Hospices de Beaune: Elevage by Michel Lafarge

By Steen Öhman September 1, 2023 - Leave a Comment

The importance of elevage to the Hospices de Beaune wines is often overlooked, but in reality quite a bit can be done to change and improve the Hospices' wines. I have been looking at the effects of elevage - the oak used (often the Hospices barrel), racking, barrel time, etc. - and this has led …

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or: The Past Embraces the Future

Corton, Corton, red Corton .. exploring the hill

By Steen Öhman June 24, 2019 - Leave a Comment

This week I attended a tasting of red Corton; a rare thing, in Denmark at least. The tasting included 10 Cortons from five producers, all top-flight amongst the panoply of Corton producers. The purpose was to learn: learn about different parts of the Corton vineyards, learn about the …
