Allemand vs. Chave

2015 Balthazar from Juge vines.

Has anybody had this bottling? SommPicks has some bottles and after inquiring they told me the how it came to be. Supposedly Balthazar helped Juge farm/harvest the 2015 vintage and for only this year he put some fruit from Juge vines into a single barrel and labeled it as Cornas (not the Chaillot). Now that Juge has retired he puts the the Juge material into the casimir bottling from 2016-present. Seems pretty unique/cool so I bit on a few. Does anybody have more info or an experience with this…

Your post made me think about these which I had forgotten. I’ve not tried it yet, should probably pull one and give it a go now.
