Nuits Saint Georges: Village Profile
Despite having no Grand Crus to call its own, Nuits appended the name of its most important vineyard, Les St.Georges, on the 10th May 1892 to become Nuits-Saint-Georges – before that it was described as Nuits-sous-Beaune. When the railway came in 1849 the station here was… Read More
Profile: Les Fuées 1er cru of Chambolle-Musigny
A summer trip through Chambolle-Musigny 1er Les Fuées. The village of Chambolle-Musigny plugs the gap north of Vougeot, and South of Morey St.Denis.

Inside Burgundy, Jasper Morris MW (2010)
2010, Berry Bros. & Rudd Press. Subtitled: The vineyards, the wine & the people. This is a book not just of academic weight – the delivery package was 200 grams heavier that Allen Meadow’s Pearl of the Côte. This book eschews a dust-jacket, though I don’t know… Read More
New Wines from Nuits Producers
A tasting put on by the producers of Nuits St.Georges, 28.03.2010.

2004 à la coccinelle
I think I was possibly the first to publicly raise and discuss the ‘vintage character’ of 2004 reds – anecdotally whites are also affected – Christophe Roumier is one who says this – but I’ve not experienced any obvious examples, so from here-on, red it is…… Read More
Vosne-Romanée: Village Profile
— a little village history — the vineyards — a selection of wines — Vosne-Romanée holds an exalted status in the minds of burgundy ‘worshipers’ – in this context I use the term, worshiper assuredly – any day of the week, rain or shine, you will… Read More
