The DRC Richebourg 2010 and a contrasting RSV

By Steen Öhman May 14, 2021 - Leave a Comment

The luxury of tasting wines from Domaine de la Romanee-Conti is a rare pleasure that one is lucky to indulge from time to time. I could say that the wines have become tremendously expensive, and I would be right. But they were always expensive, so this is really beyond the point. In some …

The delicacy and maturity of undervalued vintages

By Steen Öhman October 29, 2019 - 4 Comments

The focus on points and ratings often stands in the way of appreciating and understanding mature Burgundies from "lesser" years. We tend to collect the big, bold, "great" vintages, and that stream of velvet pinot almost washes away the delicate enjoyment of mature wines from lesser …

Bouchard Pere et Fils, Montrachet 2016

By Steen Öhman June 20, 2018 -

Lets face it - 2016 is both a great and a terrible year for the Montrachet hill. On the Chassagne side the frost was merciless and most of the havest was destroyed in the April frost, while the Puligny side produced at least some Montrachet, and while the yields were lower - Bouchard Pere et Fils …
