short notes from the Winehog …

Almost home … Train Bleu the bar … a tradition ...

Roumier Cras 2009 is fresh from a cool cellar. Some development … but 10 years more to reach some kind of maturity. These are not wines for the hog … although I love the Roumier wines. ...

Fresh, léger … not unfolding great complexity … a delightful glass ...

Merry Christmas ... thanks to my Austrian and danish family for this festive treat. A beautiful tradition! ...

The 2017 Clos du Château from Comte Liger-Belair continue to deliver tremendous emotional moments … Pinot droit rules!

The 2009, 2010, 2015 and the 2019 are bigger and better wines in the long run. But I do love my 2017s ...

Premnord in beautiful cloudy mood … ...

A dark return … hoho ...

Love this square with all its traffic and restaurant fronting Gare de Lyon ...

Christmas Sun in Nuits-Saint-Georges ...

As always a treat to visit this estate. Whites show great promise and potential.

The reds have some gorgeous moments with the Volnay Santenots showing class and complexity … love this terroir ...

Lovely Meursault from Javillier … the 2024 has character and refinement. 2024 is a lovely vintage ...

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod + Louis Boillot … both produced by Clément Boillot have done well in 2024. Good depth and feel🥂 ...

Lovely 2024s … 100% whole cluster … juicy and energetic. The Les Haut Maizieres is a true treat … love the depth and the intensity. ...

in a Burgundy world where more and more is appearances and social formalities ... after a month with the big auction traversty made by the Beaunoise and followed by the usual cheer and crowning of the great and the hopeless at Vougeot ... I sometimes wonder why we bother ... fade to gray! ...

Tremendous 2024s from Georges Glantenay … extremely tasty and well made … intelligent use of the possibilities of the vintage … bravo.

First of all … they drink very well … this is a great winemaker … follow and buy … ...

Maxime Dubuet Boillot … a special tasting of the 2023 1er cru and the Corton Grand Cru.

A fabulous lineup of uncompromising wines taken to the core. These are very well crafted and with a lot of reflection behind each wine. A beautiful journey into the essence of Volnay and Pommard …

Thanks for the lovely wines and the reflections … set them free … 🥂 ...

Two weeks to Christmas ...

The Winehog says thanks for 2025 ... a potentially beautiful year with a lot of beautiful bottles served. ...

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 ...
