  September 8, 2015 - Pre-moxing. This wasn't completely gone but there is clearly more oxidation than there should be for a wine this young. And it's not the nice gentle oxidation you notice with old wines. It's overt. There was enough left underneath that to see what it once was and could have been. Such a shame. How the wines of Burgundy still sell for such extravagant money while this sort of fraud is going on is beyond me.

Producers know they need to address the issue, and any decent producer doesn't set out to deliberately produce a wine that will sufer from prem-ox. Hoping my bottles aren't simiarly effected. As to cost, Burgundy is expensive to produce (tiny parcels, high labour costs), and still is in high demand. Unlikely to change unless we stop buying it....
