saw the first 2008 Rougeard's hit the west coast shelves (JJ Buckley) and it was disappointing to see their prices:

Clos - $70
Breze - $100
Poyeaux - $140
Le Bourg - $150

hate to guess what the east coast prices will be...

 

[SFJoe]

ouch.

 

[Salil Benegal]

Sigh.

Was flipping through the TV channels and lo and behold there was the Clos Rougeard label on the screen! It was some crime show about counterfitting and the whole Rudy K. saga. Couldn't figure out why they used the Clos Rougeard image though. Now I'm starting to understand.

I think '97 Bourg was around $40 way back when. Is this importer mark up or are the prices the same at the cellar door?

 

[Keith Levenberg]

I paid $50 as recently as the '02.

 

[SFJoe]

Kay,

I think it is only recently that the wines have sold well in the US. I doubt the importers are gouging.

 

[Sharon Bowman]

They're plenty pricy in France, too.

That's awesome. Congratulations to Nady, Charly, as well as the gang at LDM. The prices are well-deserved. Not that I'm buying.

The '05 poyeaux came in at sub $70 in WA. Not that anyone will be bringing them in these days

For the Bourg? That's an amazing price. As in, no one in the 3 tier system made any money, price.

Altruism is a dying breed...

 

[SFJoe]

Maybe a closeout? As I mentioned, the wines were not so famous then.

 

[SFJoe]

My notes suggest that I paid more for mine.

But the '97s were in Kay's neighborhood.

Yes, for the Bourg, and not a closeout. I used to feel like a genius buying these from west coast shops, where they were significantly cheaper. My CT records show $49.99 from the west coast source and $79 from an east coast shop. Similar story with the '01.

 

[Jeff Grossman]

I don't have much but I did get a deal: '02 regular and Bourg for $40 and $55, '05 Poyeux for $66. Guess it's the last I'll own....

 

[Matt Latuchie]

just found a bunch of 2006 Poyeaux's here in Chicago for $60...felt pretty good about that price.

 

[Cristian Dezso]

By the way, any information about how the currently released and upcoming vintages look for them? I mean 2008, 2009, 2010.

 

[Suzanne Camhi]

bought the 08 regular yesterday for JJB for $38.61 private list special.

 

[Michael Lewis]

What's a good price to pay for the '89 Poyeaux these days? And has anyone tasted it?
