Making lists always yields new knowledge … and so also in this case. Inspired by Guide Michelin’s rating of the best Burgundian producers, I gathered the wines that give me the most emotional pleasure and enjoyment … the three-heart vin d’émotion.
A quote does start some further reflections …
“Roy Richards the UK importer of Henri Jayer for more than 30 years, once said that Jayer, through sheer intelligence, made wines that were dramatically sensual: “He believed wines were made to be drunk, so the more hedonistic they were, the happier he was”.
I am in doubt with the whites … not that many whites are dramatically sensual …
