Lafarge, on the other hand, increasingly strikes me as a producer who makes the same wines regardless of vintage and makes wines that take too long for me. The Lafarge Bourgognes are just too hard for my taste, although I will finish off the '07s I just bought and will not, I suppose, just pour them down the sink.

Whereas my experience has shown high variation. They hit 1993 the way Roumier hit 1995 whereas those few 2000s I've tried have been disappointing for that usually friendly vintage.

Yeah....made the mistake of opening '98 Chenes today...give it 15 more years...

Ouch.

A lot of waiting!

Lafarge never seems to be ready - that said, the 96 chenes someone opened for me a couple of months ago was surprisingly open - and almost jammy! Lafarge!

?????? Is this some inside joke?

Sorry, Maureen, it was. Long story.

(I've actually been drinking both the '04 Rousseau Lavaux St. Jacques and '04 Mugnier Clos de la Marchale and enjoying them both.)

We missed you tonight. The skin contact s.b. showed really well. But so did the Allemand and the Cathiard RSV.

And the food at Rue was on. IMO.
