Nice Rully

Barnesy, after saying I thought over $30 was high priced for a village Meursault, I'm going to recommend one to you that retails at $42! Check out http://www.alex-gambal.com. I became acquainted with this American negociant at past Nantucket Wine Festivals. He's now getting a lot of favorable press in both American and French wine publications. At a tasting of '99 white burgundies my favorites were the village Meursault (my reaction was characteristic French Chardonnay and his description is classic Meursault) and the Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos St. Jean (a really big wine, nicely balanced, retails for $60 a bottle.) He also makes some superb reds--we sampled the Bonnes Mares at the last Nantucket tasting.
