2009 Clos de la Roilette Fleurie

Pinot Noir-based Burgundy presently occupies the prestige space, that's just the way it is.

I need to try some Descombes; I bought a smidgen of 05 Morgon vv, but daren't open it yet.

$30 Beaujolais that tastes like grand cru Burgundy is pretty handy to have around, too.

I prefer $30 Beaujolais that tastes like grand cru Beaujolais.

I'm still bummed that it takes $30 to get Grand Cru Beaujolais. Then again, that strikes me as about fair for premier cru Burgundy. Damn, getting old sucks for a whole variety of reasons.

As SB will tell you, presently is the way it will be.

Separately, a buncha places have had better marketing for a long time than a buncha other places. Ain't no "Beaujolaishound" out there, and there hasn't been the money coming into the AOC to upgrade everyone's quality. Maybe a buncha Burgundy is better.

But we all know that a "cuvee prestige" ain't always so fab.
 
Claude or someone should write that good book on Beaujolais.

No, he shouldn't. Nor should you. Nor should anyone.

Of course, were I one of the producers I'd probably feel differently.
 
I was wondering whether Chambers Street 9/22 shipment of Coudert is the last shipment of the 2009s they are receiving. Trying to reconfigure my finances so I can buy a case before the Tardive is permanently sold out. If there is another shipment coming in after 9/22, it would ease my mind so I can let it sell out and wait for a future shipment of Coudert closer to the end of the year.

Had to look her up because I am not up-to-speed on tea party politics. If she's a Republican, dishonesty is part of her makeup. I thought all Republicans (except Scott) were...

Steven, for me, Beaujolais that tastes like Burgundy is just p&*^% envy (the puritanical streak makes me demure). Burgundy that tastes like Beaujolais, OTOH, is condescension. Vive la tipicit.

Is being shote a bad thing? What does it entail?

Apologies, I meant shotte.

Had to look her up because I am not up-to-speed on tea party politics. And here I was, thinking that all Republicans (except Scott) were dishonest.

Steven, I understand that your unanswerable questions were meant rhetorically, but I see Beaujolais that tastes like Burgundy as just a case of p&*^% envy while Burgundy that tastes like Beaujolais as a strange condescension. I guess the puritanical streak likes certain things in their cubbyholes (unless used by the AOC to stifle experimentation, which the non-puritanical streak appreciates).

It's Keith's fault! Personally, I'm more concerned about getting some of the regular stuff.

Not sure what kind of a thread political name-calling will lead to; apropos the tea party, however, it's worth noting that Jon Stewart has been recorded as an American political force by le Monde: http://clesnes.blog.lemonde.fr/2010/09/18/tea-party-la-gauche-contre-attaque/.

A Democrat is addled and ineffective.

A rich Republican is a cynic and a non-rich one is an idiot.
