Me three. I only devote cellar space to Grezeaux, Guillot, and Croix Boissee. I'm not the biggest Cab Franc drinker, though. Would gladly drink the other wines at a restaurant, etc.
this is fine on paper but, despite what Matthieu says, these things are never ready. I would not want to have missed out on the experiences of drinking 06 Domaine bottling around 2012 or the 07 at the age of ten. Heck, I recently had 2011 Granges that had beautifully resolved secondary fruit that accompanied roast boston butt perfectly if you were in the mood for cab franc with the dish. On the other hand, something possessed me to remove cork from 09 Guillot last year ( a great great wine, has to be one of the best reds made in europe in 2009 ), that gave me the middle finger.
then this guy who calls himself Jayson drops by my house one day, singing epic tolkienesque songs about a 10 croix boissee he just had at a tasting. with some haste, i poured him something sufficiently old. he is feeling much better now, and is back to making invaluable contributions to this bored.
