Well done gent's, very fortunate 🙏

🤯🤯🤯 cest magnifique. A voutre saunte monsieurs
$750/glass USD
I had this recently – in burgundy matrix it's even a value find – sometime you can find it around US$1k. It's a tremendous wine. after 30 hours it holds strong and blossomed into a kaleidoscope of florals, sous bois, sandalwood etc. It's not the most seamless burgundy I've had (the even more prestigious/outrageously priced ones can be), but the quality is just magical
Drink twice the quality and half the quantity
Calling 2016 Musigny GC old wine shows what Somms drink these days.
A couple of lucky lads on this episode, very jelly! Great vid guys, love your content!
This has probably been ask before guys but – what are these beautiful glasses?
I like to drink wine (€30-100 per bottle). Above this price it becomes prestige and few people that taste it blind will notice the difference.
I had the 2010 2 month ago.
Paid 300€ back home and 100% worth it.
