"burgundy has many problems but drought has never been one of them"... Then came 2003,2009,2015,2018,2019,2020,2022 . Four of the last five vintages where marked by extreme drought. In this context, the concept of terroir, so fundamental to Burgundians, is going through a crisis i suspect.
These films wer made nearly 30 years ago and if there is one industry that has been transformed by climate change it is the wine industry. The idea of really credible wine production in the UK was still a pipe dream. …and look at the price of the top Aussie wines today. It makes me weep when I think that as a young man I could afford to drink all of Penfolds wines except Grange.
I love the completely idiotic prejudice on the part of both the Frenchman and Aussie regarding the products and methods used by the other. “It is corked?”, as if he was being cornered by an old school 60 Minutes reporter.
Fantastic videos, thank you for uploading them. They are both thoroughly enjoyable and extremely helpful.
This video is 30 years old. It has tobe taken in perspective

2020 white burg is amazing i think, some 2015 is also great. Producers play a big role 😉

Great video ,but can we get translator .
Dominique Lafon stated that the wine was badly corked. He was set up by Robinson and was extremely mad at her.
I have noticed that women seem to love Chardonnay over men. Is that really true?

Mind you, she did give M. Lafon a glass of Jacobs Creek which is asking for trouble.
Mmm... I'll take the French approach. I quite like the lack of uniformity. Contrast defines reality.
