Burgundy Insights from the Winehog

Domaine Georges Noëllat, Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Cras 2013

By -

Ok I may be a bit biased here .. I love the Aux Cras terroir. In the bouquet lovely red and dark berry fruit airy and brought forward by a energetic minerality. On the palate quite rich and very vibrant with a lovely pure and refined midpalate fruit and a playful minerality – so typical of this delightful terroir. Love the energy in this wine … and although it lacks a bit of the filigree refinement of Les Petits Monts … its a gorgeous glass of pinot.

Vins d’émotion – wines that offer joy and hedonistic thrills

The principle with vins d’emotion is that they bring you extraordinary joy and hedonistic thrills.  A wine can be great, and at the same time not quite be a vin d’emotion.

All wines that evoke these emotional responses deserve a recommendation, and I have therefore created four levels of emotion recommendation: from the true and rare vin d’émotion to wines with some emotional potential.

A true vin d’émotion – a Burgundy of passion

A truly hedonistic wine – lively and enjoyable

A vivacious wine for pure indulgance
