Artisan Vignerons du Bourgogne du Sud – 2018 Mâconnais
It is always a pleasure to visit this group of producers for my usual ‘speed-dating’ tasting. I planned to visit in June, and then July, to taste 2017s – but in both cases, our mutual diaries came up short. Whilst that was a shame, it also opened up the opportunity… Read More
Artisan Vignerons du Bourgogne du Sud – 2016 Mâconnais
Vergisson, 24 July 2018… This tasting was a month or-so later than most years, but I still wasn’t going to pass up the chance to taste the creme de la creme of 2016’s Mâcons. Like the last couple of years, (practically) all the wines… Read More

Tasted in the Mâconnais, 7 April 2017. My, now, traditional trip to taste a selection of wines from the Artisans Vignerons de Bourgogne du Sud – almost certainly the greatest ensemble of producers from the Mâconnais – this time looking at their 2015 vintage. Read More

They should never be considered as the ‘average’ for… Read More
Artisan Vignerons du Bourgogne du Sud – 2012 Mâconnais
Speed-dating – Mâcon-style. Wines tasted in the Mâconnais 22 May, 2014. I’ve been pretty critical of the 2012 white vintage in the Mâconnais. It’s full and it’s concentrated but it’s also largely lacking in acidity and the energy that this acidity brings. I’ve previously written that a smaller number of… Read More
