I find it gratifying to promote new, talented people and estates; this is one of the primary functions of the Winehog.
To explain this initiative a bit more, while I find the work of young vignerons like Charles Lachaux truly admirable, these well-known producers already have the complete attention of the wine world and, furthermore, plenty of great vineyards with which to express themselves.
Young, small, negociants and estates do not have the same exposure or access to noble terroirs, although their efforts are at least as admirable and enjoyable.
The Winehog Flavour of the Year award is for these young and/or new talents in Burgundy.
