Ollivier is a young and vigorous fellow no older than I am.originally posted by Yule Kim:
RetirementsI remember hearing Bossard was thinking of retiring soon and now I just learned about Bregeon (so I guess there will be no more Gorges). Is Ollivier nearing retirement as well? How about Landron and Luneau-Papin?
Luneau has a son who is very active in the biz. Landron's moustache might seem a great burden, but he seems to bear it with great energy.
Glad to hear it! Nice to know I can look forward to many more vintages of these producers' wines.
Except that they're all woefully underpriced. It can't continue forever - how many young folks want to be underpaid for the rest of their lives?

I don't think anyone ever actively wants to be underpaid (I'm an academic afterall!) but it's not always easy to change the situation.

Likewise, I think that one can choose a lesser-paying profession (*cough* academics) because of one's love of the work rather than out of a desire for money. Hopelessly naive, I know...

Had no idea. I was going to say that someone opened up a '91 Pepiere a year or so ago and it blew me away. I had never had a muscadet that old before. I guess it shouldn't surprise me that there was some Briords in there. Thing was damn structured. Whenever I think about the 'muscadet ain't for aging' argument, that's what I think about. Well, that and the mag of '96 Louvetrie (Landron) Fief du Briel. Whew. When that baby opened up... It was damn good.originally posted by SFJoe:
'91 is a decoy, you know. Big frost year, so the Briords is in the regular.
Had the '91 at a Bar Tartine jeebus several years ago. Jay Miller was there and local friends of his brought that.
It was stupendicular!
