Nice note Kirk! I picked up a few bottles of late 80’s Lejeune Pommards in an auction a couple of years ago. I forgot about them up until about 6 months ago when I popped one - really really nice surprise after hearing about these from a friend. Anyway, I’m going to drink a few more soon so thanks for reminding me :slight_smile:.

Our local shop has Lejeune. What is the winemaking style like?

Opened a 2022 Bourgogne Les Grandes Carelles tonight. I’m just exploring but at $22 retail this is well done.

I used to love this wine, rather unusual in style with its endless red and black fruit but always a glass of pure pleasure. I haven’t seen it for years.
