Lets plug the grafters in burgundy.Pascal and his family have been acquiring tiny plots here and there for quite a few decades, his family only, have been a very hardworking father to son business for over two centuries. Very typical of the region. Now his misses's name is also on the label me thinks ? They borrowed quite a lot of dosh to make store and yard improvements at the end of '07. There are huge threats to their way of life from cheap labour new world wines.
They have a farm house style home in Mare So I'm told, with a tasting room and cellar under the foundations.
The girl rouge next door is a delicate and balanced wine with length, and I also very much like their Sous Le Chateau Dun Romin, same sort of delicacy where great effort is made to distinguish the different terroirs they tender. None of them are mixed up. I've not tried his '05 whites, only '02 and '04, and one '06, so point of interest in your op.
His tiny amounts of Mare so should also be taken when pretty and in bloom. I'm with the boss on this, 5 years on is perrrfic.
I talk to a charming guy who drives his van down to the Prunier's in early Feb most years to taste and buy. Of the wines I know, they are crafted and in a very different room than high volume negociant mixed-up stuff. Not that expensive either.
I hope you enjoy mon ami.
NB.....imho, Folks who routinely keep semi expensive mare so for much more than a decade need to get out more.
