Unfortunately I am not on any secret lists there. In fact, that is why I've never been able to buy a single bottle of Clape, Ganevat nor Overnoy. But the website often has a limit per purchase. Gonon has different distributors and KL is usually a pretty expensive one (at least from my CA experience); sometimes their wholesale pricing didn't reflect just a standard importer's markup, but a scarcity surtax.
If I get offered any Clape or Ganevat, I'll let you know. It'll be expensive.
I don't expect to ever see another bottle of Overnoy (or maybe Rougeard).

I have fond recollections of the 2011 St. Cote Epine st. Jseph you opened about two years ago.
It was the 2013, but yes, what a nice wine. It includes wine from grapes from a portion of Trollat's old-vine vineyards (Gonon has the other portion). I am looking forward to the 2015, which ought to arrive in April.
I don't understand the name of the producer you're talking about. I'm assuming Jay is having more autocorrect issues?

2015 François Chidaine Montlouis-sur-Loire "Les Choisilles" - This is lean and incredibly laser-like. Like, if you thought something else was laser-like, drink this next to it and you'll quickly recant. It has a fantastic rush on the front and then, "ooh, my lips pucker," and all the better for it.

Going back to this thread...
Last night had the '14 Choisilles for the second time in the past month. Interestingly, it is not at all laser-like, which I might have expected in comparison to a ripe year like '15. It does finish with some of the tingling crisp woolly mineral elements, but if it is a laser, it would have to be a fairly broad and dull one. I haven't tasted the '15, so can't do a side by side. But I like, not love, the '14.

Full name is Domaine de la St. Cote Epine St. Joseph Rouge.
I also ordered some 2015 based on how your 2013 showed. Looking forward to it.

Note to self and you: wait a while before opening one of the 2015s. Dense, packed, needs time.
