hail and volnay 2013…
Why you shd be v v circumspect when buying Volnay 2013 http://t.co/PhnXMyu19R

One of the best articles I’ve read in a while, on Jancis’s site, written by Mark Haisma. I really should try to visit Mark!
As you will note from the tweet of Jancis above, she’s worried about 2013 Volnays and urging caution. This is only a small part of the article, but to my mind, this article is the perfect example of why you won’t have a problem with 2013 Volnay if you buy from respected names. My reasoning?
- Triage should have been relatively easy because there was less to triage – though there was rot to remove too!
- The best domaines are very serious about their triage.
- And like Mark, above, if it’s not right, they won’t put their label on it!
Now if you buy from a négoce that you don’t know, then of-course, caveat emptor…
jon wyand’s window on burgundian complexity…
The complexity of Burgundy in just one picture – thanks to Jon Wyand. JNG, mentioned on the left of this image, is Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard.
a few tweets and links of interest…
First, Clive on 2004 – I feel my wrists being slapped…! 😉
Second, one wonders why he was able to accumulate so much – but hey – it’s just another profit…
Third, what really is this UNESCO thing?
Fruit set is also plentiful in Beaune 1er cru "Les Grèves". Loose clusters & zero disease pressure makes me happy 😀 pic.twitter.com/IodptdudA2

wines from prince merode – for a bonne (e)chère(?)
Want to stock up on the fore-runner of DRC Corton? – actually not so easy as it sounds, as there’s no Corton for sale! But anyway (details…) potentially some well priced bottles here:
PS – Thanks to Jon Wyand for the tip-off!
mr halliday’s scoring – yes but…
Halliday on (some) Nicolas Potel.
Yes, I liked it too, but 96 points for 2011 Suchots? What space does that leave for really good wines?
Sorry, but ridiculous, or was James scoring in the context of Australian pinot? Not that I’m stirring the pot… 😉
catching up on the news…
Just back from skiing and there are few things worth reading:
Victoria Moore on Burgundy 2012
Jancis, also on 2012
