The Aligoté En Gerlieus is just as delicate and refined as when I tasted it from cask – cask and amphorae – in June last year. Crystal clear and airy, it is light-footed with a gorgeous core of light fennel and mineral notes. Absolutely effortless, it shows an elegant, slightly reductive note. It’s transparent, with seemingly holistic depth descending the fennel, mineral hints. I have never seen such mineral depth in an aligoté. Not a powerhouse, but very elegant.

- Flavour of the Year 2024 – Candidate No. 3I find it extremely gratifying to promote new, talented people and estates. This is also what many buyers and collectors are looking for in a world of ever-increasing prices. This is why one of the primary goals of the Winehog is to explore new producers. To explain this initiative a bit more, while I find the ...

- Visit to Domaine de Cassiopée – Tasting the 2022sNothing is more pleasing than following new estates and seeing the success of hard-working vignerons. When they have chosen the high road and located their estate – in this case Domaine de Cassiopée – in Maranges (more precisely, Sampigny-les-Maranges), then my admiration is even greater. A lot of collectors can’t see past Vosne-Romanee and the grands ...

- Flavour of the Year 2022 – Domaine Les HoréesI find it gratifying to promote new, talented people and estates; this is one of the primary functions of the Winehog. Young, small, negociants and estates do not have the same exposure or access to noble terroirs, although their efforts are at least as admirable and enjoyable. The Winehog “Flavour of the Year” award is for these young and/or ...
- Visit to Domaine de Cassiopée – Tasting the 2021sOne of the most popular articles on the Winehog site last year was the introduction of Domaine de Cassiopée, a new star estate in Maranges – or more precisely, Sampigny-les-Maranges. This truly makes me happy, and proud of the readers here. It shows than some people really can see beyond the Vosne grands crus or ...

- Domaine de Cassiopée’s LabelsThe 2021 Flavour of the Year award went to Domaine de Cassiopée, where Talloulah Dubourg and Hugo Mathurin express their talent through hard work.

- First visit to Domaine de Cassiopée – tasting the 2020sDomaine de Cassiopée is a new estate in Maranges – or more precisely, Sampigny-les-Maranges. To be honest, the Winehog rarely goes to Maranges – Brompton struggles to manage the trip on one charge. But with a little help from my friends, I had the opportunity to visit the delightful couple Talloulah et Hugo Mathurin. Sampigny-les-Maranges The Maranges appellation ...
