 years of preparation, multiple adaptations for health requirements, and despite the economic and geopolitical context, the collective effort of organisers from Blagny, Corpeau & Puligny-Montrachet delivered a great 78th Saint-Vincent Tournante. Given the later than intended start, it also seems that these guests enjoyed better weather than anyone can remember. The organisers have announced that they had welcomed around 50,000 visitors, including 17,000 tasters. Bravo!

As announced by the Grand Master of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin: ‘See you for the 79th Saint-Vincent Tournate in 2023 in Couchey!

2000 Burgundy – en primeur tasting

By billn on January 21, 2022 #degustation#the market

Yes, you read that right – 2000 – only my second diary ‘post’ on this website – 20 years ago today (near-enough) with cameos from Jancis and Joanna Simon.

I was happy with the wines that I decided to buy that year – if only three from this address and at this stage. I remember being able to buy all that I wanted in both 1999, and in 2000 too. Come to think about it, the first time where I got ‘blocked’ – despite having bought the same wines since 1999 – was the 2005 vintage. I cancelled the remainder of my order in a fit of pique!

lambraysIf I search hard, maybe a lone bottle of the 2000 Engel remains – but none of the Clavelier or the Lambrays – the Lambrays was disappointing when delivered as it was far oakier than the en-primeur sample. It was fine after 7-8 years though.

But what about those prices – eh? The Engel was the same price as I paid for my 1999s. The Clos de Tart was already quite expensive and starting something of an upward surge – £52 in 2000 but already £71 in the 2001 vintage where I (still) bought a measly 3! And 2000 Rousseau Bèze for £60 anybody? With 20:20 hindsight I’d be able to replace my Aston-Martin every couple of years by selling 3 or 4 cases. Oh, sorry. I meant my Subaru – though it has just completed its 500,000-kilometre service!
