Published by Kristian Kielmayer under Austria

The first wine of 2010, almost 200 wine makers from the Weinviertel showcase their wines. Fantastic venue, the Hofburg.

The P’s – Puligny and Paul Pernot

Published by Kristian Kielmayer under Burgundy

Family winery; Domaine Paul Pernot. Classic labels, volume yet precision fruit and great, intelligent oak use. Skip French breakfast – have some Folatieres! Take reds when you want whites, too. Puligny Montrachet the epitome how a Chardonnay should be or is it the unique, inimitable terroir?!
