By Steen Öhman November 8, 2022 - Leave a Comment

Let's talk about whites, and about the duration of elevage - the maturation time between harvest and bottling. Some mature for 12 months or even fewer; others 24 months or more. One thing is certain: This choice does influence the expression of the wine. The length of elevage is not, however, …

Charles Lachaux – Taking Burgundy Further

By Steen Öhman August 20, 2022 - 1 Comment

From Morey to Vosne – in pictures

By Steen Öhman July 1, 2021 - Leave a Comment

Just back from tasting the 2019s at Domaine Dujac with Jeremy Seysses - a magnificent tour of this delightful vintage, and a treat to taste the bottled wines. The trip from Nuits-Saint-Georges to Morey-Saint-Denis was rainy, to say the least (raining hogs and pigs), and Brompton was both dirty …
