Nothing like being here…
Sitting in Volnay and reading the new Burghound report, looking out the window at the wineries and vineyards that are in the reviews. As much time as I spend here every year, it never gets old. I have a deep attachment to this place and these wines and these people. It just makes me deeply happy inside. (And of course even happier when our producers get killer reviews, as they all did today!)
Huge congratulations to all of our Cote de Beaune producers, who all received deservedly excellent scores in Allen Meadows’ new issue today: Michel Lafarge, Huber-Verdereau, Violot-Guillemard, Comte Armand, Aleth Girardin, Lucien le Moine, Benjamin Leroux & Hugues Pavelot – wow, what a line-up we’ve got, if I say so myself…
I have so much to write but so little time to write it while I’m tasting up and down the Cote. I try to squeeze in as many Facebook and Twitter posts as I can, but never seem to have the time for the longer pieces I want to write while I’m here. The time I had intended to use for writing this morning was usurped by devouring the new issue of Burghound, so I’ll leave it with this thought for now – The Lafarge Clos du Chateau des Ducs Makes me want to fall in love. I haven’t swooned like that since I met my wife…
