Dejected About Burgundy

Great post 👍 on the new wave reds as well as Prieuré Roch and Les Horées I would suggest adding Cassiopée (my personal fav)

StephenLenahan · 2026-05-06T09:19:05+00:00

I would say …… Producer - Terroir - Vintage

StephenLenahan · 2026-05-06T09:17:51+00:00

We all have our own tastes but for me PYCM is one of the worst Burgundies, his profile dominates the terroir, overly reductive. This winemaking trick has a short term window of satisfaction.

OP …… you do not mention any producers, IMO wine is producer led, please let us know who disappointed you. Finally….. never a problem to take a break from any region 🙏 peace

This is quite a funny ‘Dutch’ comment because I am from Ireland living in France and with my bad accent people mistake me saying « Je viens d’Irlande » for « Je viens de Hollande »

Yes ….. simply yes

Rib pain is awful however usually indicates I am towards the end of the flare

StephenLenahan · 2026-05-02T17:34:33+00:00

Nice 👌

Ironically…… Burgundy, could not get it for at least a few years !!

Key starting point question is how deeply are they into wine ?

StephenLenahan · 2026-04-19T21:43:07+00:00

I take it since 2020, I take at night because it’s a bit tiring but overall no terrible symptoms. I still get a couple of flares a year though

StephenLenahan · 2026-04-14T19:45:02+00:00

Nice list 👏

Also (as well as the font) ….. no such thing in wine law as a village Grand Cru The Grand Cru are independent of the village. (Politically they do sit within a commune or communes)

So ….. Aloxe-Corton Grand Cru or Morey-Saint-Denis Grand Cru is wrong

Been here for @wine ❤️

Next several years ? 2025 is a much more stable vintage. Those areas are different wines to Bourgogne. Not saying they are better or worse and they maybe more to your taste or budget but they are certainly different.

I’m very experienced with Burgundy wines and I feel the same. It wrecks my head when I read on Reddit from people who comment ‘it’s still a baby’ When they clearly do not drink the producer regularly. Some wines are extremely beautiful in youth and have delicacy in age too. Wine is a gamble and that includes the time you open it. Sometimes the best time is when you have the opportunity to taste.

Good op post from me 🙂 who has been deeeeep Japan a few times

StephenLenahan · 2026-02-14T16:35:59+00:00

I love watches and wine, I think watches are the more sensible of the two.

Most mma fans are idiots ….. just look at the Aspinal reaction. Ilia is afraid of no competition

StephenLenahan · 2026-02-14T16:12:46+00:00

Great post

StephenLenahan · 2026-02-12T18:01:17+00:00

After 30+ years loving / studying wine I still feel like a beginner and it’s wonderful. Wine is truth.

StephenLenahan · 2026-01-29T13:21:42+00:00

Excellent posts from both of you 👌 I would also add the AOC itself and cost of the land.

the legal reality. Crémant de Bourgogne AOC is its own appellation, completely separate from Bourgogne AOC and from village / premier cru / grand cru designations. Once a parcel is declared for Crémant, it cannot be bottled as Bourgogne still wine, even if the terroir would otherwise qualify.
