Visit to Domaine Sylvain Dussort – Tasting the 2021s

By Steen Öhman December 22, 2023 - Leave a Comment

I like the wines from Domaine Sylvain Dussort, and while the 2021 vintage was difficult (frost and other issues), some exciting wines from the estate are now in bottle. Anne-Caroline is gradually taking over with, of course, backing from her father. The Dussort estate Domaine Sylvain Dussort …

Blagny – A Tribute

By Steen Öhman September 27, 2022 - Leave a Comment

By Steen Öhman September 24, 2020 - Leave a Comment

Rain … finally

By Steen Öhman August 23, 2020 - Leave a Comment

The night of August 21-22 brought some long-needed and much-wanted rain to Burgundy. Looking at the measurements from Thomas Bouley in Volnay, there was around 12 mm of rainfall. Not a tremendous amount, but clearly better than nothing, as it could benefit the phenolic maturity in some …
