You noticed too? Did you ever get the feeling that they, sort of, said the
same thing ... ? About, like, terroir, respect, tradition, and so on and so
forth?
And, BTW, which producers did you visit (nudge nudge)?

We, for our part, visited Francois Lamarche (no you cannot buy anything. No
you cannot order anything. No you cannot be put on the waiting list), Tollot
Beaut (well, everything fro the 2006 is sold, everything from 2007 is
ordered and ...), Dom Lambray (as you know our production is very small and
is mostly intended for the owners), Domaine Cornu in Magny-lès-Villers (good
GC Corton at EU 35), Lignier in Morey-St-Denis (extremely good QPR 1er cru M
StD, 20 EU!) and Olivier Leflaive who makes exactly the kind of wine you'll
like if you like the kind of wine that Olivier Leflaive makes and I don't
think I do.

Cheers
