Puligny-Montrachet: Village Profile
At the core of the white-wine-centric Côte de Beaune are Meursault & Puligny-Montrachet. Sadly for Chassagne-Montrachet and St.Aubin, and despite the quality of their wines – the former’s grand crus included – those two villages are often relegated to the afterthoughts of consumers. Meursault was, for generations, the most sought-after… Read More
Roundup of wines tasted
No slurping and spitting; these wines were really drunk and predominantly at home with food and friends between March 2005 and June 2005. I have the feeling that I’ve had too many corked wines recently but the figures are not that much higher than normal – maybe it was… Read More

A mixture of a dead laptop and finding the time means I’ve been very lazy of recent – at least in terms of adding material to the site – Burgundy Report is ticking along nicely for next months issue though. Anyway a nice dinner on Friday evening and no TN’s… Read More

If you want to buy white Burgundy from 2012, and there are brilliant wines out there, then the simple question is ‘how to find them?’ Here is my rough guide; though don’t for a moment forget that it reflects what I look for in white Burgundy – tension, acidity and… Read More
The very big round-up…
Here’s a compendium of wines, mainly 2011s and virtually all from bottle, mainly tasted with producers. I would have tasted many, many more in March/April but (sadly) had to cancel my visits. You will also see more and more 2012s as we move through into July-November. I’m afraid I still… Read More
