short notes from the Winehog …

10 years with Baie-par-Baie 🥂. We are talking about the man in the middle - Pierre-Olivier-Garcia - who has evolved and created this style of red Burgundy to perfection.

Warm congratulations to Pierre-Olivier Garcia from the Ladoix side of Corton.

Meursault harvest below Blagny ...

A new and promising estate in Nuits-Saint-Georges. It is the creation of Aurelie Ledy and produces some lovely wine from some very interesting terroirs … I am thrilled - more to come! ...

Jean-Marc Roulot at press as usual during the harvest. Good ripeness … and crucial to harvest while the acidity is sufficient. Roulot have started with the 1er crus … and with a smaller team. From now the full team is in place for the rest of the vineyards. ...

a Vin d`émotion is essential and life-giving ... it gives you a joy to share with you loved ones and their friends ...

Clos de Vougeot ... 2/3 ...

heading south from Meursault ... ...

Rain … today ….Wednesday and Thursday.

this could really change a lot … will affect the grapes harvested (yeast) and could change the rest of the ripening process if the vines are unblocked by the cooler weather and the rain. Exciting 😉🧐 ...

A delightful Grivot … the 2019s such elegant and vivid wines … will keep … but already show the magnitude of pinot noir… damn its good! ♥️♥️ ...

Harvest began yesterday - presumably amongst others - @domaine.cg.boillotvins harvested Meursault Gouttes d’Or …

Potential alcohol 13,8%

Merci to Mathieu Escoffier for starting the harvest in 2025.

August 17th must be the new “record” ...

Gargoyles of Dijon ...

Frais … Legér lovely sparkling energy … thanks to my Italian friends … lunch saved 😉 ...

Fabulous Aligoté from Sylvain Pataille … vivid almost sparkling and with a great balance for the vintage … this is entry level … damn its good ...

Thanks for many good and great moments with wine, food and royal service at Søllerød Kro.

Jan Restorff made Søllerød what it is, Jan is still Søllerød Kro.

To Jan it was pure passion …

Just two weeks ago Jan helped me with invaluable restaurant advice in Italy ... Little did I know it would be the last service.

You will be missed ...

We have liftoff ...

The essense of my summer 2025 - have a great harvest - looking very good for a global warming year ...

Pascal Marchand showing the plots on Mazis-Chambertin. Some very old wines with the Maume massale … a very interesting terroir ...

Brilliant dish …. Tomatoes from the local star Marey in Meuilley … well done ...

Last week before the Summer holiday at Maison Romane … enjoy while you can … sometimes its too late … life is a fragile happening ...

A lovely gesture from my good friends Victorine & Oronce de Beler at "Tripote et Mascagne" in the NSG hood … merci ♥️ ...

A festive new Chantereves … ...

Tasting of the delicious and refined 2024s from Comte Liger-Belair. Elegant and vivid wines - a positive surprise. Will be very rare birds … only 20% of a normal harvest. ...
