Bacchus as symbol, new wine cellar – the sancturary, diverse portfolio, from North to the far South in Burgundy/Beaujolais – full range of tasting notes

cellar door sale, organic – own compost, sale, trade in and out, pay for the land even within the family

Rossignol Trapet- two families in Gevrey, from Beaune to Gevrey, biodnyamic not a question of money but more, small quantity, expression of pure fruit, does it overshadows terroir – you tell? Beaune vs. Gevrey,

The domaine with Dominique Lafon, Le Montrachet & beyond, winemaking question of art, tasting wines over Burgundy, high tech and bottle proof, sulphites levels, what about terroir…

From Tokaj to Burgundy and from Nuits St Georges to Vosne Romanée, expanding – moving to the new cellar, hands on winemaking, almost a one man show, innovation, terroir difficult to explain but let’s give it a go, the magnificent Malconsorts

From domaine bottling to fame, family owned and will always be, let the soil express itself, terroir nothing but the terroir, different styles of Nuits St George – not all true Nuits, talking vintages, can you reclassify?

Taking a right just at Puligny arrive after Gamay, Burgundy is Burgundy, the taste of the terroir, seven children on seven ha, working with barrel sizes, from Chassagne to St Aubin, high density plantings

In the hearth of Pommard, heaviest Pinot, no Grand Cru but there is Fremiers too and Rugiens if you want, history runs long in Burgundy – Domaine Coste Caumartin 1793, agriculture raisonnée, Jerome Sordet – always with a smile

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?!

If you would to use one word to describe Frédy Mugnier personality only, you probably would end up with the: modest characterization. He doesn’t talk too much this is certain but let the wines talk for himself and they do talk…you can bet on it: his “wine is bottled poetry”.
