1998 jean-marc boillot puligny-montrachet
After the ’98 Fevre, I thought it safe to pull out another – if you have any of these, I suggest you drink them quickly. Perhaps I’ll pull out the last of my ’98s – I have a Jadot Charlemagne somewhere. I hope that this informal trio (Fevre,… Read More
Profile: Domaine Pavelot, Jean-Marc et Hugues (Savigny)
Entering Savigny-Lès-Beaune you will see a sign directing you up a small road to the Domaine of Jean-Marc et Hugues Pavelot. When I said a small road, I mean’t it; from the main road it’s a sharp and narrow approach, the wall on one side is testament to legions of… Read More
dipping a toe into the côte d’or
As a warm-up for my three weeks in Beaujolais I, last Friday, dipped my toes into the (mainly) reds of the Côte d’Or before a Beaune weekend with a wonderful Saturday ‘lunch’ in the Hospices de Beaune – my first! Two domaines in Gevrey-Chambertin and one in Chambolle; Astrelles, Marc… Read More

marko’s burgundy vendange day six…
Arlaud Vendange Day Six – Saturday, 8th Sept 2018 A largely Gevrey day here (excluding the already done first day Combottes).

Oedoria, Cremant, Extra-Brut From the Cave Cooperative of that name in Beaujolais, made with chardonnay. A modest but pure nose. Plenty of slightly rustic bubbles – it gets better with air as the CO2 calms. The flavour is excellent, wide and with a fine purity – totally… Read More
