It’s week 10 of the 2023 tasting and I’m back in the harness, starting at 8.00 AM on a Monday morning with Sebastien Cathiard, at Domaine Sylvain Cathiard.

Jean-Nicolas Méo, most cerebral of winemakers, @domaine_meo_camuzet

Charles van Canneyt in his element at Domaine Alain Hudelot-Noëllat.

🚨NEW TASTING REPORT🚨

🍷Bouchard Père & Fils Retrospective: Years ending in 3🍷
@bouchardpereetfils

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

‘At a time when the mantra – one to which I am opposed - is that wines in Burgundy need to be made to be ready to drink early because that is what consumers are looking for, how refreshing to have the chance to enjoy, over an excellent dinner, a series of beautiful older vintages.

I had the good fortune to be invited to a very special evening at the Château de Beaune, headquarters of Bouchard Père & Fils. Firstly, we tasted a range from the 2023 vintage, after which an excellent dinner was accompanied by wines from vintages also ending in a 3. The wines were served blind with the understanding that each wine would either be the same vintage as the previous one or older. You would have thought that with this information to hand we would get the vintage right every time – but the reds turned out have a trick or two in store. Not all the wines came for the legendary Bouchard cellars – there were guest appearances from two other properties in the Artemis Domaines portfolio.

I will let the wines speak for themselves, with thanks to our host Frédéric Engerer, technical director Frédéric Weber for his useful comments about the wines, and to chef Thomas Collomb (Rotisserie du Chambertin) for a meal of remarkable quality – an outstanding take on escargots, a brilliant ris de veau and a definitive coq au vin that transcended almost every other example of this classic dish.’

Snow or no snow, the tastings keep going! An early morning visit to Christophe Roumier at @domainegeorgesroumier

Thomas Colladot at Domaine Coquard-Loison-Fleurot. He likes the 2023 vintage!

A visit to François Ambroise @maison.ambroise after too long a gap. Good to catch up again.

Mathilde Grivot presents the fine Domaine Jean Grivot’s 2023 vintage

Two visits in one with Paul Tollot Gros. He makes the wines for his mother @domaineannegros as well as his own new Paul Gros label

And a great way to finish a snowy day with the irrepressible Jean-Pierre Guyon and his wife Isabelle.
