live links – dead links…
If anyone’s having problems – sorry. The whole site was re-linked (with redirections) overnight. The site will be easier to manage but you might experince quite a lot of dead links if you’ve bookmarked any particular pages – just so you know. The NoteFinder is today’s biggest casualty – hopefully back later today… live links...
l’arlot 1999 nuits 1er clos des fôrets st.georges
1999 l’Arlot, Nuits St.Georges 1er Clos des Fôrets St.Georges The cork shows sign of some seepage. Medium-plus and quite young in colour. The nose is right from l’Arlot’s more gothic implementation of stems – it’s a bit harsh and imposing, not quite what I’d call perfume – there’s also a strong mineral element that veers...
burgundy forum
Burgundy Forum is here. I made a forum – I have to say, it was surprisingly painless to install. What won’t be painless, and will most likely take at least a week of part-time fiddling, will be my attempts to make it look like it fits to the site, rather than some techie add-on. Have...
wow – erobertparker…
I just checked, but it’s not April 1st. I considered it superfluous before – but let me know – should Burgundy-Report have it’s own forum? On second thoughts I might have to do more work – a lingering death for wine-bulletin boards? Well given the reach of that site, comment will now be all the...
jean raphet 1999 chambertin clos de bèze
I decided to buy the last bottles at the shop before publishing this, shame there were only 2 left! If I were you I wouldn’t believe the winesearcher result for switzerland for the next few days This wine is not yet the ‘full package’, but in terms of aroma and texture, coupled to no flaws,...
2002 pousse d’or volnay 1er clos des 60 ouvrées
2002 La Pousse d’Or, Volnay 1er Clos des 60 Ouvrées Medium, medium-plus colour but quite an amber caste – I wonder how this has been stored. The fruit has a pronounced jammy aroma and some dried cranberry, eventually widening to give a dark cherry and some dark minerality at the core. Sweet in the mouth...
fooey fuées!
Lots of Chambolle 1er Les Fuées with Jacky Rigaux last night – while the site was looking a bit odd after the server change – if odd for half a day is all I have to put up with, that’s fine! Back to the Fuées; when I say lots, it was ‘only’ ten wines. If...

hoping the sky doesn’t fall in!
In the next few days the whole of this site will be moving to another server. I’m quite sure that this is a tried and tested process and that nothing can go wrong. That said, this is my last entry until all is done – 2 days, 3 days or the sky falling in –...
david clark 2006 bourgogne au pelson
Well, it’s not Musigny Vieilles Vignes, but it is very drinkable… 2006 David Clark, Bourgogne Au Pelson Medium-plus cherry-red colour. The nose has dark flashes of oak, suggestions but never any hard evidence of reduction and a very nice brambly dark fruit. Intense, very good fruit and a good villages-level of depth and complexity. Mouth-watering...
1997 de vogüé musigny vieilles vignes – yuk!
1997 Comte Georges de Vogüé, Musigny Vieilles Vignes Do you ever find yourself trying to find an excuse to drink a corked wine? Initial cost of purchase may have had something to do with it. I have to say that for about 3 or 4 minutes I’d convinced myself that if I swirled the glass...
2005 albert bichot nuits st.georges
So what to do while watching all the visitors (5,450 during the day though only 3,600 unique…) pile into the Spring report. Something modest, but very tasty methinks… 2005 Albert Bichot, Nuits St.Georges Medium, medium-plus cherry-red colour – it still looks a baby. The nose is a little tight but still manages to round-out the...
