We drank and ate exceptionally well at Schwarzer Adler @schwarzeradler_oberbergen in Vogtsburg im Kaiserstuhl, especially the Schweinfleisch (image 3). And not just french wines – I was very impressed with their own Spatburgunder from the Schlossberg vineyard (image 5). I can thoroughly recommend!

To finish a great day, a visit to La Rochepot, up the road from St Aubin, to meet Emmanuel Sainson @domaine_emmanuel_sainson. You might expect a range of Côte De Beaune, wines but Emmanuel has taken over the Julienas vineyards from charismatic philosopher: vigneron Vincent Audras. All made in amphora!

Thanks to a helpful hint I got to visit that rarest of Burgundian items, a new domaine in Puligny-Montrachet. Not really new, but François Caire has only just started bottling his own wines. A first look at the new labels in slide 2!

I did not take a very good picture of Bertrand Bachelet! He doesn’t look thrilled behind his wines – but I was thrilled by them. Tasting notes to come in due course. @domainebertrandbachelet

My day yesterday was mostly devoted to visiting new producers, including my first visit to @vignobles_ludovicpierrot in Corpeau, near Puligny. Second slide: Ludovic Pierrot enjoying one of his many cuvées of Santenay.

NEW TASTING REPORT

🚨NEW TASTING REPORT🚨

🍷🇳🇿 Rippon: The Mills’ Family Jewel🍷
@ripponvineyard

Read the full tasting report via the link in my bio.

Rippon, with its beautiful setting overlooking Lake Wãnaka, may be the most photographed vineyard in New Zealand, and one of the most mesmeric in the world.

Nick Mills kindly laid on this exceptional vertical line-up of the family's wines going back 30 years. The only unfortunate aspect was that our New Zealand contributor, @janeskiltonmw was out of the country, so could not be present. Hence I am impinging on her territory by writing this up.

Wãnaka means a teaching place in Māori, and courtesy of Nick Mills I certainly was taught a great deal during my brief visit.
