Burgundy Insights from the Winehog

Bouchard Pere et Fils, Beaune St. Landry 2016

By -

One of my favourite wines from Bouchard Pere et Fils is the white Beaune from Clos St. Landry – and this is also the case in the 2016 vintage. The nose is classic – citrus infused minerality, hint of honey and yellow fruit – intense but still fresh. On the palate intense and very balanced, lovely density with a airy and slightly creamy feel. Classic white Beaune – well priced – and a delightful glass.

Vins d’émotion – wines that offer joy and hedonistic thrills

The principle with vins d’émotion is that they bring you extraordinary joy and hedonistic thrills.  A wine can be great, and at the same time not quite be a vin d’émotion.

All wines that evoke these emotional responses deserve a recommendation, and I have created four levels of emotional recommendation: from the true and rare vin d’émotion to wines with some emotional potential.

A true vin d’émotion – a Burgundy of passion

A truly hedonistic wine – lively and enjoyable

A vivacious wine for pure indulgance

A wine with a emotional potential
