Further to the Ligny Chablis thread.......

By the time I had got home Tesco had delivered my two cases of Chablis, my wife had signed for it.

Wait a minute, this aint the Ligny. Checked the receipt, 'Sorry, items unavailable... replaced with higher cost item....if unhappy..return to driver..etc.'

So what have I got? Twelve bottles of 2008 Andre Tremblay Chablis, Les Pierres Blanches.

I know of the producer, well respected, no longer with us I believe. Have done a quick search online, nothing on Tesco, just this on Waitrose-

My bottle even has the same IWC Bronze medal on the front, as noted on the Waitrose page.

The bottle looks almost identical except it has no mention of Pascal Bouchard.

I will open a bottle either tomorrow or Thursday, have a bottle open at the mo, but would appreciate any info if known.

Sorry Duncan, I will have to look for the Ligny in store.

You jammy bugger, Waitress say it's worth 14.99 in store, they don't usually mess up big time with chablis & burgundy prices

It could be a little fuller with a tad more flint / chalk. The Les Pierres Blanches, may be a monopole - check, I don't know it. We want a TN about this, and PDQ

You've got till midnight today, to buy the Ligny at a fiver. Praps I ought to place a grocery order by midnight tonight - but knowing your luck, versus everybody elses, I get Cape classics or something dire.

You must be a good chap

Just found this, and it refers directly to the same wine, except it being the '06-

You need to scroll down a bit to find it.

Keep up - I've been there 25 minutes ago - '08 is fuller than that '06, and nicer to my way of thinking

A proper TN please - Duh.

Cellar tracker appears to be pretty naff for good yet affordable Chablis TN's.

Save a bottle for me.

decent Chablis imbiber

Dig me out something nice from your Pinot collection Dunc and I'll swap ya. I have a bottle case designed for posting, will send it over to you, you can send the PN by return in the same case. It should only cost us a few quid each in postage.

Wait until I've tasted it first tho.
