Well, Chateau d'Arlay is just pretty big. Seems quite touristy in summer, but they have plenty to sell.

I was told at the Perce du Vin Jaune two years ago that they'd been bought by Henri Maire. Did you see any stylistic change in recent cuves as opposed to older ones?

You make an excellent point.

Oh, yes? I didn't know.

Ah, but you were the reason I discovered Wine therapy, Levi!

I wrote about it then.

I would not be able to tell since I only had a single of their wines before, at Joe Perry's great VJ tasting (which was actually the ultimate cause for this trip). I am also not sure we got many of the wines made under new leadership since this was the only place we visited that offered a large variety of older vintages, on which I focussed.

Cool, especially with the pics! I can always live vicariously...
