Yep, have to go with you on that Bi, found several 2001-2002 bottles that were terrible. I remember they were highly recommended by an "expert" |

: > http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...trading-compan > y-filled-vintage-bottles-cheap-alcohol-multimillion-pound-fraud.html Hi Steve, What an article!. I guess it was actually written by someone who does not have a basic understanding of Burgundy as a wine region. Starting by the map, in which they say that Burgundy takes the place of Franche-Comté. Also, the writer does not understand that "Nuits-St-Georges" is not but a village in Burgundy and, as such, cannot be part of such a plot. Getting to the fraud... I agree with what others have said before... not very interesting wines come with a Labouré-Roi label. I remember having bought a few bottles in a Spanish hypermarket 10 years ago, when it was not really easy to find Burgundy save for Lavinia (at Laviniesque prices). And for the 4 or 5 bottles I tried... only one was drinkable. Not from the supposedly best terroir, but the one from the best vintage. s. |

With very few exceptions, I have stopped buying red Burgundy. Acidic in their youth, they simply become dull after a number of years in the cellar. But someone had the guts to pretend that pinot noir is a great grape... Yves |

For red Burgundy, I enjoy drinking the somewhat affordable wines of Joblot, A. et P. de Villaine, and when it comes to Cote d'Or, I am pretty happy with some producers such as Ghislaine-Barthod, Mugneret and many others, not necessarily the most famous and expensive (which I cannot afford). s. |

But someone had the guts to pretend that pinot noir is a great grape... I know what you mean. I'm starting to feel the same about Cuban cigars. YM |
