Hi Dale,
Foudres, certainly. I'm not sure about the age of them though, I always assumed
they were changed out in rotation after 2-3 years. Not sure if I learned this there, or
just imagined it.
Haven't had a B. recently, and not likely to for a little while as I continue bottom
feeding (not always a bad thing as you know), but when I next do I'll check
my palate for the tell tale oak component!  Have to get a young one, though,
drat.
Coudoulet used to be a really great deal in the US, though I imagine those days
are gone...
