My prices weren’t allocated; just regular prices from US retailers. There are much lower prices from
Europe if you don’t want to jump through hoops.
It’s wild that the roumier bm sold that quickly at that price. The roumier amoureuses is very rare which makes some sense. Leon and son was selling it last week for 1k less, though.
Well to say allocations weren’t great would be an understatement. I may get a couple bottles at most, which is fine. Another reminder that Burgundy is just a different animal.
I generally haven’t found allocations from shops to be that useful except for stuff that’s otherwise impossible to get (like wk wines). You can buy almost everything cheaper and more easily from the grey market and certainly cheaper from europe/asia.
Should be around $2200. Allocation pricing was better a couple of years ago when they were lower and were trading higher. Right now it’s about a wash with backfilling from auction.
