Merci…
Peter. Corton Brother —
I have a bunch of bottles here that are more expensive and more prestigious than the 2009 Faiveley Corton. Perhaps one of them will be better than that bottle, perhaps not. But most of all, I’m excited to bring you the tasting note from the Faiveley bottle. God bless you, good sir!
Hello…PauN. Nice to hear of your statement ( or reply) which is interesting.
That being said, I have problems to understanding what you are trying to say ?
(1) PaulN said : ** a bunch of bottles which are more expensive ***
Peter’s comments : will them taste better then Faiveley 2009 CdCorton 2009 ? I have no idea, please open them and drink them in a pair tasting event with the Faiveley 2009 CdCorotn 2009, then report back.
Love to hear the result !!!
Drinking beautifully. I have visited this domain a couple of times and I really like their wines. Tart, cherry, strawberry jam, gorgeous perfume nose

Anything particularly “2008” about it?
What attributes do 2008 have? This was open and beautiful. PNP, with American Waghu NY strips and oyster mushrooms. I have had some muted 08s awhile back, but this was singing
Hi PaulN…sorry that my message was not clear.
What I mean to say…you should open any one the bottles - which are more expensive - together with the 2009 Faiveley CdCorton…in one same time. Drinking them over the evening and then report back which one you prefer…
Does anyone have recent experiences with 2018s? I have a bottle of 2018 Mugneret-Gibourg Bourgogne and I’m not sure if I should hold it longer. I dont have any experience with this producer so I’m trying to avoid opening this if its shutdown.
2018 BRs are drinking fabulously.

Once again Champagne’s Market in Lafayette, LA delivers a perfectly workmanlike burg which for less than $100 was all I could hope for. A huge bowl of black cherries exploded out of it as I was pouring into the decanter. Big nose of dark cherries, damp earth and dried flowers. On the palate is a big punch of smoke followed by dark fruits, woody spice and a nice acid zing. Fairly light, soft mouthfeel. Tannins present but pleasant and a sufficiently soft. — 89
Interesting this little grocery store has such a big selection of Jadots up and down the line, 6-8 Beaune wines, SLB, stuff that I hadn’t heard of, moving up to Ursules, some GC 1’ers and Corton Pougets, all from recent vintages. Dozens of Jadot bottles, all faced nicely near the front of the store on an aisle-cap. Must be a secret little Jadot fan club here in the heart of Cajun country. Maybe I should open the next bottle with spicy boiled crawfish and boudin?

Had one over the holidays. Drinking well. Improved after couple hours of air.

Wow, Flickinger has a bottle of 2004 Leroy Bourgogne Rouge for $2500. If that’s not a good enough deal for you it also has signs of past seepage.

In case you weren’t aware, there’s always been an intense, cult-like fascination with that particular wine since all the GC grapes went in there.

Leroy bottles were also typically overfilled so signs of past seepage are extremely common and less of a red flag than for other producers. It doesn’t suffer from the typical 2004 greenness; had this last year and it was great.

Sorry for the random reply to this. Have you had the ‘21 Charmes?
Yes, it’s phenomenal. Drinking beautifully early.

I thought all the Grand Cru grapes went into the village wines (Vosne, Gevrey, et al.) in 2004. Maybe the non-designated village grapes went into the Bourgogne?
FWIW I vaguely recall that Leroy’s 2003 Bourgogne was damn good for the $20 price. 
Some of the grand cru grapes went into the village wines, like RSV went into vosne, Musigny went into the chambolle, Chambertin went into the GC, but I believe some went into the Bourgogne like clos vougeot.
Interesting. On release it was very green. At least the one bottle I had
