No hype; for those interested in the producer, some interesting photos and information. I've never even tasted his wines.

By the way, there's a little thing on Overnoy in Wine Terroirs now.
All we need: more hype.

How about Texier, as another Frenchie hard to find in France?originally posted by georg lauer:
I think that actually quite a few of the producers that excite us here sell more in the US than in Europe. As an example, Marc Ollivier is not sold in Germany at all from what I know. We seem to therefore get pretty good allocations over here, thanks to more crazy drinkers and importers in the US.

I'd rather have soft shell. Oh well.

And not properly acknowledged for the (very high) quality level in the home country, either, so far as I can discern.

I found one of Eric's wines in a shop in Lyon a few years ago - of course, it had a Louis/Dressner import strip on it!

The Franc de Pied that we tasted at Baudry had a Louis/Dressner label.

For some reasons, there's plenty of wines that are easier to find in the US than in France. Two months ago, I was home for a week and I was looking to buy some Fourrier to stock in our cellar in France. This was simply impossible to find ! Some producers I guess simply choose to export the majority of their wine.

Yeah, but France gets the 3.14 and the (relatively) inexpensive Selosse.

Yes you're right Levi. I was not complaining, just surprised !
