    Craig, in fact I did, that's why I bought another bottle! It will be for my next little chardonnay experiment. Chateau Rives-Blanques from the Limoux AOC in Languedoc is supposed to be comparable to white Burgs of good quality, at a fraction of the price (I bought the bottle for 7.25 euros). It will be interesting to see if it stands up to the Brocard.

    Status: offline     		Hey, Niklas, since you are investigating the Languedoc-roussillon, you should start a new thread about that region and keep us posted about your findings and discoveries.

    Languedoc-roussillon wines are cheaper and reasonably easy to find, but very complex to assess (a few great things amongst a sea of plonk), but if you are taking upon you the trouble to investigate it, please share the knowledge.

    Yes it will.  Have you tried any chards from the Jura region?  I like Labet fleur de chardonnay if you can find it--prob 10-12 euro.

    Status: offline     		Only bought it this week, so can't comment.
    It should have some of these characteristics:
    "slightly more forward than 2005, a bit more expressive aromatically......offers a similar, structured personality."
    "plush black currant and plum fruit. Vibrant acidity ......... dark chocolate oak and firm, fine tannins provide a solid frame"
    "ripe shiraz fruit with plenty of sweet oak folded into the mix........ supple sweetness comes from all angles with a stripe of toasty oak spliced throughout"
    For <$30 I'd settle for finding half of the above.
    Drank these - http://www.cellartracker.com/forum/m_23037/mpage_7/tm.htm
    May try one Heartlands 2006 soon, but most are for 2010 and beyond.

    I need my internet to go down for about six months.

    Bought new vintages of "The Bully" and "Evil Twin".

    While we were in the neighborhood, we also stopped in at Senoj, Cuillan Hills and Guardian...And made purchases at all three additional wineries... 

    Love living in an area where you can go wine-tasting pretty much whenever you want!!

    The Guardian juice is pretty darn good isn't it! It's a bit of a jaunt up there for me, but been meaning to get up there and visit them, Mark Ryan, etc. instead of only having it all shipped.
