Alain Dénéchère) and Domaine du Petit Val in Chavagnes (M. Denis Goizil). I used to like these wines, and those men as well, even though it was a time when some “brûlant” was more customary in Bonnezeaux than nowadays (either through chaptalization or because the balance favoured more ethanol and less residual sugar).<br />Do you know them well? Have you tasted their wines recently ? Have you published a report?<br />If you do see them, give them my warm regards (we used to be “Les Amis du Vin”, banal as this name may sound).Luc charliernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456611623448834500.post-22445632047385494602010-08-28T12:37:43.710+01:002010-08-28T12:37:43.710+01:00SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS (also known as “the l...SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS (also known as “the law of the Château”)<br /><br />I will straight away comfort the impatient one, bored to death by my nonsense: there are only three main laws in thermodynamics.
