Vosne Super 1ers Tasting: Final Take...?

Weeks of one-off discussions and this must come to a close. Here's what I've been thinking and asking Andy, Arif and Chee Wee...

Date:

April Fools' 2005 (Friday evening)

Venue:
To-be-determined

Wines (so far, subject to further modifications):
Les Brulees 1995, Meo-Camuzet (Ming San), or
Les Suchots 1995, Robert Arnoux (Ming San), or
Les Chaumes 1995, Meo-Camuzet (Ming San)
Les Beaux Monts 1992, Leroy (Chee Wee)
Les Brulees 2001, Rene Engel (Henry)
Cros Parantoux 1998, Emmanuel Rouget (Arif)
Les Brulees 1998, Meo-Camuzet (Andy - to be confirmed)

Okay, I know it's beginning to sound like some Les Brulees tasting instead of a Vosne 1er. So perhaps we have to opt out some stuff here. Some sites are missing too, e.g., Reignots, Gaudichots (that would be nice...), Malconsorts...

I have Grivot's Chaumes but it's 1999, a vintage I strongly discourage from trying out at this point, and Cacheux's Suchots but it's a 1996, and several months back it's just a piece of rock. Would be most pleased to offer these up but I think they're nowhere near approachable right now.

Hope to make this happen real soon...
