The March issue of Burgundy-Report Extra!

Rather ‘note-heavy’ in this issue – over 320 – and that’s thanks to the multiple opportunities offered by March’s Grands Jours de Bourgogne. This month I also begin my exploration of Chablis, there’s plenty there too, but there will be much more to come in the next two reports. Enjoy:

Chablis – Part 1

Getting a fix on Chablis – geographically
Chablis Union des Grands Crus – 15 2012 Grand Crus
Chablis 2012 1er Crus – over 50 wines
Chablis Laroche – worth a second look

The producers:
A modest collection of domaines visited in-between the organised tastings of the month.

Chandon de Briailles – 2012
Jerôme Galeyrand – 2012
Le Grappin – 2012
Daniel Rion – 2012
Jean-Louis Trapet – 2012

The Grands Jours de Bourgogne:
Every two years, and always more tastings and too much crowding to do everything. But operate selectively, and there are interesting things:

27 Corton – 2012
18 wine Clos de Vougeot vertical…
23 Echézeaux – 2012
18 Pommard 1er Crus – 2012
40 Nuits St.Georges 1er Crus – 2012
36 Grand Crus – 2011 red, 2008 white
40 Mâconnais Blanc- 2012
