*I had been to the Côte d’Or under Minot’s administration only once, in 1974, and had been struck by the extraordinary wealth of the wine cellar. The food on that occasion did nothing in particular to stick in my memory, but the cave was another matter. I am not about to forget the two bottles that accompanied my meal: a 1966 Chambolle-Musigny and a 1957 Richebourg.
