...sent me this picture from a humble, modest and small cellar in Vosne-Romanée.
Does anyone want to take the calculator and do some math? :mrgreen:

Nice wines, nice racks in a nice cellar - what more could you want?

DRC (2007 price) at $11,000 per btl X 1858 = Over $20M on that ONE RACK.

Wow.

That's just.....wow.

If I could get a few minutes in there alone I don't think they would miss just one La Tache - a.k.a. "the cheap stuff"... do you?

What confuses me about this photo is that it appears that their supply of La Tâche is roughly equal to that of Romanée-Conti (~1800 btl). Yet the production figures for La Tâche are typically four times that of R-C. What gives? Did they already sell off more of the '11 La Tâche? Weird year for production figures? Or do they have more than one blackboard for La Tâche? Clearly, I'll have to visit to sort this all out! :P

Mark,

It's hard to tell, but I believe there is additional La Tache in the racks to the right.
