[Bryan Garcia]

Producers, vintages, tasting experiences. Deposit all knowledge here.

Nay. Open that glass back up, Dougherty. Esp. older fare.

Domaine de la Pinte, Fruitière de Voiteur, Caveau de Bacchus, Berthet-Bondet...

Overnoy is Overnoy, it's amazing stuff. Gahier makes the best recent stuff not Overnoy. Puffeney is great, but if you can find his oddball bottlings (Oubliée etc.) get those. For the money Tournelle can't be beat.

 

[Levi Dalton]

Right, Macle.

I don't know I forgot that.

I would add d'Arlay.

 

[Sharon Bowman]

Cory, Tournelle is awesome. But for older bottlings, you have to look to old school producers.

Vin jaune, you don't want young.

i'm not sure how much i agree with your statement.

 

[Levi Dalton]

A recent young Ganevat Vin Jaune was just absolutely wonderful.

 

[Sharon Bowman]

I really suppose it depends what you're looking for.

As an example, a recent 1999 Overnoy Vin Jaune, yes, you can taste the "quality," but man... a shame to open it now. And not showing the tenth of something far older of even a lesser producer.

And older producers are not bad shakes.

opening a jaune from overnoy is never a shame. never.
what older producers?

 

[Sharon Bowman]

Some of the ones I cited earlier.

Not your Bornard, Brignot, Bindernagel, Octavin, you know, stuff GG loves. (Joke.)

 

[Levi Dalton]

I think different folks are making Vin Jaune in different styles, and some of those (the minority) may be better drunk young.

 

[Sharon Bowman]

Levi, that is interesting.

Do you mean the ones you praise, such as Ganevat, or others?

could you elaborate a bit on those stylistic choices?
