2018 Beaune – a large blind tasting
Tasted in Beaune, 02 March 2021 I find it’s too easy to let the worst of a particular vintage colour your impressions of a vintage as a whole – call it a lasting caricature of a vintage. Because I usually finish my tour of the new wines… Read More

Echézeaux – 20 Aug 2020 Yesterday saw the early harvesters – or more their early parcels – at work across Burgundy; Chablis, Mâconnais and Beaujolais, not just the producers in the Côte de Beaune. The Côte de Nuits still seems to have much time available; today… Read More
