"It is hard to believe how long I have been drinking and cellaring the wines from Edmond Vatan, as the first vintage I ever sold of his wine was the 1988 all the way back in late 1980s. I should have cellared some then, as I am sure the ’88 is still drinking brilliantly today! However, it took me a decade or so to get my act together and cellar my Vatan for the long haul, so the oldest bottle I have left in my cellar is from the 1997 vintage. . .Monsieur Vatan was born in 1929 and turns ninety-one this year, but continues to cruise along in good health. A Happy 91st to the maestro of Chavignol, who is proving even more timeless than his wines!" |
