Hello,
Last friday, Le Bon Tyran came to Paris and tasted 5 LR 2012 (Maxime Magnon, Didier Barral, Eric Pfifferling & Cyril Fhal) and 2 Montlouis (Stéphane Cossais).
See

Ask any questions on the forum and I will try to answer.
Best regards

Le Champet et le Jasmin relèvent d’une vendange à la maturité imparfaite et très certainement de rendements propres à réjouir le banquier des domaines.

Maybe. But given the lower price for Jasmin compared to something like Jamet, I'm not sure how it works out for the bankers in the end.

In 2001 at the Marché d'Ampuis, the Jasmin price was 15 euros (excl. VAT) and the Jamet was 21,7 euros.
 
Ha!

As you may know, Jamet is roughly twice the price of Jasmin in the US these days. (60ish vs. 100-120 USD)
 
A few bonus observations: Marie-S could have been a surgeon or a potter (the goose was spectacular and the ravioli were a delight). After all this talk of the "rule of 15" it was interesting to see the Jamet show so well and the "sans souffre" so much better than its sulphured neighbor.

One cheese note: we had a Soumaintrain (from Bertheau, the guy who makes the Epoisses that makes it to DC) that was a first for me. Less, er, aromatic than what I would have expected and quite a nice cheese. Plus five different bleus with the Graham (carried back across the Atlantic previously).

And after the porto we had a "mini vertical" of pu-er teas, with a 14 year old version I was gifted by Zul and a 1996 from pab's tea cellar. The 2000 was lovely and earthy while there was more smokiness in the 1996.
 
Alarmed by the 99 Jasmin note contained herein and striving not to be overly swayed by vested interest, I opened the first of a handful of recently acquired exemplars. Iodine, bacon fat, herbs, olives. Perfect balance and weight, light but grippy tannins. Pleasure galore. The rule of fifteen rules while comprehension lies challenged.
