I was trying very hard to pass on BerserkersDay due to the Rhys mailer coming in a week, but this offer sucked me in. [wow.gif] Simply couldn’t say no to a mixed case of '08 Foreau Demi-Sec and '10 Pousse d’Or Corton Roi & Volnay 60 Ouvrees. Thanks Todd & Robert!!!

Hi Robert -

Thanks for participating!

I’m sitting here drinking the '09 Dme. Guion Cuvee Prestige. An amazing QPR. Love the crisp acidity and crunchy fruits. Glad to see you carry the '10.

I was on your site checking out the Northern Rhones. The Durands seem like great value. I am getting conflicting information on the web, however, regarding whether these are old world or new world in style. I was particularly concerned about Uncle Bob’s reference to one as having low acid. Are these wines that lovers of Clape, Allemand and Gonon would appreciate?

Many thanks.

Personally, I am not a fan of the either/or proposition of old world and new world. But I know what you mean.
The Durand wines are not whole cluster.
There is some new oak, not too much.
They lack not for acid or tannin; each cuvee has a distinct personality/architecture.
I’d place them in the moderate leaning towards modern camp: substantial stuffing, with a modern polish.
Hope this helps.
