2021 – A very modern classic – part 1
2021 in the Mâconnais sets the stage for all of Burgundy in this vintage. A year that was complicated by frost, hail and weeks of incessant rain – rain that additionally led to a fight against mildew and oïdium. Fine and sunny were the few weeks that led up to… Read More
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

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
