short notes from the Winehog …

Harvest photo from Corton … ...

Classic and light footed 2024s … reds elegant and slightly perfumed - whites georgeus and vivid. Jane Eyre does it again ...

Wow looks great … just around the corner in NSG ...

Delightful 2024s from Mark Haisma ... quite delicate and refined with some true beauties in the lineup. ...

Elegant and charming 2024 … what a treat - the Clos de Beze is a beauty ...

Aux Allots from Axelle giving the best of the village ... 2019 has the sensual feel without being 2022 vulgar ... it has the refinement only found when you look behind the surface and into the soul ... the beauty of a vin d`émotion ...

Jérôme Galeyrand have made a beautiful lineup … whites are magnificent and the reds are showing good promise for the vintage … Gevrey-Chambertin “Billard” Is a real treat … ...

A beautiful lineup of 2024s from Amélie Berthaut … elegant and energetic. Very well integrated oak … bravo ...

Domaine Marshall very interesting 2023s and 2024s. The 2023s have now found their stride … lovely complexity with the certain ceramic style … primary fruit and transparency … airy finish ...

Lovely lightly extracted classical Burgundies … no whole cluster … no fancy oak regime or ceramics. Classic pinot pure and clean … with a lovely vivid acidity … lovely.

Not great and 300p score - but truly lovely wines on the table - a 2015 NSG PLANTES AU BARON singing beautifully at lunch. Thats life in 2025 - merci Patricia for the visit ...

This is not art ... or haute couture ... but as a aperitif - Domaine Dominique Gruhier Crémant de Bourgogne, Pinot Noir d’Edouard works quite well ... fresh and léger and even found the merci of my lady ... for the price ... what can one demand ...

Why not … snow yesterday ...

Philippe Pernod is a very talented vigneron, and the result is a gorgeous lineup in 2024. Many highlights … all refined and precise … bravo ...

looking from Vougeot to Chambolle in a strange light on a freezing autumn morning ...

MAISON GÉRALDINE LOUISE ... is a small but very competent one woman estate in Rosey - Côte Chalonnaise. Louise is making some gorgeous wines from both oaks and Clayver (ceramics). Love her wines ... the purity and the vinication using the ceramics ... a great and cheerful visit. Well outside the Winehogs normal hunting grounds. ...

Anne-Caroline Dussort is slowly but surely setting her style at Domaine Sylvain Dussort ... the 2023s are very well made. Wines has a lovely phenolic ripeness and have both a fine intensity and focus. Anne-Caroline is treating delightfully. ...

Olivier Lamy have made some truly delightful 2023s. His wines becomes more and more balanced and refined year after year … wow they are good ♥️♥️♥️ ...

2024 is a difficult year but Meo has produced some very interesting and good wines - all topped with the delicate Cros-Parantoux. Clearly not a walk in the park … but the team at Meo did very well indeed ...

Would the Baie-par-Baie recipe work in 2024? In my view clearly yes - just with the flavours getting cooler and lighter … but maintaining some of the delicate elegance. Emotional wines - yes indeed! - greetings from POs charming and unstoppable cheerleaders🥂. ...

A truly delightful Marsannay from Galeyrand … vivid and smokingly energetic for a 2022 ♥️♥️ ...

Impression from Hospices de Beaune auction … rainy day with hopefully sunny wines ...

A lovely and complex old girl … developing 2 hours in the bottle/glass displaying more and more spicy notes sous-bois, orange peel and lastly a hint of coffee… a delight … even with a emotional hint ♥️ ...

Hospices de Beaune weekend … lets go ...

Champagne frais et léger … merci 😘 Bereche et Fils Le Cran Premier Cru Brut Nature … like you want it Mme ou Peut-être Mmes ...

All the press was up early and attending. Fine and relatively lightfooted 2024 … charming and most boasting a lovely drinkability … the integration of the oak is a key with so few oaks ...

The 2024 vintage was hard for the vignerons in Vosne. Cathiard had to assemble the NSG aux Murgers and the NSG Thorey … and the production was down with 50%

the 2024s are light-footed and digest … for medium term drinking … good emotionals ...

Very beautiful 2024 lineup from Coffinet-Duvernay … Bastien Duvernay has produced elegant and quite classical wines … many cuvees will have very good emotional scores.

Coffinet-Duvernay has now been promoted to ♥️♥️ vin d’émotion … both new wines and older tasted show true emotional qualities ...

Yes more days like this … a decent start … lunch is the time of the day … lovely juice … Coche does take the honor … wow it just a treat ...

NSG autumn Friday … auction and busy days next week ...

the Nicolas Faure Aligoté is out of this world. The grand cru like structure and format, the intensity and depth gives this wine a unique spot in the world of aligotees ... what a wine. The 2023 is quite complex and outgoing ... wow ... a treat ... a serious wine ❤️ ...

Beautiful RSV from Hudelot-Noellat … lively and with a lovely emotional side when the oak blows off. Lovely perfumed complexity ...
