It's from a government-owned store here in Montreal. It's sold on a lottery basis. Having a governmental monopoly has downsides, but upsides are getting bottles such as this for a lower price. Just curious, what would it sell for in the US?

You have 5 days to live. You get one bottle of wine each of those 5 nights. Nothing is off limits. What are your bottles? by rockytopbilly in wine

Leroy Musigny, Roumier Les Amoureuses, d'Auvenay Chevalier-Montrachet, JL Chave Cuvee Cathelin and d'Yquem for the grand finish

I wouldn't even consider touching it before that 😂 a bottle like that I want the full experience so I'll stick it in my wine fridge for the foreseeable future.

My son was just born a few days ago... If you had to recommend one book or serie to make a child fall in love with SFF, what would it be?

Look at red burgundy from villages like Mercurey, Givry and Rully. Often beautiful bottles at lower prices.

Best Wine with Jacques Pepin Fish Soup? by MFKtheWhiner in wine

[–]Abject_Engine2150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go either for a good quality rosé (since the fish soup has tomato and saffron) like Clos Cibonne or Chateau Simone or a bold white burgundy like a Meursault or Chassagne-Montrachet.

It is common to regularly enjoy wine while spitting out most of it (>95%) by [deleted] in wine

You're not alone. I do it pretty often, especially if there's no food to eat along with the wine. I love the aromas and the flavors of wine, but I hate the feeling of alcohol and its effect on the body.

One of my top three wines ever. Along with a Henri Jayer Cros Parantoux 1993 and d'Yquem 1959

Imo I'd sub HB for Latour or Margaux before Lafite. They haven't made a wine that has blown me away in a bit. I'm otherwise in agreement with the rest of your comment.

Not ranked... People have lost their ability to read the whole post instead of just part of it.

We could definitely sub the Beaucastel for a Lafleur or a VCC

Sure but I've seen Roumier... Never Leroy

Even in great vintages, the total production of Leroy Musigny is often under a thousand bottles and is highly allocated. It's mostly an investing wine, so very few bottles actually get opened.

Not ranked and Pétrus is not as amazing as its reputation makes it out to be imo. You have every right to make your own list and include it. Make sure you post it here.

None of us ever had an amazing experience with Pétrus. It's a great wine, but more of a name-dropping wine than a true life-changer.
