1972 Xavier Vignon

Thanks for the info Tim!

Magnums are now available at Vin Chicago. They’re also offering a 2001 CdP from Xavier to commemorate the birth of his first child.

presumably offering magnums for those who think a recently bottled 1972 isnt aging slowly enough already?

Tim,

I did the same as you and got two bottles from Vin. Saw the latest email and decided to pass on both offers. Too much else out there that I find more interesting. Thanks for the note and will open one of my bottles later this Fall.

I saw two bottles at the Highland Park Vin today in case anyone is curious to try it.

K&L sent out an email about this today. Ships in February; pre-arrival price is $119.99. Since 1972 is my birth year I figured I’d give it a go.

obviously cellartracker can be quite self-reinforcing, but there’s a new review up and it seems to be settling at about the 91.5 score

Any later developments with this or the Ange (2001) bottling? Saw them both at my LWS for reasonable prices (meanwhile I think I saw someone charging $170 for the 1972?)

Yes. I opened a bottle today and drank it. TN should be posted in due course…
