2021: The Surprise of the Heterogeneous Few

By Steen Öhman January 25, 2023 - Leave a Comment

As I was a harvester in 2021, I know just how bad some grapes looked at the time they were picked. Creating lovely wines from this mess seemed at the time rather unrealistic. The results are now almost finalised (the wines are nearing the end of their time in tank and barrel), and surprisingly, …

Hail Mary, and Some Hale Advice – Again!

By Steen Öhman December 11, 2022 - Leave a Comment

I first posted this article in 2021 and the advice is still valid! In 2021 hail fell in the core (the village) of Gevrey-Chambertin. This is a merely a thought from an old wine reviewer: Sometimes bad weather luck strikes, and hail hits - or simply touches - a vineyard. At harvest, most …
