I tried the Chermette nouveau and wasn't that impressed. The DuPeuble is surpringly good.

I had the exact opposite experience. I found the Vissoux VV to be excellent.

The Tradition is fantastic. I've never been overly wowwed by the Cru wines.

Interesting. That's what makes boreds tick. We often agree and then there's the outlier we can discuss.

When I first tasted these back before the holidays I thought the Dupeuble was very nice and the Chermette not so great, so I was with Cory there. Based on January's tasting the Dupeuble has stayed nice (unpretentious palate, inspiring aromatics) but meanwhile the Chermettes that were open at the party were slammin'. But anyway, this is a regular experience of mine with Vissoux wines, they vary a lot from occasion to occasion. Maybe not as much as Puzelat, but still.

I've had my fair share of variation with Vissoux, as with all wines. But they've always struck me as relatively stable and with plenty of sulfur. I.E. not susceptible to all the problems of the low sulfur wines.

I agree with you about that, Rahsaan. Also, the good Chermettes and the great ones have tasted very similar to one another - dead opposite to, say, Puzelat's Brin du Chevre bottling, which has been brilliant for me sometimes but which is not always recognizable as the same wine from bottle to bottle.
Maybe the distance between merely correct fruit and vivid, glorious fruit in the same general wine profile is not that far apart. I'm a great believer in bottle variation and variation of the wine in the bottle over time, regardless.
