My hope is the page might become a locus for all available Clos Rougeard related material. If you're a Facebooker I'd be greatly flattered if you'd put a +1 fan click my way!<br />Best regards,<br />ColinColin Thornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602689667355030792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-56867369722694247872009-01-12T19:57:00.000-05:002009-01-12T19:57:00.000-05:00Nice blog entry.

I've had it in my cellar for a couple of years and I can't wait to taste it. I also have 3 more bottles of the 2004 vintage of Le Bourg. Those will have to wait a while longer. The Le Bourg vines are over 80 years old and have extremely low yields, I imagine this is one of the reasons the wine maker treats it with new oak. Anyway, looking forward to tasting this wine.

I saw it was recently released and at a store around here it'd set you back a little over $100. I have some 1999, 2000, 2001 (though a bottle I opened Saturday night was corked!), and 2002, and it should beat the pants off of many wines costing far more.<BR/><BR/>For a red, how about one of the 2005 Cornas from Thierry Allemand? I seem to recall you're not a Northern Rhone fan, but if anything would change your mind I bet it'd be that. I haven't tasted the 2005s, of course, but a 1994 and 1999 were ethereal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-25243462680400183132008-01-08T20:03:00.000-05:002008-01-08T20:03:00.000-05:00hey jeff - i hear you, me too. and yes, good stuff...hey jeff - i hear you, me too. and yes, good stuff. i urge you to find some and see what you think.<BR/><BR/>thanks for this info Steve l, very much appreciated. i wonder how they decided to use all new oak in le bourg and only a tiny bit in poyeux. anyway, thanks again for turning on the light. <BR/><BR/>lyle - i couldn't agree with you any more. i feel like my wine splurges in 2007 were just misguided. i need some advice on how to spend $500 and get 3 or 4 bottles of wine. what is your splurge now?Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-1738712821098055352008-01-08T14:55:00.000-05:002008-01-08T14:55:00.000-05:00Brooklyn Guy,I believe it is neccesary to splurge ...Brooklyn Guy,<BR/><BR/>I believe it is neccesary to splurge every once in a while.

I forget this/made this mistake a bunch of times, too, but am vowing to not make this mistake again. <BR/><BR/>Btw, Beaune Imports has the US West Coast for this producer, rather than Louis/Dressner. Oh, and I finally scored two bottles of 02 Bourg about a month ago - at a store I've bought half of my Clos Rougeards - they've never had it, though I've asked. Just lying there.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on being a card carrying member of the Cult of Clos Rougeard. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
