2022 Burgundy En Primeur | First Impressions
2022 is a wonderful vintage in Burgundy. For both reds and whites, top winemakers have not put a foot wrong. It’s no surprise that we found winemakers so smiley – the quality is superb, and for the first time in a while, they have some quantity too. The wonderful wines we have now tasted really […]

Burgundy 2021 Vintage – Some real joy against all odds
It’s no longer breaking news that in 2021 Mother Nature threw everything at vignerons – across France – but in Burgundy the punishing impact on the vineyards, and on the yields, seemed somehow more tangible.

2020 Burgundy | Part 2 – Beaune to Mâcon
Our visits to Burgundy in the Autumn each year are planned to coincide with the moment the vignerons have finally ‘got away’ all the wines from the recent harvest, and they’ve had a moment to recover from the strains and stresses of vintage, an all-consuming and monumentally physical time. The trick is to try and […]

2020 Burgundy | Part 3 – Côte de Nuits & Côte de Beaune

2020 Burgundy | Part 4 – Côte de Nuits (cont.)
Day 3 – Wednesday, 10th of November The weather turned ugly. Or at least, had a poor night’s sleep and didn’t put on any makeup.

2020 Burgundy En Primeur: First impressions
Our annual visit to Burgundy this year was a tale of two halves, and I’m not just talking red & white. After the difficulty of the 2019 tasting run, where Charles and I had to tackle every producer over a 10-day stretch (to avoid self-isolating twice on return), we decided this year to split up […]
