It is no secret, and widely documented here, that I am a big fan of Burgundy. If I could drink nothing but white and red Burgundy, I’d be a happy lad. There is a lot to know when it comes to Burgundy, but once you’ve done the hard work the rewards are well worth it.

Give anyone who has ever said ‘oh, I don’t drink Chardonnay’ a glass of high quality Chablis and I will almost guarantee they change their tune.

Been a little bit of time since I wrote a tasting note here – writing tasting notes for study purposes drain the life out of you at times, but this wine is a cracker and I couldn’t resist putting something down. Full disclaimer: the wine was provided by the winemaker.

Sunday sessions take two, and this time around we’re rolling into Monday (a public holiday in NSW at least) and I’ve decided to take a look at what is probably my favourite wine growing region in the entire world: Burgundy.

Burgundy.
If Bordeaux has captured the imagination of the rich and the aspirational, Champagne of those seeking luxury and status, then Burgundy is for the hopeless romantics. There is, quite simply, nothing more exciting in the world of wine than a perfect Pinot from the Côte du Nuits, or a crisp Chardonnay from the slopes of Montrachet.
