It’s taken a while – but now I’ve only 40 more domaines to write up before the start of the harvest 🙂
The new report is online here.
I hope you enjoy it – and also here’s to all your weekends – it’s going to be a hot one where I live!
Cheers!!!
The March 2023 Report is now online – 33 domaines including 5 new ones to me.
The domaines are spread over Chablis and Beaujolais plus March marked the return to the Côte d’Or with a trio of domaines that shouldn’t be missed. The coming months will be a mélange of regions, domaines, appellations and climate – but with a little more focus on the Côte d’Or
These reports are still covering the wines of 2021 but a couple of Beaujolais domaines were sold out – so we looked at their 2022s – that’s already 308 published domaine visits since the end of the 2023 harvest – and nobody covers Chablis and Beaujolais in such depth as you will find here…
Enjoy here…
Online today!
My summary of the 2021 Beaujolais vintage – a complex one with multiple personalities – great wines to downright ugly ones!
85 domaines – with lots of new names too.
Their vintage experiences and their wines described – as always the great wines – at any level – properly highlighted for interested buyers. Enjoy.
Here.
At least now you know why it’s been quiet here in the last few days – furious typing 😉
Online – Januray 2023’s Burgundy Report:
2021 Chablis
Nearly 60 domaines – and there are more visits to be made in a couple of weeks!
A summary of the vintage and its weather – plus, of course, the best domaines and the very best wines.
I hope that you will all enjoy it!
2021 Chablis – Out of adversity, the great and the good:

There are also a few follow-up visits in Puligny-Montrachet and a report from November’s Roi Chambertin to keep you busy too 😉
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…
