had another wonderful bottle (alas my last one) of Jacqueson Rully Les Cloux 1999. Fresh strawberries, some spices, very tactile and smooth on the palate: a deliciously fresh and enticing red Burgundy. It benefited enormously from airing and was at its best after 6 hours.

Funnily, the back label said that the wine can be held for up to 5 years. Shows that even winemakers can misjudge their wines.

Side question: has anyone more info in the Domaine de Chvremont set-up? It was created in 2003 and seems to cover the same wines. I thought it was set up by Paul Jacqueson when his father formally retired but I have since also seen the classical Henri and Paul Jacqueson label.

We have all been guilty in the last 20 or so years of underestimating the staying power of red Burgundy.

As for Domaine de Chevremenont, Clive Coates suggests (without specifically stating) in his new Wines of Burgundy that they are one and the same. (I confess, I've never visited Jacqueson, although I admire the wines enormously.) It is not uncommon to have the same wine under two labels for tax reasons.
