Jay, I think you've got a thing for Volnay.
Who doesn't?
Volnay, meh.

Not sure I understand this comment. You're saying that global warming is destroying the quality of Volnay?
Of the major villages in the Côte d'Or, Volnay probably is the best situated to resist global warming because it is a relatively cold climate. Look at 2003 where, IMO, it was overall the most successful village. And 2002, where the vintage was probably just a tad too ripe for true overall Côte d'Or greatness, it is arguably the greatest Volnay vintage of recent times.

I'm with you - not to say I don't like volnay bt just so long as it's not served with "comparable" CdN wines - then I find the volnays to be noticeably less precise. Well, perhaps except for d'angerville.
But I do think volnay was better when it was cheaper. That is, how it was priced vis a vis CdN premier crus. Wineboards (not this one) have made volnay "cool" (perhaps because, like merlot, it's a name easy to pronouce!) and therefore overpriced relatively and generally speaking.

Claude,
Sorry, VLM and I will take it outside next time. Although he is considerably bigger than I am.
Honestly, I am not sure I want to go down this road about Volnay, because it is so extremely subjective that it will only get me in trouble.
Suffice to say that I believe that there are more good Volnays made now than ever, and yet there are fewer that I find truly interesting.

Curious conclusion. I know you said that you didn't want to discuss it further, but I'd be interested in knowing how you arrive at the "fewer truly interesting" wines (unless you consider the old de Montilles and Pousse d'Ors irreplacable).originally posted by .sasha:

If fatboy provides his definition of a "symphonic wine" , it will save me pages, with a proper citation.
By the way, I see what Maureen is saying, but for me it has nothing to do with CdN vs CdB

Yeah, anyone know what happened to the vines? Amiot = Truchot, more or less. Could be utterly stunning.

too buried in other writing at the moment.
though anyone who can't figure out the meaning of "symphonic wine" from the contrast with "chamber wine" is probably beyond saving anyway.

Do you need a 100-channel mixing board if there are only 4 instruments playing?

Assembling 100 string instruments is not my idea of a symphonic wine, if we are going to have one.
Must have xylophone.
