2017 harvest – 09 september
After 5 days of being steeped in grape-juice! There really is a lot of colour coming out of the grapes this year – there’s a much more disgusting view of my hands, but I can’t hold a camera and press the button at the same time – lucky… Read More
home domaine harvest day 1 – 22-sept-2016
Not really representative, but good to see how great some gamay fruit can be… The home team’s first grapes of this 2016 vintage arrived in the dark close to 9pm yesterday evening – all the way from Morgon – so a good 1 and a half hour’s drive… Read More

seven 97 volnays – not all are magnificent
This was not a bad group of wines, but was frankly dominated by the quality of the Lafon which I would unhesitatingly recommend. It was from a magnum, but then so were many others, so no advantage there. 1997 Camille Giroud, Volnay 1er Carelles It’s… Read More
