I'm in Salil's camp of really loving the '07 Croix Boissee, but I won't be buying the '09 ($40) given that I can get '09 Grezeaux for so much less ($26).
Hopefully that's clear enough.

Not to mention the different expression. It took me a while to come around to the idea that Croix Boissee is the finer wine, because I started out loving the Grezeaux so much. But I still think mainly of them as two different vineyards.

It's not like we've tasted any G that's aged well.

Don't care if G is for the ages. Need something to drink now anyway.

So if CB's there to be aged and G's for the shorter term, when do we drink the Franc de Pied?

Soonish per the absent Monkey. I'd caution that a bottle last Sunday didn't impress, much to my chagrin.originally posted by Salil Benegal:

In anecdotal quantities.originally posted by Rahsaan:
Speaking of franc de pied, has anyone tasted the Chidaine Les Bournais Franc de Pied? Does it get imported to the US?
It's very good, but it's lunatic expensive.

2009?

The bottle I had was the 2009. The VLM-TR recommends drinking the Pied Franc in "it's exuberant youth.".originally posted by Oswaldo Costa:

Well, at least it's very good!

Hmm, I have two, so will sacrifice one soon in the name of monkey science.

I would like to see both Grezeaux and CB age well, because obviously they are very different expressions. Domaine is for drinking early (except in 2005) and so is Granges (except in 2009). Can't think of a better CF drink on or close to release than 2006 Granges.

Sorry to be unclear, I'll try again: what I see 09 Croix Boisee priced at is about 60% more than what I paid for the 07 Croix Boissee.
$51??
I see it around for $39.

But what do you mean by 'for the ages?' The 09 Grezeaux we opened a couple of months ago didn't hit stride until the the fourth day after opening. Everyone knows that cellar development duration is directly proportional to development time straight from the bottle when young (yes, joking). Based on that sample, in any event, I won't be opening another Grezeaux for several years now.

Well, not quite lunatic .... but i think we all agreed that it was a beautiful bottle of wine.
As did the '89.originally posted by Jay Miller:

I mention only the '09. Which is delicious. I originally planned to age a case, but now I think I will cut that in half because I think there is more fruit than structure.
