Pupillin year two … understanding more

By Steen Öhman June 8, 2025 - Leave a Comment

This is my second visit to Pupillin and Benjamin Benoit at the estate Le Cellier Saint-Benoit. I was very excited by the first visit where I got some very interesting new wines in the book - you could actually call it an introduction to the red grape varieties that are grown in Jura aside from …

Abordable: Affordable Thirst Quenchers

By Steen Öhman August 20, 2023 - Leave a Comment

I have now lived in Burgundy for two and a half years, and during this period, wine prices in restaurants and shops have climbed significantly: 20-40%, or even more in some cases. What was vaguely affordable is now getting frightfully expensive. Some restaurateurs in the Côte d'Or have joined …
