Just like Red Burgundy, I truly like the white. And except YQUEM, the best white I have tated are from the Burgundy and the few Montrachet I have tasted were all a great experience! The best i bought and had in different millesime and is the Albert Grivault Meursault 1er Clos des Perrieres. I will b...

Allo Stefan

Also fan of Pinot, I’m in for Burgundy!

To pair or compare to your Griotte, I can bring a Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru Jadot 2002.

Jean-Fred

JeanFred

i will always remember a article from RVF - Revue des vins de France who compare the second wines to the Crus Bourgeois and by far the CB are a better Q/P than the second wine.

And from this article, except a few bottles, I always prefer to buy good Crus Bourgeois ...

It seems like its hard to go wrong picking any 2015 Margaux AOC. That’s it! At the UGC tasting, all the Margaux were Fabulous, amazingly young, accesible and greedy. I had the Giscours 2015 a week ago and again I was surprise how can I have so much pleasure to drink a youth Bordeaux Brane Catenec -...

JeanFred

Nic, I hope I will have a chance to drink the WOTY... I had the Giscours 2015 a week ago and Margaux is really awsome in 2015!

And to all BWEers, I wish you a Happy New Years

A tous les membres de BWE, je vous souhaite une bonne année et beaucoup de plaisir en bouteille. Cheers

To addition to the wines I bougth for the DC Convention at MacArthur's

I bring back 2 bottles of Ducru Beaucaillou 96

Jean-Fred

JeanFred

Jim, I quite surprise of your comments of your impression of Giscours 2015. Did you open long time before and did you decante the wine? Nothing like they showed at the UGC event a month or 2 ago. I'm assuming bottle/travel shock, and lack of decanting are the culprits. THE UGC bottles were likely op...

JeanFred

It is far from now but I like the concept 2000 at Age 20 for 20th anniversary. We can also add the option to insert some 1990 at age 30 to compare with the 2000. Plenty of time to discuss about!!! Bordeaux 2020 sound also great, Nicolas told me so much about is Bordeaux 2015 trip, I can just dream a...

JeanFred

Again some change on my wine I just got a email from McArthur and I will only have 1 bottle of Ducru Beaucaillou 1998. To replace it, I will bring Yquem 1995, eventhough we might have it in another diner! Also, I will change my JJ Prum for a Chateauneuf du Pape on Friday. I can not wait to see the B...

Happy Birthday BWE, from a 'young' member. I'm glad to have joined this community.

I should forget the language barrier and participate more in the discussion!

Always a pleasure to read

Jean-Fred

JeanFred

Just confirm I'm there with Nic

I have to choose between Rhone and Burgundy..

JeanFred

Agree with you Nic

My comment was just to say that It mainly in Nord medoc where there is no douth that 2016 is better. Margaux, Pomeral and Pessac, it depends.

JeanFred

JeanFred

Tom

What about the price of Rausan and Canon ( went from 145$ca in futur to 225$ca at the UGC and Canon from 175 to 425$ca)!!!

JeanFred

JeanFred

I have tasted the 2015 with Nic, a week ago, I share is opinion.

And I put emphasis on Margaux, The aoc to buy: Rauzan, giscours, Malescot, Brane-Catenac, Lascombes, all excellent!

I have also really liked Pessac for the Freshness and classic claret bordeaux.

JeanFred

JeanFred

Also taste the Sauterne. A sprint tasting at the end. Taste 6 Sauternes in less than 10 monutes... Like the red, 2015 is a very good vintage: I prefer Guiraud: freshness, classic, Powerfull and long than a bite under Fargues - Nice botrytis and oaky aspect Lafaurie-Pey. - lot of richness and zesty a...

JeanFred

I was there in Mtl with Nic I can say I have in general the same impression than Nic The best AOC was Margaux very sedutive and the margauxberry fruity than Pessac with a magnificient freshness and a pleasant mineral aspect. More variation for the Nord Medoc aoc with some wine closed: Lynch and Poyf...

JeanFred

As Chris said, we should start new thread for the Thursday and Friday the get the count

Can just help to create a buzz.

Also, that we will help me and Nick which bottles we are going to bring or to buy

Jean-Fred

JeanFred

I Still don't know what to bring:
A Richebourg from Chave or
My Hermitage from La Romanée Conti???

Jean-Fred

JeanFred

And About Québec-Canada Jim!!!

JeanFred

I'm glad to be on board again for this convention!

I like the idea of Burgundy on Friday night.

Jean Fred

JeanFred

At the end, I prefer my 2015 "extra" case than 2 bottles of Pavie 2016

JeanFred

Finally

I put a order: I bought a case of... 2015!

With the price of 2016, specialy in Qc, I decided to buy more 2015.

Price 2015 vs 2016

6x Poyferré 130 - 163$

3 x. L Barton 125 - 157$

3 x. Giscours 89 - 107$

JeanFred

Les Français are crazy!

As Dstgolf wrote, the price are insane.

Big deception for me. I was hoping for decent price after the Cos release but the game change with NM cote and 2017...

JeanFred

Why you say that Jean-Nic about 2016?

JeanFred

JeanFred
