Visit Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair – 2017s from cask

By

First taste of the 2017s from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair ... a rather fresh and vivid vintage. After 2015 and 2016 - intense and dense vintages we find the 2017 a lighter and perhaps more lively and vivacious vintage. I do find many … [Read more...] about Visit Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair – 2017s from cask

Domaine Méo-Camuzet … tasting a few 2016s

I had the pleasure of tasting a few of the Méo-Camuzet 2016s during the Grand Jours de Bourgogne. Jean-Nicolas Méo was as usual showing a range of his wines at the big Grands Jours de Bourgogne tasting at Clos de Vougeot. A rather intense … [Read more...] about Domaine Méo-Camuzet … tasting a few 2016s

Visit Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair – Re-tasting of the 2016s from cask

By

Re-taste of the 2016s from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair ... a delightful occupation.

Visit Domaine Lamarche – tasting the 2016s from cask

By

My second visit at Domaine Lamarche - and eager to see if the 2016s could match the fine wines made here in the 2015 vintage. I was impressed by the 2015s, as I historically have found wines from this estate somewhat underwhelming, but in recent … [Read more...] about Visit Domaine Lamarche – tasting the 2016s from cask

Visit Domaine Grivot: Tasting of the 2016s from cask

By

Domaine Grivot seem to go from strength to strength making lovely and enjoyable wines. The 2015s showed very well indeed, with their generous and charming style. The 2016 vintage is quite another ballgame, as the April frost played a big role in how … [Read more...] about Visit Domaine Grivot: Tasting of the 2016s from cask

Visit Domaine Georges Noëllat – tasting of the 2016s from Cask

Domaine Georges Noëllat is one of my favourite estates these days - and it seems like Maxime Cheurlin is improving year after year.

Visit Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair – tasting of the 2016s

Back to where it all began - when Winehog was conceived in July 2011 - at a tasting of Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair. Back then it was the 2010 vintage now its the 2016 edition - how time flies! While the 2010 vintage still is my favourite vintage … [Read more...] about Visit Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair – tasting of the 2016s

Visit Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, tasting of the 2016s

By

I was very impressed when I tasted the 2015s from Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux in January 2017. I was therefor eager to get back to taste the 2016s to see if Charles Lachaux has progressed further. At my last visit Charles Lachaux eagerly began to … [Read more...] about Visit Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, tasting of the 2016s
