"La Paulée has changed over time. It used to be kind of stodgy and really serious, and everybody felt very staid. Now it feels more like a party. There's much more dancing."
"I tried to bring something a little younger, fresher, more lively-an intermezzo between the old, rare bottles. The most interesting bottles I brought were a Cedric Bouchard La Bolorée and a Prieuré Roch Bourgogne Blanc."
"Everyone enjoyed tasting the Prieuré Roch, but they didn't really get it. They were more excited when they saw how the somms reacted to it."
La Paulée has transformed over the years from a serious gathering to a more festive occasion with dancing. Sarah Markman, a wine importer, describes the stress of selecting bottles, aiming for a balance between rare, older wines and fresher options. She brought a Cedric Bouchard La Bolorée and a Prieuré Roch Bourgogne Blanc, which were well-received by sommeliers, although the attendees initially did not fully appreciate the latter. The event now feels more vibrant and engaging.
