It happens only four times a year – the day the new issue of Burghound is released. It’s a day that quickens the pulse and brings great joy to Burgundy geeks/lovers/afficionados around the world, and today is one of those days! Issue #33, covering the 2007 & 2006 reds from the Côte de Nuits was just launched a few hours ago – if you’re not already a subscriber you really need to check it out.

Over the past 8 years Allen Meadows (Mr.”Burghound” himself) has earned his spot as the pre-eminent Burgundy writer/critic/authority on the planet, and the depth and insightfulness of his coverage is simply superb. And much to my great pleasure, starting with this issue he has added live links to the importers and agents of the hundreds of Burgundian estates and domestic Pinot wineries he reviews, allowing readers an easy path to find the wines they’re looking for. Bravo and my sincere thanks to Allen.

In the new issue we are the beneficiaries of some lovely reviews for a number of our domaines, including J-J Confuron, Jean-Marc Millot, Taupenot-Merme, and Hervé Sigaut – with some wines singled out as the ”Don’t Miss” or “Sweet-Spot” wines of the vintage. We’re honored to represent these fine producers and their wines, and thrilled that they’re being recognized for the quality they produce.

So here’s the lovely and talented Mr. Meadows, hard at work tasting a ’47 de Vogüé Musigny at the Paulée in Beaune in November 2007…
