Jancis has also just added […]

New in: “The event «Jeunes Talents du Vin» “Wine Young Talents” unveiled the prize winners of Year 2009 on 10th December in Paris. Presided by Philippe Faure-Brac, Best Sommelier in the World, the jury selected 7 “vignerons” from 7 vine growing areas of France.” Domaine Seguin-Manuel was awarded the « Burgundy » Trophy. Well done […]
I brought your attention to the auction of part of the cellar from the Tour d’Argent that was held in Paris last week. I myself made some bids on what looked like reasonably priced (and perfect provenance!) 1993s, the estimates were, however, rather under-estimates – the wines made 2.5 to 4x mid-estimate.

No bottles to open as I’m trying to rid myself of this damn cold, it also curtailed my domaine visit plans for the end of last week. So the net result is that the Autumn Report will be abbreviated versus my plan A – 120 2007 tasting notes from 2 tastings are missing, and also […]
I see that people were very enthusiastic at the Hospices de Beaune auction: New York Times
This made me laugh today…
Pinot noir is a tough mistress, if you want good behaviour, you have to pay – and frankly may still not get the behaviour of your hope! Regional wines, ‘Bourgognes’, made by ‘small’ producers often have the same level of care and attention both in the vineyard and in the cellar that is devoted to […]
