RED BOURGUNDY 2023

This underrated Burgundian vintage will surely seduce many Burgundy lovers. A surprisingly warm vintage that produced very ripe reds that are less structured than 20 and 22, but fuller and richer than 21 and 24.  These youthful, ripe, seductive reds display soft acidity, good length and surprising aging potential : 10 to 20 years for the best wines. Medium bodied, elegant red Burgundies, that will not disappoint. A selection of upscale producers should help us verify the quality level and aging potential of this excellent Burgundy vintage.

BOURGUEIL VS CHINON CHALLENGE

This tasting offers the rare opportunity to compare two high quality red appellations from Loire Valley. Since the beginning of this millennia, Loire Valley has experienced (especially with reds) a dramatic quality increase. Previously most reds were thin, lacking ripe flavours and aging potential. Luckly a new generation of young winemakers has taken advantage of Global Warming and Mother Nature’s generosity to craft terroir wines with more depth and structure. The wines from Bourgueil and Chinon now offer great character while remaining elegant and refined. This unique tasting will permit us to compare four quality vintages of two superb Loire Valley districts, while experience the amazing leap in quality and aging potential that we have been waiting for decades.
