1999 Fourrier, Gevrey-Chambertin Vieille-Vigne Medium ruby-red. A nose that starts deep and surprisingly oaky given that there’s normally a maximum of 20% in this cellar – but it’s short-lived before fading into redder, layered fruit overlaid by higher toned alcoholic aspects, maybe even an… Read More
the week’s second from fourrier
I’m hoping that the remnants of this one will taste a little better tonight… 2001 Fourrier, Chambolle-Musigny Gruenchers Medium-pale ruby-red colour.

2007 à trois – with good, bad & ugly corks!
2007 Lignier-Michelot, Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles-Vignes Oops – a cork that slides out way too easily – I’m almost surprised that the worm of the corkscrew didn’t push it deeper into the neck! It’s one of those, not very attractive, pale-looking things – it looks peroxide washed. Given… Read More

This email just landed in my inbox. It seems we are getting ever-closer to the £100 villages wine – from a vintage of modest repute too – so is that over £350 in a restaurant? When, then, am I supposed to drink all of my Clos St.Jacques and Griotte from… Read More
