A mere 47 exciting wines today – the full range at Pascal Bouley, François Lamarche, René Leclerc and Hubert-Verdereau, capped off by a lovely dinner at Les Jardins des Ramparts with Thiébault & Mariel Hubert and a killer bottle of Mugnier “Les Amoureuses” 2002. Yes, I am in heaven. And I can confirm yesterday’s findings that the 2006s are rockin’good. So far I’m a fan. The whole world is seemingly here for the auction and all the action this weekend – Beaune is buzzing and it feels very festive. I am completely knackered, and will report back in more detail later…
