On the Table, In the Glass #35: The Need for Indulgence

By Steen Öhman June 3, 2022 - Leave a Comment

Let me be clear: Wine is about hedonism and joy, and it is always timely and appropriate to open a vin d'émotion. The prices of some wines are astronomical, but it is rarely the fault of the winegrower, who often gets less than 20% of the inflated grey-market price. What! How can you open ... …

Domaine Trapet Latricieres-Chambertin 2018

By Steen Öhman September 5, 2021 - Leave a Comment

I shouldn't. I really shouldn't. We all do it - and perhaps should do it more! Summer wines are casual, and for drinking with no remorse: Taste and drink with pleasure and joy rather than thinking of value and future potential. Wines should be there to enjoy without consideration or financial …

Laurent Ponsot, Griotte Chambertin “Cuvée du Saule” 2016

By Steen Öhman May 9, 2019 -

The 2016 Griotte Chambertin from Ponsot is a special wine. First and foremost this is the first vintage from the new Laurent Ponsot negotiant business and secondly this is rather a hedonistic bomb. The nose is crammed with sweet dark fruits - raspberries and mulberries - very rich and with a lovely …
