  (BROCARD Chablis VALMUR) Late Arrivals Dear Friends, A few late afternoon arrivals - all are in-stock and will be available for local pick up in a week or so (none are pre-arrival). This is a list you can throw darts at to find something special - the quality is very high across the board. All have impeccable provenance as well. Have a good weekend everyone - - Jon Rimmerman ************************* Friday Feature: 2007 Perrachon Gamay Noir (Bourgogne) We've offered many of the cru wines from Perrachon in 2007 (Morgon, Julienas, etc) but this is his top entrant, an amalgam of his finest parcels that is listed as simple "Bourgogne". Not to be confused with Bourgogne Rouge from the Cote d'Or (Pinot Noir), this Bourgogne is 100% Gamay Noir from Perrachon's oldest vines. Vinified in a combination of steel, cement, older barrels and a few new it will be very interesting to see what everyone thinks of this wine. When a producer puts his or her finest foot forward for under $14, you have to tip your cap and just enjoy the fruits of their labor. This wine would have been closer to $18 but a perfectly timed exchange rate in late winter (when this was secured) has paid off. STRICT LIMIT 12/person until we run out. ************************* 2007 Brocard Chablis Grand Cru "Valmur" 750ml (BH93-95) EXTREMELY LIMITED This wine is one of the steals of the vintage for Grand Cru fruit. My affinity for the 2007 Chablis campaign has already been well documented but this is almost like turn back the clock pricing on a wine that is so sinfully pure and stony it's like biting the side of a stalactite covered cave. When Fevre's 1er's are only a few dollars less than this (and far more available), you know this is a crazy bargain. Those of you that take pride in the pain you derive from the finest white wine take special note - one of the top wines of a classic year (if we run out, Wine Exchange has a few cases at about the same price)... 2007 Brocard Chablis Grand Cru "Valmur" 1.5lt (BH93-95) EXTREMELY LIMITED (This is slightly more than two 750ml's but, for a 2007 magnum of this quality, I would place this near the top of the heap - VERY RARE in this format and basically impossible to find in magnum - should have interesting secondary value down the road). 2006 Delas Hermitage Marquis de la Tourette We've offered this wine three other times this year and the price continues to go down at the source? People keep asking for it so here you go - I can't believe everyone has already consumed their bottles this young but there must be a reason why it continues to spark so much interest. This parcel is much smaller than the other lots we've had but I believe this is the last of it (they've moved on to 2007). STRICT LIMIT 6/person until we run out Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Burg6335 Burg6336 Burg6337 Rhone7616
