The Darviot-Perrin Bourgogne Chardonney 2012 is a tremendous effort for the vintage and this level. It’s made from the vineyard Les Magnys (both village and generic) from very old vines planted in 1953. It offers true Meursault character at a very reasonable price level. In the bouquet fresh and crisp white and yellow fruits .. pure, quite exotic and expressive – offering a lovely minerality. On the palate fresh and vibrant for the vintage with a lovely ripe and weighty fruit. Love the fresh acidity and a fine expression of terroir. A delightful “little Meursault” in the making … impressive.

I have therefore followed the Njord project ever since, and while it is very exciting, the journey of Sune Albertsen – the ...
- Terroir Insight: Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron Romanée-Saint-Vivant In my view, Romanée-Saint-Vivant is one of the most sensual and enchanting of the grands crus.

Domaine J-J Confuron is one of the less prominent producers within this fine vineyard, and given the improvement from some of the ...

In July, I had the pleasure of visiting the estate, located in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin just opposite the Rotisserie du Chambertin on the Rue du Chambertin. At ...
- Comte Armand Clos des Epeneaux – the Monopole Pommard is an appellation of clos (walled vineyards) and quite a few monopoles.

A Wineghog reader last week was looking at maps and noticed that the Clos des Èpeneaux vineyard ...
- What are we drinking? On the border between old and new school! Not many people know this, but I am a member of the Commanderie de Bordeaux in Copenhagen (although honestly, I see little use for this membership). Bordeaux can be lovely but, sadly, rarely is these days, with global warming pumping up its wines to 14.5% or 15% … even 16%!? That said, this week I had the ...
