Amazingly the 2001 is available from Pops for $8.52 in a mixed case. Can't understand why with a rising Euro the price has come down by just about $2.50 per bottle. Tell you what, I'll take it. Have secured a supply of it along with more '02 GDB Fleurie.

It hasn't lost a thing in recent vintages in our opinion. Still a load of red cherries on the nose and upfront, with Mother commenting the tannin and acid are already in balanced (the wine is ready to drink on release, dear), and a nice but crisp finish. Matched perfectly with sauteed ham slices in cream sauce, and spinach. Great buy.
