The Burgundy year 2019 is moving rapidly towards its end after many memorable moments. To be honest, I hate mission statements and other statements of objectives, but in the end they can be a useful rounding out of the year.
The vins d’émotion – what’s in the glass

Luckily, there is a regular flow of new, talented vignerons starting estates or invigorating older family Burgundian domaines.
New talents are, if not in abundance, at least in ample quantity. We are indeed lucky.
