short notes from the Winehog …

The last sun ...

Lovely taste of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 from Antoine Lienhardt served by Héloise. All quite typical for the vintages … well made and wow looking forward to the 2025s. ...

What a delightful wine … some VA … lovely Chambolle fruit … beautiful mid-palate intensity … live this ...

The 2021 Comte Liger-Belair is elegant and with a lovely balance. Oak well integrated already … ...

Lovely Vosne village 2022 from Amelie Berthaut … starting to shed a bit of its sweetness and young fruit. Lovely refined expression … showing very well ...

Delightful lightfooted Bourgogne rouges from Simon Bize … showing the best sides of 2022 ...

Clos de la Perrière with owner Bénigne Joliet ... lovely tasting of 2024 and 2023. Really impressed by the white 2024 Clos de la Perrière and the red 2023s ... very interesting tasting of the influence of different oaks and amphoraes ... ...

NSG fall … lovely weather… while the wines are getting ready in the cellars ...

Sunday … NSG October boredom … always good to see the guys at the cafe de C ...

The delicacy of simplicity … la Cuverie de Vosne … this is in my view the best dish in Nuits-Saint-Georges currently - just show how much other places can fuck up even simple dishes 🙈🥵 ...

A stairway to powerty… and enjoyment ...

A brilliant Corton Clos du Roi
from Chandon de Briailles 2022 - floral and ultra refined … a rose blessing … simply adorable ...

Excellent 2024s from Chartron … fine phenolic ripeness … very elegant and cool wines ...

2021s from Liger-Belair tasted this afternoon … some real gems … all show well … but look carefully on Winehog. A lovely afternoon 🙏🏻♥️ ...

A ripe and floral Aligoté - pear and lovely mineral note. Very generous with some slightly sweeter fruit notes … still in perfect and strict mineral control … Merci Cassiopée ♥️ ...

Roisin Curley an Irish girl in Beaune. Enjoyable wines with a prominent and distinct style - quite classic - but with a fine balance and energy - A lovely and charming meeting … will be back for the rest of that 2022 white Beaune 😁 ...

From the heights of Nuits-Saint-Georges - Le Côteau des Bois - you see the true gems of this lovely village. ...

no doubt good wines were made in 2025!!

… but the praise now sounding from parts of the Beaunoise elite is in relatively sharp contrast to the actual conditions during the harvest. One month of harvest with strongly shifting conditions … a uniform vintage … hardly. But it was indeed a very strange vintage … with at times a lovely potential … more to come!! ...

The base Pataille Aligote is a blessing … relatively rich and generous with a discrete mineral balance and a support for most medium weight dishes. It drinks beautifully and is just what the bank ordered … even the doctor will be amused! What a treat!!! ...

Cèpes du Morvan, poires, butternut …

The French kitchen at its worst… disgracing Cépes de Morvan with pear and Butternut in a revolting combination. Cépes should be used with respect … and be allowed to shine … this is a travesty!!! ...

Richebourg qqAnne Gros a morning pick on September 6th ... before the final rain ...

Tail wagging under preasure … Pressing a pinot cuvée at Domaine Pierre-Olivier Garcia ...

Oak much better integrated … a spiky Gevrey with edges and quite some power. Has character and power! ...

another beautiful 2019 showing the refinement of this beautiful vintage. Delicately perfumed and sensuel ... the old battle between Cailleret and La Romanée continues ... always a tremendous treat Mr Morey ...

the 2019s are singing ... 10 min of air, and Saint-Aubin is bringing joy to all at the table. Beautiful now ... will keep ...

Lovely and quite intense Aligoté 2024 from Aurélie … let it get 20 min of air to focus and open up for the acidity and complexity. Slight note from presumably the lees give the wine some culinary intensity ... was thinking big Oysters naturel or even Spaghetti Vongole ...

Volnay ... beautiful Volnay ... I adore the joy and livelyness I get from the best wines of this fine appellation. Volnay ... the delight of Côte de Beaune reds! ...

Tremendous Bourgogne rouge from Antoine Lienhardt … juicy and vivid with a lovely forward fruit … very enjoyable - vin d’émotion ...

Simple … delightful … to be honest actually the opposite of what many French restaurants tarnish their plates with of « complexities ». Simple and honest food … merci Dilettante ...

a gorgeous Fixin from Galeyrand ... juicy and vivid. To me one of the best vignerons in Burgundy. With even modest terroirs he makes great wines ... true vin d`émotion. ...
