Vintage Report 2023

“À point” in 2025 … flowering has begun”

By Steen Öhman May 28, 2025 - Leave a Comment

The 2025 harvest is now on the horizon and people are - or at least should be - counting the days and hours, and be ready to spring into action when the grapes are ready, or "à point." The last vintages have shown that harvest timing is becoming increasingly important and complex as the optimal …

The 2023 white Burgundies – Take 1

By Steen Öhman February 28, 2025 -

I have now have started to taste the big producers of white 2023s, and must say that the diversity of the vintage matches that of the reds ... i.e. big variation in yields and phenolic ripeness. This is a vintage that can and often will offer great pleasure, but it is sadly a very bumpy ride, as …

Impressions: vintage 2023 … “halfway point”

By Steen Öhman October 6, 2024 - Leave a Comment

The disastrous 2024 vintage has set the 2023 vintage in an even more attractive and favorable light. The 2023s, in many ways, can supply what Burgundy will now be lacking: wine! The 2024 vintage will be extremely small, especially for the reds, whereas 2023 has reds and whites in abundance (let's …
