1855 (1855.com): towards the perfect zero (part 2)


Château Léoville-Barton: amongst the 22 bottles of 2008 that Landrault hasn't received from 1855 


Another customer lost by 1855. 2008 en primeur was the last vintage that this client gave 1855 the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately they are still waiting for the 22 bottles of 2008 they ordered.   

Posted by Landrault on Hervé Lalau's Chroniques Vineuses 9.1.2012
"Commande de plusieurs bordeaux 2008 (22 bouteilles pavie macquin, barton, lagrange, ...). Toujours en attente malgré de nombreux mails, coup de fils et bien sûr parfois des réponses rassurantes mais bidons. 2008 était la dernière année pour laquelle j'ai fait confiance à 1855 HEUREUSEMENT !!!!!"
