52x 2017 Petit Chablis
Tasted blind, at the BIVB office in Chablis, 08 January 2019. I didn’t do this tasting for the 2016 vintage because most of Petit Chablis had been badly frosted. That said, so was a lot of 2017 too! I have anyway renewed my acquaintance with this AOP… Read More

2017 harvest – 13 september
Chambolle today… The morning was pretty Autumnal and cold, so it was a surprise when it became a little muggy and 24°C in the afternoon – rain was forecast but never really materialised. I started my afternoon tour on the northern border of Chambolle-Musigny with Morey –… Read More
29x 2014 Petit Chablis, blind
Tasted at the BIVB in Chablis, 05 Jan 2016. Every year as a kick-off to my series of Chablis visits, I like to get something of baseline feeling for each new vintage, and what better way to start than with the base of the appellation, Petit Chablis. The BIVB are… Read More
de Vogüé – 2014

Just so many wines…
Here’s a compendium of wines tasted with producers between the 1st December 2010 and the end of March 2011. They are mainly 2009s and 2008s – I tasted lots of 2010s in this period, but far too early to make notes – there’s not much value telling you that Romanée-Conti… Read More
2008 Comte Georges de Vogüé Bonnes-Mares
We really have the juice of the fruit here says François Millet. Here is a deep, concentrated core of darker-red fruit – the nose seems almost ‘smooth’. The smell of the last drops in the glass are super-gorgeous. A little more structure but it’s super-fine and concentrated. A beautiful core… Read in the Note Finder
The 2007’s of Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé
Given time constraints, it is a rare treat to visit domaines every year, but de Vogüé is a place where, personally, it’s about learning and understanding, rather than just turning up to taste Musigny(!) – so I think this is my third visit in the last 4-5 years. Read More
