Goose - Thanks for putting up that link. A review of the business from an old hand reveals: Clos De Vougeot Grand Cru Domaine D'Ardhuy '06 starting price at £100 - No. Domaine D'Ardhuy ? Who are the growers ? There are some serious buying and retail pricing mark up errors in their original prices. A very quick analysis of Cote d'Or indicates that they either bought wrong, or were very greedy and optimistic with indifferent vintages. Burgundy buyers at this money are not idiots, and may know as much, or more than their buyers. They have put far too many eggs in one basket with Domaine D'Ardhuy. Their Clos de Vougeot '06 and Corton Charl '04 were massively overpriced, and may be still too expensive. The company used to be real savvy with picking up smaller parcels of fine wine, when a much smaller operation. Looking to the future, they need to wake up, or they will be heading for a fall. At the affordable end - Mercurey '07 is not drinking very well IMHO. The Santenay does not even quote a vintage - bottle says '06. The beautiful or powerful '05 at 1er level could be bought for similar money if you knew where to look. Not impressed. |

£100 - that's very close to a car... |
