Three Boring Beaunes

Huh?
My meaning was that Vosne tends to be the home of the slick; whereas, Beaune (they rhyme) tends to be the home of the rustic. City mouse, country mouse sort of thing.
Ok. Makes sense.
I thought you were advocating drinking Vosne instead of Beaune. Which may sound like a good idea until one looks at the price tag.

I've been wondering about this. Can we get a confirmation?

I'm mainly a Chambolle and Gevrey guy. There are a couple of producers of Morey that I will buy, a few in Nuits St. Georges, and a couple in Vosne.

Yes. They rhyme.

Why would blandness be enervating?
It's slickness that vexes me.
It vexes me also, but does not enervate. Though thinking about I can't ever recall a slick Beaune.
You don't drink enough negociant wines. I've had some Potel which tended that way. C et B can appear thus in youth.

Which in Vosne? I have had some older ones that I like quite a bit - like some vintages of Meo-Camuzet (not that I can imagine paying the fare for the recent ones). Arnoux too.

Well, I love Cathiard and really like Arnoux.
Almost everything in Vosne is too expensive for me.

I know you've said many times that you don't like Prieure Roch, but the various Vosne wines I've had have been excellent. Not slick. Invigorating.

vosne = grivot, hudelot-noellat (at least until recently), arnoux, liger-belair (well, if I could afford them) and recently clavelier. But most of all grivot.
Girl, you crazy!
Clavelier, I forgot, but yes.
Grivot & Hudelot-Noellat not so much for me, but for different reasons.
Liger-Belair, well someday my price will come.

Maureen - don't like hudelot-noellat anymore?

don't know - haven't had any of the wines since the change in winemaker
and nathan - why am I crazy for liking grivot? he's one of the best winemakers in Burgundy and he's got terrific holdings - that combination produces pretty outstanding wines, imho

Oh, it is just surprising to find Grivot and Truchot in the same person.
Like many others, I've had some pretty unnerving Grivot experiences. I always read your notes with interest and will dive back in at some point, but even if they aren't still Accadicated, they've been blockier than I like.

I am a complex and complicated person!
Try his Boudot or any of his vosne premier crus, especially from 99 forward (altho I like his 96s and 98s too).
