Oh the excitement of a new toy, I’m going to try and put a poll on this page. I want to know what your favourite red Burgundy Grand Cru is. There is an option for if you cannot decide. I’ll leave the poll running for two weeks (until 29 March 2007) and then post the results. If you want to put a reason why you chose a particular vineyard, please feel free to leave a comment. Oh I hope this works.
A new toy!

About The Author
Davy Strange
I am a very charming loony, supremely well-endowed with epidemiology and wine qualifications, who has finally found that severe PTSD, Generalised Anxiety Disorder and chronic psychosis are, on one of my all too rare good days, only a moderate impediment to having crazy fun with wine and food. Fifth top red trouser wearer in the international wine trade.
I found it hard to choose between:
Clos des Lambrays
Clos St.-Denis
La Tache
Musigny
Romanee-St.-Vivant
To expand on this:
Clos des Lambrays is silky and smooth with a good purity of fruit. It is also really keenly priced.
Clos St.-Denis has the most incredible perfume and refinement. It is also quite reasonably priced.
La Tache is really complex, stylish and hedonistic. By arse it is a great wine.
Musigny from Mugnier or Roumier is so utterly beautiful it’ll warp your mind.
And Romanee-St.-Vivant has the most utterly delicious flavour, exotic and charming.
