for burgundy wines lovers
seen in my today local newspaper...
Une vente qui avait attiré un nombreux public dans la salle, mais aussi de grands amateurs étrangers qui ont enchéri par téléphone. Et huit bouteilles, toutes du même viticulteur, Henri Jayer, ont atteint des prix exceptionnels : Vosne-Romanée Beaumonts 1er cru 1970 à 650 et 600 euros, deux bouteilles de Nuits-Saint-Georges Meurgers 1er cru 1970 à 580 euros, deux bouteilles de Vosne-Romanée 1972 à 650 et 700 euros, mais surtout deux bouteilles de Vosne-Romanée Brûlées 1er cru 1971 à 1 650 et 1 700 euros.
waouh!
the whole page is here (today only I think)

Jayer has been one of my favorite producer (especially during the days of Jayer-Gilles).
Along the lines of great producers like Dom. Leroy and Dom. Rom. Contee, these are good wines for good prices (as far as I can make out with my minimal French) - i.e. at around E300+ per bottle of the 1er cru.
The V-R Beaumonts is a great collector wine at a fair price of E650 each.

coco, those are amazing prices! Thanks for posting that.
Budman ... it goes something like this: An auction attracted many people into the room, as well as foreign wine-lovers who bid by phone. Eight bottles, all from the same grower--Henri Jayer-- achieved exceptional prices: Vosne-Romanée Beaumnonts 1er cru 1970 at €650 and €600 ... and the rest can be deciphered the same way.
That may not be a perfect translation, but it's close enough, I think.

thanks Anselm you're nice! 
and for those who missed the whole message yesterday, it is still on the website today (and maybe tomorrow as they obviously don't work on sundays... at least on their website).
this morning I received an ad which is so typically French for Fauchon (with an old fashion music) that you must have a look at it. there are few french words (and even LOVE so no problem for Budman ;-)

do you see France that way?
