Sam Platt wrote:I rarely write to wine makers, but on the few occasions that I have I'm batting approximately zero on receiving responses from Burgundy and Bordeaux vintners. I recently sent a message to a generic Chateau Petrus e-mail address asking about wines that offer a similar tasting experience to the Petrus grand vin, which I am unable to afford. I expected to receive either a form letter, or nothing at all in return. To my surprise I received a very nice personal response almost immediately from Christian Moureix. I was quite impressed that he took the time to respond to me when I'm most certainly not in any position to become a customer. If I did have the means I would buy his wine based on customer service alone.
PS: His answer was "no", there is nothing like the Petrus available. He did recommend that I try the Chateau Trotanoy which he said can approximately the Petrus in certain vintages as it comes from similar terroir.

Can you get Lafleur-Pétrus 2004? That was a charming wine also and only c.50€ here.
