Christian Ducroux Régnié 2011

Had the same experience with the '11 Raisins Gaulois this week. Pure joy in a bottle. I had to look around and make sure no one was sneaking around my kitchen for there I was, home alone trying to pour another small glass from an empty bottle, in an alarmingly short amount of time.

And there's a succinct definition of glou-glou for whoever was recently seeking it.

Christian Ducroux Régnié 2011Wow. Joyful. Makes me forget about hurricanes and tumors for a bit.
Thank you Mr Ducroux and David Lillie for getting it here.
Go try some yourself, you won't regret it. Under $15, crazy.
Love the wines as well....always wondered how/whether these things will age?...I only have 09/10/11, so not much of a track record consuming and watching the development of them myself.

Mark, I can tell you I will never find out myself. I think the wine is perfect for drinking now. I would be curious to see, especially the 09 vintage. The '11 is magical and alive, such a pure expression of the fruit. I don't know if it's the farming, or semi carbonic technique described here previously, or lack of sulfur, or a combination of those things, but I was very impressed.
Off topic, have you had a chance to try the Fernando de Castilla Antique sherry that Eric P was selling? The Palo Cortado especially sounded interesting.

Impressive what one can do with rotten grapes and smart winemaking. True "Chauvet" wine.

there's a lot more in Ducroux wines than the glouglou factor... IMO
Agree

Haven't tried these yet - I bought them, twice, however. I'm curious how our favorite Sherry will be priced when the masses start reading Peter Liem's new book.

I don't think you need to stay up at night worrying about this.

If they can get through the abysmal typesetting. Really a shame, it's a wonderful book so far.
