So "vieilles vignes" as a marketing tool in the U.S., but not France?

In this case yes. He specified that it was at the request of the importer.

Those scheming importers, always working the angles. They're almost as bad as scientists.

Of course, but I find it bitterly ironic that an individual that this country has long vilified as a "nutcase" poses the question in a cogent and -- dare I say? -- eloquent way, and has chosen to do so in a newspaper editorial in said country.

I guess he has been in isolation too long. Away from the constant crazy and uneducated(world view is what I'm shooting for here) makes a rationally smart person come to a sane and sober understanding. Not there is a real solution here.

Sorry for the thread drift, but we opened a magnum of 2002 Burgaud Morgon (with a funny sub-name like 'Roches Sauvages,' or something similar) for Christmas 2007 that was excellent - balanced, poised, delicious fruit, a suspicion of candy but not off-putting. Any wood was fully integrated. My best BJ to that point in time and something of a revelation. Previously, I'd tried a younger 750 of one of his other bottlings, which was merely decent and too woody.

Burgaud SpeaksI received a response from Msr. Burgaud and it appears that the cuvee I purchased "Cote du Py VV" is the same as the "Cote du Py" in Europe. (I.E. it is not what is known in Europe as "Cote du Py Reserve").
He said that he changed the name and the color of the label for the American importer who wanted it to say "Vieilles Vignes" and who wanted the label in blue. He said he did not do anything different with the elevage for the American importer.
Mystery solved?
Damn importers: give 'em an inch, they take a mile.
