"Sanity Returns to Bordeaux Pricing"

[Marshall_Gelb]

@John Tomasso

I still want to drink Bordeaux, but not at those prices. I’ll drink down my cellar, and look for gems like Ch Peybonhomme Le Tours.

I would have to agree with John…the wines might drop a bit but “sane” levels for the big boys is a pipe dream. I am lucky enough to have a sufficient quantity to last me a “few” years.


Cheers!

In Burgundy at least most of the price gauging is not being done by the domaines.

So you like to be selective in whom you allow to gauge you?

Right or wrong it does seem to matter. Plus if you buy consistently you can build sources with fair pricing.

This was the subject line of a recent merchant offering for 2011 Bordeaux futures. One of the offerings was 2011 Mouton Rothschild for $530, with a listed WA barrel score range of 93-96. Thank goodness for sanity!

If that is sane, I am never purchasing wine again.

I guess I am hapy I got into wine when I did. I have a decent amount of First growths in the cellar, and I know now that they will never be replaced. Once they are drunk, they are gone forever. 1996 LAfite for $200, 1996 Mouton for $133 which included tax and shipping. No one will ever be able to buy for similar kinds of prices ever again.

Look at the bright side: You have a lifetime supply of First Growths!
