2024 a halfway point in the tastings
I have now tasted quite some 2024s, and while the quality of the whites could be said to look very promising.. the reds seem to give a somewhat confusing picture. Some reds are light and lightfooted with a lovely, fragile perfumed style, while others have a much more intense and powerful style, partly driven by…
New season … vintage 2024
May is the change of season at Winehog as I start of with looking at the 2024 vintage. The wines are now at a stage where at least some of…
2024 … it’s a wrap
Let’s face it the 2024 vintage did not fall out like we hoped for!! Words like catastrophe and disaster are being used quite frequently about a vintage that size-wise perhaps…
Burgundy 2024 – fermenting – Prices and Consequences
The harvest is almost over except for a few late starters and bloomers. A very difficult harvest with yields well or even way below the normal … “a disaster,” as…

Burgundy 2024 – fermenting – the serious issues
The time has come to evaluate the findings and details found during the 2024 harvest – what is good – and what is bad seen here before the fermentation. I…

Vintage 2024 … a battle for ripeness
The harvest has now started … with the reds … as we see serious struggles with getting sufficient ripeness in the whites. There is a good acidity so there is…
Visits and tastings 2024 vintage
Visit Domaine Jean-Marie Fourrier, tasting the 2024s
There is no reason to write several pages about the greatness of Jean-Marie Fourrier … he is plain, and simply one of the very best producers of red Burgundy … and I really mean VERY BEST! I love the silky and elegant wines, the hedonistic joy you get from the wines – the lovely drinkability……

Visit to Domaine Roulot – Tasting the 2024s
The 2024 vintage, with the low alcohol and the lovely transparent and airy fruit, is a wonderful treat. The pheenolics are ripe … just ripe … with a cool note. Most of the wines have almost optimal phenolics … close to… and this is in my view a tremendous opportunity for getting a great vintage.…

Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard tasting the 2024s
Finally, I had the opportunity to visit Céline Fontaine-Gagnard, the talented vigneron at Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard. Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard was founded by Laurence Gagnard – the daughter of Jacques and Marie-Josèphe Gagnard – and her husband Richard Fontaine in 1985. Today Céline Gagnard is running the estate … tuning in the refinement and delicacy of the wines.…
Domaine Patrick Javillier … a short visit
Sometimes I am lucky to join short visits to interesting producers – appetisers for a future visit, one could call it. Such visit was the small tasting at Domaine Patrick Javillier in the very core of Meursault. At this visit, Agent Karine (my good friend) introduced me briefly to Marion Javillier, a very cheerful and…
Maison Géraldine Louise – an amphorae to remember
There are many small and exciting estates in Burgundy, and sometimes, I am thrown head over heels into tastings in these small estates. It’s fine, I rather enjoy this, but when I come back to NSG, I often remember all the things I should have asked about and documented. In this case, I did not…

Visit to Clément Boillot tasting of Ghislaine Barthod and Louis Boillot
In December, I was back at Domaine Ghislaine Barthod to taste the 2024s with Clément Boillot, who had prepared a small selection of the estate’s wines. Clément Boillot has now taken over the winemaking at both the parents’ estates … Domaine Ghislaine Barthod and Domaine Louis Boillot. So a small tasting of two estates that…

Pernot Bélicard – vintage 2024
Burgundy is fascinating, as you can explore the wines of the region for decades and visit the villages for years, and yet some estates are strangely falling outside your scope unfairly. Domaine Pernot-Bélicard is one such estate … I visited there in 2017, and was impressed … and the good feeling about the wines was…
Ledy Vins by Aurélie 2024
Ledy Vins is a new, exciting estate in Nuits-Saint-Georges. 2023 was Aurélie’s first vintage, and in 2024, she has already expanded the portfolio with three new wines – including a Grand Cru from the Corton vineyard. The level of creativity and the energy charge coming from this small domaine is flabbergasting – and leaves the…
Visit to Domaine Thomas-Collardot – Tasting the 2024s
Jacqueline Collardot and her son Matthieu run the small Puligny estate Thomas-Collardot. I visit this estate quite often – as I like the wines and the people. This is sort of reminds me of the times when Burgundy was less stressed and commercial. Big thx to Matthieu and Jacqueline for the generosity and hospitality. The…

Alussia … the former Mayhem
Burgundy is a very small world, and it’s interlinked in many peculiar and explainable ways. The family links are many, and there are many connections that are not that well-known to the outsiders. And they turn up when you least expect them. I was tasting at Jane Eyre just south of Beaune when I ran…
Visit to Domaine Jérôme Galeyrand – Tasting the 2024s
I am near the end of the 2024 Reds, and I must say that it has been a nice journey, but also an enduring climb. 2024 is an enjoyable vintage despite the conditions. It was a struggle to produce good wines, but some have succeeded anyway. They are, at best, rather cool and considered by…

Visit to Domaine Mugnier – Tasting the 2024s
The Mugnier 2024s are, as expected, a very small vintage, with the wines reflecting the coolish climatic conditions that were present for most of the growing season. François Moriamez Mugnier has made the wines according to potential and possibility, hence, he has not tried to stretch the wines via heavy extraction or other vinification tricks.…

Skyaasen – first visit
Skyaasen is a new micro négociant located in the very core of Meursault. The estate was started 5 years ago by a Norwegian-American couple who moved to Burgundy in 2017. I tasted a wine from Skyaasen at some good friends’ dinner, and decided to go there to taste, as the wine I tasted had some…
Visit to Domaine Méo-Camuzet – Tasting the 2024s
It seems like Jean-Nicolas Méo is on a winning streak. Each vintage has shown very well during the last four to five years. But what about the 2024 vintage ? A difficult year, and a year that does not seem like it would suit the Méo style perfectly. Some 2024s have a somewhat austere side,…

Visit to Domaine Grivot – Tasting the 2024s from tank
Domaine Grivot is normally quite predictable and constant, with the same wines showing strong year after year. 2024 is, however, somewhat different due to the difficult and unpredictable growing season. This is the case for all domains. Not even Grivot was spared. Like many other estates, this is not an easy vintage. Good wines have…

Visit Domaine Coffinet Duvernay: Tasting the 2024s
I am slowly but surely getting on top of the 2024 whites. And I must say … what a treat. The wines are delightfully balanced, cool in style … reminding me of good vintages of the past. Would we call the wines classic? I would say yes, though there are some comments one needs to…

Visit to Domaine Duroché – Tasting the 2024s
The 2024 vintage was difficult, as the production was very limited. Duroché have many small cuvées … some were not made in 2024, others were not served due to the limited production. This is the name of the game in 2024, where some surprisingly good wines were made. As always, the visit to Domaine Duroché…

Domaine des Chézeaux 2024 … back in Gevrey-Chambertin
A new estate has emerged in Burgundy – Domaine des Chézeaux – or should I say the new Domaine des Chézeaux – based on the vineyard holdings of the Mercier family, who owned the Domaine des Chézeaux estate located in upper Gevrey-Chambertin. Domaine des Chézeaux was sold to Charles Van Canneyt and his wife Anne-Sophie…

Visit to Domaine Y. Clerget – Tasting the 2024s
Thibaud Clerget has been busy the last couple of years, and he has constucted a new office and storage building at his domaine in Pommard. More importantly, he has expanded his estate with a big share of the former Domaine Régis Rossignol-Changarnier estate. This expansion is now complete and the vineyards are now included in…

Flavour of the Year 2026 – Edouard Confuron
Sometimes we need to go back to basics … Vosne Romanée … and the classical yet updated style of Pinot Noir – a style that accommodates the modern wine making under global warming. During my tastings at Domaine Edouard Confuron’s wines (first vintage was 2021), I have waited for and encouraged the day when all…

Visit to Domaine Edouard Confuron – Tasting the 2024s
Edouard Confuron has rapidly become one of the new guys to follow in Vosne-Romanée. Edouard comes from the big and quite diverse Confuron family, as he is also a core part of the Confuron-Gindre estate together with his father. Edouard is working both with his father on the Confuron-Gindre estate, but is also creating his…

Visit to Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet – Tasting the 2024s
Back in Fixin …. actually, this is my second visit to Fixin this fall. Not impressive, I know, but a serious cold prevented me from attending the open domaine event in Fixin this weekend. I like a well-made Fixin, but also feel that many estates here still have issues in judging the oak level ……

Domaine Maume-Siblas new beginnings
Domaine Maume-Siblas is an estate originating from the old Maume Domaine in Gevrey-Chambertin. The demise of the Maume estate is quite complex, and somehow also a bit irrelevant, as it is now 15 years since the main parts of the Maume estate were sold to Marchand-Tawse. Yes, Maume-Siblas originate from the Maume domaine, but in…
Visit to Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg – Tasting the 2024s
2024 is in many ways an unusual vintage. It was humid, low yields and several more challenges on the way to the bottle. The main challenges were issues with the flowering, and then, devastating mildew … the worst ever according to experienced vignerons. The production was down to 70% and while some respectable wines were…

New vintage new labels from Ledy Vins by Aurélie
Ledy Vins is a new, exciting estate in Nuits-Saint-Georges – owned and conceptualised by the fabulous Aurélie. This is a new and surprising domaine … with a lot of power and ideas charged and ready to unleash… an explosion of energy and some lovely and attractive wines. An amazing combination of lovely wines, lovely and…

Visit to Domaine Cathiard – Tasting the 2024s from Cask
November tradition – tasting with Sebastien Cathiard at Domaine Cathiard in Vosne-Romanée… this year, vintage 2024. Sebastien is showing a limited lineup as the low yields prevent the production of two cuveés (Thorey and Murgers) and the serving of others – there is so little wine in 2024. The ’24s from Domaine Cathiard 2024 was…

Visit to Domaine Georges Noëllat – Tasting the 2024s from Cask
I always enjoy tasting at Domaine Georges Noëllat, where Maxime Cheurlin has, for more than a decade now, produced some memorable wines. The 2024 vintage was one of the more difficult challenges as the mildew pressure was very severe. Maxime have done well … it is, however, a lesser vintage with all the advantages this…

Visit Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat – Tasting the 2024s from Cask
Charles Van Canneyt has upped his game in recent years, from small steps to big leaps forward in 2023 and now even in 2024 … I therefore had a great feeling when visiting Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat to taste the 2024 vintage – a feeling of energy and stronger vin d’émotion presence in the wines presented, even…

Domaine Pierre-Olivier Garcia 2024
Domaine Pierre-Olivier Garcia is close to the Winehog as I did the harvest (or part of it anyway) at Domaine Pierre-Olivier Garcia in 2021, 2022, and 2023, and was more on the sideline in 2024 and 2025 … see the comments below regarding my connection to PO Garcia. I have therefore been able to follow…
Visit to Domaine Jean-Marc Millot – Tasting the 2024s from Cask
Alix Millot have made some good 2024s … good for the vintage and for the appellation. As always with the 2024s they are not amongst the most powerful wines in history, but when well made – like the Millot wines – they can produce quite some hedonistic happiness. There are limits … and follow the…

Visit to Domaine Jean-Luc Burguet tasting the 2024s
My visit to Domaine Jean-Luc Burguet (formerly Domaine Alain Burguet) in Gevrey Chambertin was one of the most positive tastings I had in 2024. Jean-Luc Burguet is a delightful, thoughtful and first and foremost, cheerful vigneron who makes beautiful and hedonistic Pinots … just the way I like them … The 2024s Let’s face it…

An exciting estate – Alvina Pernot
Sometimes, the wine world throws you a curveball which set the wines and Burgundy in a slightly different light. The visit was Alvina Pernot – the granddaughter of Paul Pernot in Puligny-Montrachet, a relatively new estate, it was started in 2018 – still building experience and taking over more and more vineyards from the family.…
Swapping barrels …
Vignerons normally harvest their own vineyards, and get their grapes from their own plots. It seems, however, that an increasing part of the wine production is coming from bought grapes, i.e grapes from vineyards owned by others. This can be a sale of grapes, of juice or even “more or less” finished wine … where…
The Roses of Vosne-Romanée – Tasting Domaine Jean-Pierre Guyon’s 2024s
Jean-Pierre Guyon is a man of action and change, and with the 2023 and 2024 vintages, new leaps have been taken to ensure further progress. First, Guyon started using oaks with a very light toast and was looking to decrease the use of sulphur, and then, he began a version of Baie-par-Baie destemming that he…

Visit to Domaine Antoine Lienhardt – a mixed bag of goodies
The siblings Héloïse and Antoine Lienhardt are the talented, enjoyable people behind Domaine Antoine Lienhardt in Comblanchien. These are wines I know very well as they are go-to every day wines … from the smallest cuvees to the Emphace To taste the wines here has become increasingly important, as they use a combination of different…

Rating 2024 with the 2022s, 2023s and 2025s in mind
There is no reason to beat around the mildew-infested bushes … 2024 is not a great year for the reds, while I have more hope for the whites. The 2024 reds are in the same league as 2021 … however, 2021 has more substance, and 2024 requires a lot of work to get some flavours…

Jean-Marie Guffens a great Burgundian
I’m old, I have been around for a while and I have been doing wine reviewing for quite many years now. And to be honest I can’t stand doing extensive tastings of seemingly pointless wines anymore. I see, experience and taste quite many of wines from the Mâconnais with little sense of purpose, direction or…
Visit to Domaine Jean Chartron – tasting the 2024s from cask
Chartron is becoming a favourite for the Winehog in Puligny, or should I say in Côte de Beaune, as the estate covers a large part of the Beaune whites. It is always a treat and a pleasure to visit Jean-Michel Chartron – as the wines seem to be improving year after year, Jean-Michel Chartron in…

Visit to Domaine Marc Roy – Tasting the 2024 Vintage
Visiting Domaine Marc Roy is always a treat – even at 08:00 Friday morning. Alexandrine Roy really knows what she is doing, and she knows how to make and sell her wines: through quality, hedonism, joyfulness and charm. Some history of the Marc Roy estate Alexandrine is the fourth generation at the domaine. She is…

Jacques Carillon … true Puligny 2024
I don’t like beating around the bushes … so let’s be very clear … the Montrachet hill is without a doubt the home of the greatest dry white wine terroir in the world. We do have the white Haut-Brion … but other than this I don’t really see thegreatness and complexity that will match a…
A gorgeous surprise – Ledy vins
Sometimes, great surprises can reveal themselves from your very own neighbourhood and the people you know from another context. Aurélie Ledy is a charming “neighbour” from the wine business in Nuits-Saint-Georges. She is a part of Domaine Vincent Ledy – just around the corner from my home. I always greet Aurélie and know her as…
Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair 2024s from cask
Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair … a new vintage … the 14th since I began visiting Louis-Michel and his fabulous estate in 2012. The 2024 is the smallest vintage in Domaine history (corrected for expansions of the vineyard portfolio) – only 20% of the normal production – in a year with loads of mildew and other…

Domaine Soyer – out in the open
There are many domains in Burgundy … some unknown to the international market, and some completely unknown, mainly selling grapes to the big negociants. When a new generation takes over on these domains it’s quite often that this will lead to a new direction with the production and sale of wines directly from the Domaine.…
New season … vintage 2024
May is the change of season at Winehog as I start of with looking at the 2024 vintage. The wines are now at a stage where at least some of them can be evaluated … yes I know it is early … but just remember that quite many wines are bottled during the fall ……
Visit to Domaine Nicolas Faure – Tasting the 2024s from Cask
It has been almost 10 years since I first visited Domaine Nicolas Faure in Meuilley. This gives a certain perspective … although vintages 2021 and 2024 broke the trend with global warming taking its toe with increased ripeness and generosity of fruit. Nicolas Faure’s wines are still, for me, perfect examples of vins d’émotion. They…
