That was the case price…

6 bottles for $559 per bottle

Wow. I paid that for 12!

So, they got into the hype too.

I tend to agree, although this is also true of a number of other wines in the market.

It’s interesting to me to observe all this, as someone who started out exploring wines from the Rhone. For a long time, Cornas was considered by many (most?) collectors
a poor cousin to other appellations such as Hermitage and Cote-Rotie. Even now, the average wine buyer isn’t going to walk into a wine shop and pay these kinds of nosebleed prices
for Cornas just because “Juge” is on the label.

That was the whole jancis spiel as well

Just for the record, the winning bidder was not me.

hmm…case of 2015 Voge (oh, well 11 bottles) that Envoyer just offered, or one mag of Juge?!

I was able to get 1 mag of the 2015. It was $140. Retail release on mags has been between $120 and $140 for a few years.

For the secondary pricing of new release Juge, I don’t understand why the interested buyer isn’t sourcing Verset and Allemand from the 90s.

because you cant send out an Instagram (Or snapchat or whatever cool kids use these days) and get a zillion likes for Verset and Allemand.

sorry necro thread, was looking at old Juge threads after his passing.

Allemand gets more likes than Juge from my own personal experience of posting ;p
