Next: Ubiquitous Grand Crus comparatives

How do Clos Vougeot and Echezeaux sound to you? How many of us know how to spot one when we taste one? Or are these fairly vast and 'common' grand crus not deserving of their elevated status...?

And so it's probably apt that we try to do a comparative for these some time down the road. I'd suggest that we don't have to stick to a single vintage and let's do either or both sittings of Clos Vougeot and/or Echezeaux. By that I don't mean to mix the two, but if we want we can do a session for each. There might be some advantages to do this free-and-easy tasting. One is that we can see how the vintage and producer variation affect the wines. Secondly we can, in a fuzzy way, capture the wines at the different stage of their evolution.

What say you all?
