Try the 1997 some time.
Am I supposed to have that with unicorn tartare?

My Cornas started with Verset, thus aimable was never part of the equation. I discovered Juge after that and Clape. Maybe because of where I started, nothing has ever struck the same profound chord with me that Verset can.
Yes, yes and yes.
I started with a young Clape and wasn't impressed. Then I had a Voge with some age and thought it was nice but not worth seeking out. Then VLM opened a 1994 Allemand at Inside and I was overwhelmed. Then I tried some Verset, ditto.
Then Allemand prices started creeping up. Then Verset stopped making wine.
Drat.

Good thing we still have St Josephs. Though I imagine I'll get priced out fairly soon.
Gonon, it was fun while it lasted.
One of the reasons I'm looking into Levet.

Don't take my word for it. I shared my last bottle of '97 Gasse St-Joseph with Jamie Goode!
Click!
St. John is Journeyman East?
bottles of 99 CR available or 97 St. Jo?

One of the best-farmed plots in St-Joseph, by the way.
Along with Damien Laureau and Clos Roche Blanche, one of my benchmarks for viticulture.
WOW. You certainly got my attention. Laureau in the same breath as Didier? I've never been to the vineyards, just tasted the wines.

Says the man who made the only Cornas pretty enough to make me cry. Him and Vincent Gasse were what I started with.

The Gasse I know was Lafoy et Gasse in Cote-Rotie. Amazingly inconsistent, sometimes beautiful wines.
For me, it was Clape, Verset, Voge and Juge, all basically at the same time. I'd troll the aisles of Garnet looking for new releases, probably engaging in conversation with the likes of Lillie, Wolf or Callahan without even knowing it (not that those names would have meant anything to me back then).

He would have remembered.
If he was lucky. Kane had worse to offer in those days.originally posted by VLM:

Nope. That I had to leave to you youngsters. I was long gone before the Kane era.

He came from a farming family in Versailles and is very intuitive. The banner picture on our website is that of his hands showing me some of his massale plants. The winemaking was probably uneven at the start (I've had every vintage), and I still think there's sometimes too much oak on Le Bel Ouvrage (hey, it sells). 2008-2010 were very strong vintages for him, we'll see about 2011.

Good to know, the only one I tried, two years ago, had too much wood (I remember you already "defended" him back then).

Bring one down when you come for the World Cup. The one I had was an 08 Les Genets.
