Hi Bogan,
I can't speak for the reviewers, but I bought 18 bottles of the regular cuvee
direct without tasting. I tasted one rather too quickly, it was very closed. Will
probably revisit soon enough, as I noticed recently some 05 La Perruche SC also
coming around a little.
I rather regret not having ordered a case of the Lisagathe, which Vatan histrionically
declared "the wine of his lifetime." But I do think he's been exaggerating the
pricing, unfortunately.
Haven't tasted any 05 Vouvray yet but no reason to think it's not an exceptional
millisime there too.
