The 2019 Vintage: The Truth from the Man on the Ground
My marathon tasting of the 2019 vintage in Burgundy will be completed by lunchtime on Friday, 4th December, after ten weeks of tasting at 200 domaines and merchants across the Côte d’Or – preceded by excursions in the Mâconnais (report published here) and Chablis (report imminent). The full reports on the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, covering over 2,500 wines in all, will be released before the end of December.
