The best kind of sad email 😉
Sad – but the nicest of emails:
"Bill, I cancelled my subscription. I have too many bottles in the cellar…
I never bought a bottle that you recommended that I did not like. So I will miss your articles and tasting notes. I learned a lot about Burgundy."— 🅱️ill nanson (@billnanson) February 19, 2023
A successful week of typing at home – my 2021 Chablis report is done and will go online on Sunday, plus – I’m also shocked(!) – my first week of 2021 Beaujolais visits is also fully typed – all 22 visits!
But there are 60 more visits to complete in the next two weeks – so don’t expect that report to be online before the end of March – particularly as the first week of March sees a return to Chablis as I ‘only’ managed to visit 60 domaines in January!
Now I’m going to start pruning a tree in the garden – in the frost – brr! Of course, today is Thursday – which is my start to the weekend – so I must make a quick(?) visit to the cellar 😉
First, some week 1 (last week) mainly Beaujolais pics!
Uploaded yesterday – 41 domaines and their wines – those worth a special search are outlined as usual…
Additionally, I have significantly updated the summary of the vintage for Côte de Beaune reds to also include the info on those from the Côte de Nuits – so all in one place rather than piecemeal…
For January, I have already more than 20 Chablis domaines in my report book (okay – laptop!) so that will be part 2 of my white report – probably to be published at the end of the first week in February – then it will be, once more, Beaujolais time – for part 3 of 2021 reds.
No rest for the wicked – and it might even snow on the way to Chablis later today!
It’s online for subscribers today – 35 domaines and their wines – those worth a special search are outlined as usual…
There’s a new Burgundy Report, online since yesterday; it’s the first part of my 2021 reporting: 22 domaines in the Mâconnais plus a vintage commentary for the region.
I’ve visited over 120 domaines for the 2021 reporting, so far, so there will be no let-up in the typing except whilst having to taste even more wine!
You can find the new report for subscribers, which I hope that you will enjoy, here.
Next:
2021, a very modern classic – part 2
The whites of the Côte de Beaune
– coming soon!
Already online for a couple of days – here
“Mainly 2020s from 12 domaines, an important vineyard profile and a look at how the 1996 vintage for reds is coming along – spoiler – the Musigny was the best wine!”
Just as a heads-up, a new Burgundy Report is online. Here.
The image above also references stories in these diary pages in the last days too.
I hope there’s something interesting for you.
Thursday is holiday touring for me – no wine visits – but there will be some in the car for emergencies 😉
A new Burgundy Report with an additional 20 domaines from in and around Chablis to add to the 64 tasted in January – that’s 84 domaines’ 2020s – and there’s more too!
Nobody gives you more…
