I would say that Las Cases is a closer knit, more "balanced", typically lighter wine, and Barton is more "au sauvage", often quite rough when young.  And I would say the same of THE DRC (regarding knit and balance, in any case) vs La Tasche, which I also prefer in most vintages I have tried.  In the best vintages, however, nothing can touch THE DRC (as everyone already knows and agrees).

Before we abandon this discussion, let's also salute the incredible white wines of Burgundy, starting with another DRC, THE Montrachet, a whole universe that can "come up" in a glass for well over 2 hours.

And perhaps dC will spool off for us a list of today's likely Bourgognes, to keep our whistles properly wetted.


Best regards,
Paul S
