In the dark ... Blanc de Noirs a very interesting glass
Domaine Le Horées Bourgogne Blanc “Aganippe” is a brilliant blend of 2022 and 2023 ... a wine of both pleasure and energy ... give me more please!

Lovely tasting at Le Puy de l’Ours … these are tremendous wines to accompany food … the Blanc de Noir is a personals favourite … perhaps I somehov like Champagne after all 🤣 - 2023s is in my book at least matching the 2022s

Beautiful NSG La Petite Charmotte from Valéria Naudin. Give it a bit air - then it starts to sing seductive notes, lovely complexity ... with the 2022 mid-palate sweetness kept well under control.
- Bravo Valéria 👏👏👏

Weekend and tasting notes … lot of work at the tasting tables these weeks, and weekends is for writing and processing the tasting impressions.
I do not make 4 or 5 tastings a day like many others and certainly not 6 or 7 like some apparently do!
Wine should hit a emotional note … and pushing through 40 - 80 wines per day sort of miss this point … I try to find the few vin d’émotion - ♥️ - this is my mission and desire.
Wine should give hedonistic pleasure and bring joy …

Exciting tasting of Domaine Groffier 2023 with Nicolas showing two new cuvées … Chambertin and a equallly interesting white soil Bonnes Mares from the top of the Groffier plot. Great lineup of 2023s all one could hope for.

When Roumier starts to show … Oulala and the perfumed notes starts to unfold … and the fruit start to show maturing flavours … then you are in heaven. I love it … wait if you have the time ♥️

Tasting the 2024s with Pierre-Odilon Marchand at Domaine Marchand Tawse.
Very early impressions just to say hello the vintage.
Reds seem to have a willful acidity … work to be done on some wines - getting some core and midpalate weight. The Volnay Fremiets and the Gevrey Lavaux already show nice promise. The whites seem to show quite harmonious …
A cooler vintage compaired to all the recent solar vintages …
This is very initial impressions … Big thx to Odilon Marchand for the tasting
