two philiberts…
Domaine Méo-Camuzet Bourgogne Clos St.Philibert 2 notes for the price of 1! 2000/01 Méo-Camuzet, Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Clos St.Philibert Like chalk and cheese these two wines. The 2000 has a quite young, medium yellow colour whereas the 2001 is much more golden. Despite… Read More
Vosne-Romanée: 2007’s in Bottle
This is something of a holy place for wine-lovers around the world. What do these thousands of tourists who travel along the Grands Crus route every year come to see? Romanée-Conti of course! Fewer than 2 hectares of vines produce barely 6,000 – 7,000 bottles of the most prestigious… Read More
a long weekend that hinted to summer
Summer tried to dip its toe in the water this weekend – it looked a little like summer and it was pretty much the right time of the year – but the shorts stayed in their cupboard! Today it also looks like summer, but my jacket remains on – so… Read More

Now, back to advertising. Burgundy-Report has remained a free resource and… Read More
Profile: Domaine Jean-François Coche-Dury (Meursault)
A short profile of the domaine and a little longer to linger over a few mature bottles in a fine restaurant: Jean-François Coche (and since 1999 his son Raphaël) produces wines that you are often mandated to drink – but all too often (perhaps) for the wrong reason! In French… Read More

magnum report pt.2
1995 Dujac, Clos de la Roche (From Magnum) Medium, medium-plus ruby-red, and a little brighter than the 75cl bottle that I last opened. The nose takes time to get into it’s stride; starting with faint smoke and a slightly estery width, but there is an ever-sweetening and… Read More
