Domaine Ponsot is the first high-profile producer to adopt eProvenance’s second-generation technology, which provides a detailed history of the life of a case of wine. The sensor monitors the temperature and humidity of fine wines as they travel from the wine producer to the customer, and the information can be read on smartphones and tablets. Winesearcher Well, given the price of some producers’ wines, they can afford a physical presence too!

Don’t you just love those phone calls? – Here. And, happily, this comes before we get to flowering: Picture from Caroline l’Estimé in Chassagne this afternoon Many roads around Beaune are flooded as we had heavy rain all night: 40 liters/m2 so far..& it’s not the end. twitter.com/cparentgros/st… — Caroline PARENT GROS (@cparentgros) 3.

stuart george on his 1937 romanée-conti…

Following on from the post of ‘nine decades of domaine de la romanée-conti‘ there is this follow-up from Stuart George MW referring to the ‘too good to be true‘. It’s missing lots of info, like ‘when was the case bought from the domaine?’, ‘how many owners since then?’ etcetera, etcetera. But interesting nonetheless – I’d have liked to see a pic or two, also… Actually, I expect this 1937 was genuine from the perspective that it’s (probably) easy to make something young-looking, but to make something that experienced tasters think worthy of 101 points – well, that’s something else again, and rare enough from genuine bottles…! EDIT: A nice pic from Stuart: @billnanson Here’s a photo of the 1937. twitter.com/sdgeorge1974/s… — Stuart George (@sdgeorge1974) 1. [....]

nine decades of domaine de la romanée-conti…

I was (very kindly!) invited to this event, but unfortunately couldn’t make the date, which saved me from the nitty-gritty conversation of what constitutes ‘an invite’ – a seat, or a seat I had pay for? Regardless; what a treat! Nine decades of Domaine Romanée-Conti in London, Part 1 and Part 2.

Quite a big plug (not by me!) for Pierre Bourée…

Ah, it’s a while since we had a video! Faiveley are producing a series of 4, and here is their first…

A nice piece on winesearcher…

too much knowledge!

Jurors were rigorously vetted by both teams of lawyers. One juror, Decanter.com understands, was dismissed because she said she was a librarian who had read books on wine, particularly a book about corks. Here.

kudos to cellar-tracker…

There’s plenty of hoopla now about ‘His Parkerness’ suing his former #1 son – it seems the disintegration of an old and relatively trusted brand; yet with new Asian ownership and a business plan (I assume they have a business plan!) that must have a strong focus towards the largely untapped Asian consumer, it probably matters not a jot to the management team. Of-course for armchair commentators it is the thing of dreams Over the last years, however, I think that CellarTracker has become a much more valuable tool when it comes to ‘what to drink?’ – as opposed to ‘what to buy?’. For example I considered I might like to open a bottle of Rousseau Chambertin this week, and given that I have a [....]
