Montrachet

The creation of Bienvenues

By Steen Öhman May 12, 2020 - 1 Comment

While Burgundy is a very old, historic area, not all is what it seems regarding its wines and appellations. The Montrachet area - with Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, and the more recent Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet - was actually formalized in …

Remoissenet, Montrachet 1998

By Steen Öhman May 23, 2018 -
