A Vosne Romanée today, although the vineyard ("Les Hautes Mazieres") is actually (just) in neighbouring Flagey-Echezeaux, which doesn't have its own appellation, so wines from there are labelled Vosne Romanée. As is usually the case, an al fresco tasting, and I was treated to a nice sunset. Bought from Haynes, Hanson & Clark: www.hhandc.co.uk/all-wines/2018-vosne-les-hautes-maizieres-domaine-co...

Bought from Jeroboams: jeroboams.co.uk I liked this wine but not sure it offered good value for money (which is of course a strange concept to start with in the crazy world of Burgundy). I very much enjoyed sitting in this spot though - some lovely komorebi through the trees.

The last of the mixed case from Seckford, and this was a very successful Gevrey Chambertin I thought! "Mûre" is the French for blackberry, which I learned while reading the official tasting notes for this wine.

Recently came across your channel and i’m hooked! Really enjoy the light-hearted way you review Burgundy wines.
Insanely talented wine maker, she's called 'Princess Pinot' for a reason. She manages to produce stunning wines in Australia and France simultaneously and is incredibly down to earth despite earning quite the reputation. Happy you got to taste this.
You know I like the trips into the cellar and it works well as a garden combo. Now, if you're detecting both raspberry and blackberry then its probably that lesser known fruit which is a highbrid of them both ..... arise Sir Loganberry! We await confirmation from your daughter!! All the best!!
👍
aren't ya on the verge of jacking off to fancy labels?
In the late 60's, Gevrey Chambertin used to be my favourite wine (and it used to cost just over £1 in my local restaurant). I subsequently lived abroad for many years, where it was not available. When I returned to the UK, naturally I bought some, expecting great things, but alas, no. Either it had changed or I had. The last time I tried it was about 10 years ago and nobody drinking it with me liked it, so the rest of the bottle ended up being used to flavour some gravy. Later, I related this story to a wine buyer who worked for one of the major supermarkets. He nodded and then said "It's not you that's changed, it's the wine." He went on to explain that in the 60's it was common practice for producers in Burgundy to smuggle in a heavier wine such as a Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon from elsewhere to give the Pinot Noir some depth and body, but nowadays with modern stringent testing, they were no longer able to get away with that. So modern Gevrey Chambertin is thin and tasteless and best avoided. You can now get far superior Pinot Noir from many other countries and as a bonus, at a fraction of the cost.
It sounds like you like big bold reds, not elegant / nuanced / more delicate wines, which is what I think Pinot Noir does best, and is the style of wine I prefer. Each to their own! A few decades ago there was more of a tendency towards heavily extracted wines in Burgundy, and yes I can imagine there probably was a time when other grapes crept in more. In many wine producing regions (particularly in Europe) a single varietal wine only actually needs to contain a minimum of 85% of the named fruit, but the rules for most Burgundy appellations are much stricter. I've tried Pinot Noir from many different regions of the world, and personally I vastly prefer the version of it from this area of Burgundy - Gevrey Chambertin and nearby villages. I do think Spätburgunder has something interesting to offer, but all the New World (e.g. Californian) Pinot Noirs I've tasted have been jammy and/or over-oaked to my tastes. If you like that style of wine then great! I would never say one wine is superior to another, it's just what I happen to prefer. As evidenced by this channel I don't like 100% of the wines from Gevrey Chambertin I try, but when it's at its best, it is for me the wine I'd rather be drinking than any other still red wine, without a doubt.
@@BurgundyWithTweedy "Each to their own!" - Absolutely. Yes, I do like big bold reds, but not to the exclusion of other styles. I agree that Pinot Noir is best for elegant / more delicate wines, and if I were sitting under a tree in the summer, as you were in the video, then that's what I'd choose. Generally speaking, I think that the French have rested on their laurels for far too long and have lost their place as the world's leading wine producer. A few years ago, I went on a wine tasting trip to Burgundy. The thing that I remember most about that trip, is a visit to a famous vineyard (which I won't name), where the very snooty host said "This next wine is a Premier Cru and one of our special top wines". The only thing special was the price. Later, we visited a vineyard just outside the protected region, where a young couple were working hard to make it in the wine world. Their wine was superb. So basically, if you happen to own a bit of land in the right area, you can sell mediocre wine for high prices, but if your land is just down the road, you struggle to sell excellent wine at any price. And what about the expansion of the Champagne region? Suddenly, sparkling wine that was previously produced just outside the old Champagne area is now within the region and can therefore be labelled Champagne, whereupon the price suddenly sky rockets. The wine hasn't changed, only the label has changed. With a lot of French wine, the label is what you're paying for. That's not to say that they don't produce good wine; of course they do, but just because it comes from a famous vineyard, is no guide to quality. Incidentally, Eastern Europe now produces some excellent Pinot Noirs and as you say, Spätburgunder is also interesting, especially from the Ahr Valley. I agree with you though that it's good that we don't all like the same style.
Inspired by our earlier discussion, I opened a bottle of 2011 Spätburgunder from Mayschoß (auslese, trocken) to have with our dinner - lovely.
What do you do for a living, buying all these expensive wines and wandering off to eat pasta in a field can't pay much, did you win the lottery?
How nice that one of the "bricks and mortar" reached out to you. Maybe the dark fruit you detect is a mix of blackberry and raspberry behold the loganberry!! Wonderful outro was that Japanese music? All the best!!
komorebi!! And a fantastic outro too.
I suppose I'm a philistine but I prefer my wines to be chilled. My face dropped when I saw the rubber bung. That said I've never used wine tongs before you make it seem simple to use them. Only two days ago I was walking through a vinyard on tributary of the the Rhine in Switzerland. They haven't started harvesting yet there, quite small grapes were the comments from others in our group. Barbed wire to get through to get closer. I can't imagine that they are going to run away....... Shame about todays tipple, never mind. Always enjoy your garden tastings (and wine cellar) All the best!!
Fantastic silhouette on the outro👌👌. Interesting to see the semi-synthetic cork, I wonder how it is bound together. Perhaps I have one in my collection ..... Yes I own up to not throwing my corks away. I still haven't worked out what I'm going to do with them yet, any ideas? All the best!!
A fox, a wonderful mackerel sky at sunset and a liquified black forest gateaux what more does a man need? Maybe the fruit you are looking for is a loganberry not that I work for the Loganberry Marketing Council or anything, just saying😉😉 All the best!!
Lovely wine, lovely sunset!
Window pane check ,cufflinks, dark red wine...a burgundy- colored scarf would complete the look. C',mon, I dare you.
You look like someone who would be fun to taste Burgundy with
You have probably seen the current winemaker name, daughter(?) Anne.
Seeing the earlier comment suggesting you try other types of wine made me think about your pub channel. I join a weekly group seeking out the best kept beer in London alongside a good lunch rather than focusing on the actual pub. If you wish to expand your repatoir suggestions are always welcome. Cheers G.
I know you only do burgundy but your descriptions are so good it would be interesting to see you sample other wines Tweedy
My nearest majestic is Lincoln, 40 miles away but I'm going to see if it's available.
@@terryshaw2781 On the web at least it's listed as 2017/2019 which is a tiny bit disconcerting! I happen to like both of those vintages, but at this moment 2017 is preferable to me and either way I feel like at this price range it's reasonable to expect to know what exactly you're getting!
Tweedy another excellent review and another impressive sunset. I buy most of my wine from Majestic and they do deliver free if you spend more than £100, which isn't that difficult. Majestic makes most sense if you mix 6 bottles and get a decent discount. Remembering your previous comments about your stemware, I had some similarly cloudy wine glasses, but today I was moved to purchase some new ones in a sale for half price.
@@kenbakie4590 Yes I agree those "mix 6" are really quite competitive!
You should try wines from Volnay, they are some of the finest and most "feminine" red wines from the whole Côte d'Or. Have a nice day
ICYDK, The number next to where it's written diam is the recommended amount of years that the cork is guaranteed to last for. Seemed an interesting drop, cheers!
@@blurds Yes I just looked that up today as it happens! It's interesting as it seems indirectly like a statement from the producer about the maximum time they'd expect the wine to be aged for. Although I mostly drink village level Gevrey Chambertin at around 4 to 7 years old, 10 years doesn't seem like a very high upper bound! I was surprised the next grade up from Diam is something like 30?
@@BurgundyWithTweedy yes! since knowing that I can't help but have a thought like "oh well, you clearly didn't think your wine would stand the test of time" if it's 3 years, and then on the contrary "oooo 30 years eh? We'll see about that!" Quickly forgotten about but funny all the same
Excellent 👏🍷a good week for wine tasting from tweedy 🍷🍷👍😎thanks
@@Micktyb Thank you! I really should have done something a bit more ambitious with my time this week but all I seemed to be in the mood for was to sit in my local woods and drink wine! 🍷
@@BurgundyWithTweedy thanks 😁👍
Maybe a burg glass instead of a cab glass
Very amusing as always. And informative
@@rogueinquisitor3661 Thank you! I do try and inject a bit of humour where I can as wine reviews can end up a bit dry and boring!
Ive never seen a fox in real live and you seem to stumble upon them All the time. Nice review. Generic Burgundy rouge is always a gamble.
@@rajaboes5425 Yes I think there must be a lot of foxes in London. For better or worse they seem to have adapted well to the urban environment.
Makes me want to go buy a black forest ghetto 🙂 nice review
Not sure whether that's a typo or a reflection of my (probably incorrect) pronunciation! 😂 Whatever that cake is called it has always been my favourite, ever since I was old enough to form my own opinion! The one shown on screen around 1:45 was my birthday cake from a couple of years ago.
@@BurgundyWithTweedy apologies I corrected my spellings "gateau" I got black forest cake today my daughter favourite
Top review, equally nice fox.
Thank you! I know they're a bit divisive but I love seeing foxes.
Well done nice sunset and very skinny fox !! 🍷🍷
Thank you! Yes you'd think the foxes would do better in an urban environment wouldn't you...?
I still have a couple of the 2012s left from a case I bought en primeur. You have prompted me to open one of them in the near future. The last one I had a few months ago was still remarkably youthful.
4 walls wine are the best! I was fortunate to get a bottle of Arnoux Lachaux's Chambolle from them the year before it skyrocketed for 40 quid. They have so much good and affordable aged stuff...
I don't remember being disappointed by Vosne Romanée ))
I didn't realize that your glass was plastic so it looked like it was dirty. In some of your recent videos you didn't really like the wine and when you got home you liked it more. I think that's because at home you used the real glass one. I think it makes a noticeble difference.
In 2018 I bought a few bottles of Nuit St Georges Premier Cru 2016 in Nuit St Georges for ~24 euros and it was incredible. Now a regional Bourgogne is 30 pounds in UK, not even village... Thank you Tweedy for sharing your experience!
Ab excellent presentation as always, who would have thought a chap in a field talking about wine would be enjoyable, but it is I just love it.😊
Thanks Terry!
Good Bank holiday! We have been at an Ale and Acoustic weekend locally. Plenty of local cask Ales. Now on the the wine.
Had no idea you had other channels man! My wife and I really enjoy your main channel and the wealth of information and history you gather for your videos. Is this wine tasting even better from behind the tree? 😅all the best, Tony …p.s are you in the wine business?
Thanks Tony! Yes I have four channels in total! The bits standing behind the tree were a bit silly really, I was just trying to vary the scenery a bit so it didn't get too monotonous! No I'm not in the wine business, just an enthusiastic amateur.
Cheers 🥂 happy bank holiday 😎enjoy 🍷🍷
Cheers - hope you had a good one too!
@@BurgundyWithTweedy thanks 👍
Tweedy, what are the best wine bars or places to drink wine in North London?
I don't know, I do all my wine drinking on park benches!
Haha. Park benches. I'm going to jump the CZcams fence and ask the guy at Tweedy Pubs if he knows.
Authentique Epicerie ?
That might be a long-range item (unsurpizingly from Bourgogne), appealing to secondary and tertiary notes (you may not appretiate that, the mileages may vary). Probably that's a longeval wine and good to see that it works as "youngster" as well. Thank you.
I'll stick to Via Vincini Gran Rosso 75cl. Six for £31.50 from Asda. 🤣
Tweedy, an Indian takeaway accompanied by an excellent Burgundy. So wrong, but yet so right. I love the pairing you have just invented.
@@kenbakie4590 Thank you! I honestly have no understanding of the "science" (if there is any) of wine/food pairings at all.
I'll have two pints of whatever he's drinking please barman.
@@BoxTunnel I love the idea of Burgundy in pints! I'm completely on board with that as long as the glasses are the right shape. Actually a handled/dimpled "mug" wouldn't be terrible.
@@BurgundyWithTweedy Apparently the old dimpled mugs are too expensive now, if you can actually find them. My local has one left and that's reserved for my good friend Dinger on a Saturday evening.
Thank you Tweedy. Would be great if you do interim summary of Burgundies you have tasted. Say, starting with village levels: your top 5
ooh that sounds interesting. I might get some of that!
What you describe indeed indicates perhaps a faulty bottle but it could've just been subject to being kept too warm in the store pre-purchase ? Synthetic corks are an instant 'Non' for me with Burgundies, they shouldn't be used with any Burgundy in my humble opinion
I'm sure a lot of "experts" would berate me for being too close-minded but I agree with you on synthetic corks. I can't think of a Burgundy I've had with a synthetic closure that I've really enjoyed. I understand the desire from winemakers to reduce the rate of faulty bottles but it didn't seem to help here did it...? If they want to eliminate the chances of TCA (at least coming from the closure) then why not go with a Diam cork? They're still made of cork, but processed / treated in a way that it's practically impossible to cause any taint. They're also quite technical in that they make versions with different porosity which gives the winemaker another lever to adjust to determine how the wine ages.
A well earned bottle of wine Tweedy I do enjoy all the videos that show up on my youtube feed ❤
Thank you!
With Burgundy being an expert on disappointment, I was happy and relieved that the wine delivered. Cheers to many more bottles, and videos!
Thanks Mikael - yes I was definitely bracing myself for potential disappointment here! I was pleasantly surprised though, it really was something quite special, and quite different from other wines I've had from Gevrey Chambertin.
You need to visit The Farmers Dog.
I'm guessing it's not going to be the sort of unspoilt rustic boozer I like (are there any of those at all left in the Cotswolds?) but I am still slightly intrigued.
