Well, having polished off the 2003 Rémy Gauthier Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, I can say that it's quite superb and a veritable bargain, so run along chaps and don't miss out!

Keep in mind that they sould be kept for 8-10 years. Which means a "2003" bottle is almost perfect.

Moderately sucessful shopping at Sainsburys
Reckon you must have a better class Sainsburys in Wrexhan than we do down here Marco, either that or I missed the offer!
The 1995 Chateau Simard cost me £19.99, still 1995 was a reasonably good year for St Emilion. And if it really was on sale for £30, then 1/3 off is still worth having.
As compensation I picked up a bottle of 2005 Chateau Colombier-Monpelou Paullac, for £15.99. Now 2005 really was a good year for Bordeaux.
Wasn't able to find any 2003 Rémy Gauthier Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuits, but I did find the 2006 for £11.99; another good year.
Anyway the 2008 Blason de Bougogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuits were there at £6.65, so I picked up a couple of bottles.
Doubt if I'll drink any by the time we meet in London at the 'MAD-fest', so will have to compare notes at a later date.
Cheers

All the Suffolk Sainsbury's don't stock anything nicer than Meths - I couldn't find those either when I tried on Monday.
