Do you know anything about the wine?
Just info I found on the board and a few reports by WK on the Wine Advocate; I have not tried any of their wines, but consensus is the quality at the domaine has been improving steadily (due to changes in winemaking and farming) since the brothers took over. The wines will probably require a few years to integrate, however (noticeable oak and reduction in their youth + 2022 vintage). The wines are bottled under natural cork, so premox is potentially an issue.

Some highlights:
2001 Drouhin Musigny $990

lots of others
Yes, I just saw that and purchased a 2022 Ramonet CM Ruchottes for $315
Slightly tempted by the ‘08 Mugnier Les Fuees and the mag of 22 Lignier MSD 1er Cru VV
I do think Mugnier is better in less ripe vintages. We had the 09 Fuees (blind to others) this year and I felt like it wasn’t as precise as I would have liked.
how long does vins rare typically take with their pre arrival stuff?
Depends, can be 1-3 months, you can email Bryan and ask, info@vinsrare.com

How was it?
Perfect cork.
Dried cranberries and cherry on the nose with a touch of earthiness and tobacco. Still some fresh red fruit, leans raspberry, but a pretty full body. Muscular for it’s age.
Good heads up on vinsrare. Some Guffens Heynen and Ramonet for my last purchase of 2025.
Ha. we’ll see about that over the next 12 hours.
The price on Egly VP at vins rare is pretty good too
And the Egly rosé price also is good . . . a bit of drift . . . Rue Pinard keeps coming up as cheapest for a number of champagnes. Anybody know them?
They are another one of those livex arbitrage shops; I’d avoid. The final prices will also be subject to tariffs and tax.
