I am often asked by readers and friends about restaurants in Burgundy. There are many ... but still I tend to end up in the same places due to ambiance, food and wine selections. These are my prefered places currently.

Volnay is in my view one of the most exciting appellations with many very interesting producers and a price level where even regular people stand a chance.

Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini. Yes, It is a long and difficult name. But names tell a story, give some history, and are therefore important in how we present ourselves to the world.

The 2021 vintage is slightly fragile and high on the acetates ... its therefore the perfect occasion to display the qualities of berry-by-berry viticulture ... and goodness me what a delight .. all the complexity one could dream of ..

We need to indulge ... we need hedonism and joy ... but we dont need speculative markets to send the Burgundy prices through the roof ..

The Roulot ’20s have an airy effortlessness that makes them beautifully refined, while still maintaining the impressive intensity found in the vintage. Yes they are that good ...

In recent weeks I have gotten a better grip on the 2020 vintage of white Burgundies, and let me be direct: Now, after a few weeks of tasting Domaine Leflaive and Domaine Roulot, I’m convinced that the 2020s are amongst the best whites I’ve ever sampled.
