envoyer is offering 2016 Domaine Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules at a really nice price on prearrival. Once shipping is included, however, I just can’t justify it. But if you are out west maybe it makes more sense
We bought some .375’s of 2007 Labegorce for $20 and had our first one over the weekend. Unheralded producer in Bordeaux. Unheralded vintage. Darned good wine. Love how that works out sometimes!
375’s of Bordeaux are one of the great joys of life.
Andrew, they last as long as 750’s for all practical purposes, as long as they started out proper.
PCLIN, I bought a case of the 85 Las Cases in 375’s back in the 90’s, and they’ve been fantastic. Well done on the 82’s.
My advice to younger drinkers (sadly I’m not in that category), is to buy bdx on release in half bottles. You will not regret it.
This chimes well with me, I have a fair quantity of Cantemerle, Batailley and Langoa Barton in 375s from numerous vintages. I can pull the cork from a bottle that will give great satisfaction without having to stop and think about whether I should save it for another day.
No yet, will ship back sometimes this year. The case has been stored in-bond in UK, so I am comfortable with the provenance. I have not tasted a ‘82 LLC for a long time, previously I had always preferred ‘85 and ‘89 vintages
