Blending Rhone wine with Burgundy is not that far in the past. When I was getting interested in wine in the early ’70s, I bought some 1959 Bichot Musigny. Perhaps there was some Musigny in there (or at least Pinot Noir) but to this day it rates as one of the best Chateauneuf du Papes I’ve ever consumed.

Thanks!

Oh, do you have an idea how much we should expect to pay for a bottle of Les Deux Terroirs?

Hi Isaac,

I just called the importer/distributor, Southern (516-921-9005 FYI). The representative said, without checking in the database, that the wine was not in yet. Then he said to order it through a retail store and they would deliver it the next day to the store. So there you go! Clear as mud.

Best,

I would really like to try this wine. Karen McNeil points out the Hermitage-Bordeaux connection in her book “The Wine Bible” and I have been curious since I read about it. Unfortunately, the wine search does not return any results for me in NY as described in the post. Can someone suggest stores to get it at?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It looks so interesting, and I love drinking something historic! Wish they were coming soon to California, too. Will have to keep my eyes peeled.
