To heck with the wine. Who is the fabulous artist responsible for the masterpiece over the wine rack?
That'd be Olivia. All 4 years of her. My partner's kiddo!
Just bought your book through Amazon. Very informative and the artwork is great! An easy take on a complex drink.
❤️ You're so much fun!! I'm learning so much from your channel!!
Love this! I do blind tastings as well and my trouble is that I always second guess myself and overthink. Loved your video and your way of approaching the two wines. :)
I love your channel and I continue to learn and enjoy wine more and more
"tilled soil"...a give away for me..I love, love the Old world terroir and how they seem to do their very best to include that in the wine. Made with love.
I love Pinot Noir! I did a wine tour through Oregon's Willamette Valley last summer and loved learning about the region. Super excited to learn more about wine!
Sounds fantastic! Cheers :)
Great explanation throughout!! Old World vs New World, color, taste.
We were just at the Drouhin vineyard in Oregon and participated in the Burgundy vs Oregon Pinot tasting. They have a lovely vineyard and are very hospitable, be sure to make a reservation for the tasting and vineyard tour. Sure wish I had watched this video first. Thanks Madeline, love your blog, very informative.
Loved watching this and got a new subscriber out of me. Can’t wait to watch the other videos and see what else is to come!
This is awesome. I always have no idea what to say when people ask me what I think of wine! Thanks for the info.
Thanks! Always informative and fun-and this is an experiment I’ve been planning to do myself. More, please!
Thank you!!!
Oh boy, you had me just seeing the labels. Admittedly, Oregon Pinot Noir is my absolute favorite both by my palate and because I was born in the Willamette Valley. But Drouhin I’m partial to from both sides of the pond. I’ve had more from their Oregon varietals, but I’ve also had some Joseph Drouhin wines from France. Both are just so good. I haven’t lived in Oregon since before I was able to drink, but I work in television, and did a show back in 2006 in the area around Bend. The locals whose properties I shot gave me an engraved Laguiole wine tool, and a bottle of Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir. It’s been my favorite ever since.
Fun! informative! Very refreshing approach..
In the industry myself 18 years really enjoy your channel keep up the good work Cheers 🍷🍷
Rick Moro 😊 TY for saying so!
Your natural presentation Tempo and dynamics are AWESOME! Clear & Fluid....
She's a character and good at this for sure.........a lot of fun with it and informative.
Wow, my husband just said the same thing about her!
Tricky lineup. Well done!
You are awesome - love the energy! We need a West Coast wine podcast - Cali to the OK. You would be perfect for the host!
Yay! Love this video Madeleine
Gorgeous explanation
I love you're vids, I got a new job at Bouchon in Vegas French Bistro, I have no clue about french wines until I met you lol..My co workers recommend you , great decision I made. Lol..Keep it up:)
Wow! Keep on spreading the good word on wine!
Very nice explanation. Fun
I get the sense that the presenter was already a few glasses into each bottle before doing the video. :-)
Fun video to watch though.
Definitely! I loved every second 😂
That's just her style dude!
If you aren't having fun..................
I think that you were faced with a somewhat difficult test insofar as Willamette pinot is often the closest in profile all the New World pinots to the Cote D'Or. I suppose that's why Drouhin has a winery there. Really interesting comparison.
They sure do! Worth investigating!
I blind taste all the time and often get confused on what is old and new world.
@Ryan Medeiros I disagree, there is broad diversity in Willamette valley points soil compositions and microclimates, as well as winemaker choices, and I like nothing better than Dundee Peat, or Jory as the locals call it
Great comparison!
You have an amazing sniffer. I wish I could identify all that from putting my nose in the glass. 😊😊
This makes me think of the blind Rhone France vs Cali blind tasting I did recently.....so easy to get it wrong. "old world" doesn't always mean what you think it will. Vintage, style of grower, region, etc......I've had some 03 Burgs that I could have mistaken for domestic, since it was a such a hot ripe vintage.
very interesting
Domain Drouhin is still harvesting their fruit at 22 brix yo produce "old world style" wines, our fruit is 24-25 brix and higher Ph 3.4 at harvest resulting in lower acid....drinkable sooner...Oregon winemaker and grower
STEVE O'NEILL love this comment. Thanks for adding your note!!!
Great video love you energy and your information.
what do you recommend for for semi-sweet wine red wine
great vid as always Maddie
Thank you Tony! :) :)
Simply love it.
Awesome channel!
Ive been on a burgundy binge lately. I enjoy a pinot noir but their chardonnays are so different. Also dont get me started with chablis!
Very informative and your personality makes it even better! Personally Ive found that new world wine makers tend to talk a lot about terroir but it rarely comes through in their wines for me (it's mainly fruit forward) which is not necessarily a bad thing but I'm still trying to discern terroir variations in our US wines.
Good job Madeleine, thank you!
Agreed, mostly it's more fruit and less terroir in the New World. But there are some areas in US ( and elsewhere) that show great terroir. For instance, try some good Pinot Noir from Russian Valley and let me know if you find a similar Pinot Noir anywhere else. I haven't :)
@@k-van9570 Yes! Russian River pinot noirs actually led me to a four day trip there three years ago (Guerneville) and I agree that some, such as William's Selyam and Gray Ferrell definitely have more of the earthy, mineral experience one might find in Cote D'or wines - I have visited Willamett Valley as well and although there are several excellent producers I would give the Russian River wines a higher ratings ,(of those I've tasted so far!)
Cheers Keyvan!
Cute video. Keep drinking!
Good and informative...
I was excited to look up the Charmes Chambertin - 2015 - Domaine Joseph Drouhin but oh boy that price tag... Some saving is in order.
Super cool! I learned a lot, like pay attention to your tastebuds to notice subtleties. Q: You don’t cleanse your palette between tastings. Why not? And, how do you feel about letting wine breathe a bit after opening? Also, some people pour so carefully. Does it make a difference to you? Subscribed.
You know your stuff. Sounds like you have experience in vineyards as well
Good video.
She has a very informal way of speaking
I live in the Willamette Valley and I work with a lot of wine. I've had Drouhin many times and am very familiar with the wines in our region, so it was funny to me that on the color and your notes on the nose of each that it seemed pretty obvious to me which were which. It's a shame that Oregon Pinot doesn't come out as rich and earthy as old world wine can. I'd love to see you do more Oregon wine comparisons!
Some can be. The first time I had Rex Hill, I got tons of secondary on the noise and it was a recent vintage.
I think that with experience time Oregon wine will be the best in the US. The soil and climate doesn't lie. Burgundy has almost 900 years of wine making. What this Oregon wine has already achieved is stunning ! I am looking for Oregon wines here in France. I can't find any. It's a shame. I will order some by internet.
True Burgundy is never "rich and earthy" unless it's Pommard. The real Burgundy is ELEGANT!
Bravo 🎊 from France !
ID VIN SCHOOL 🏫❤️ 🇫🇷 🍷
Old world wine is bunch of many other European countries than the three she mentioned. It's a pity that she skipped Austria, Portugal, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania just to name a few but there are certainly others too. Other than that it's a great video and I love Wine Folly! ☺
She’s so much fun! Pinot is definitely one of my main go to’s. I stick to California Pinots. Just cheaper and delicious. But for special occasions, I’ll bust out some old world goodies.
love the art, by who? and what is in that WINE FOLLY Box?
my wine drinking profile notes just went to varsity level... I am definitely using your "stem inclusion" note on future tastings (because only you would be able to argue my point, right?) ;)
Maison Drouhin Beaune(FRANCE) and Oregon
Wish you would do more from Canada. We have some fabulous wineries up here. Black Hills from BC for their Note Bene, Syrah and Alibi. Bachelder from Niagara for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay (you may recognize Thomas Bachelder’s name from Oregon. Also Thirty Bench from Niagara for Rielsling and Cab Franc.
Canada makes great wines. We've covered Okanagan on the blog!
Please Sauvignon Blanc Challenge!
Well done .. and fun. Must say tho, I've pretty much given up on west coast pinot .... far too many taste like cola and cotton candy.
I’ll take a Louis Jadot 2015 any day. Hands down
The best Pinot I've had was a Napa, from ZD wines.
Make sure to spit even though it's Gevrey Chambertin. Great clip 👌
Love
Were those bottles from the domaine Drouhin? Cheers!
Hi Madeline. Where do shop online for wines please ? Thanks.
Great videos but please tell the price in future videos.
most people simply don't have a palate that can pick all the nuances of wines. That's why no matter how smart you are, most of us can never be a sommelier. In the end, we can like a $15 bottle of wine more so than a $50 bottle. Rudy Kurniawan was a scam artist who sold 20 million worth of ordinary
wine as rare vintage before he was caught.
Rudy Kirwan scammed people on D.R.C. (Domaine Romanee Conti) the most expensive wine in the world. Grand cru red burgundy. Most of them would be a fool to open those bottles unless it had proper bottle age otherwise its a waste. Many people I know that have this wine will not touch it unless it has 20-25 years of bottle time, the wine is capable of being aged far longer. That being said most people buy that wine to lay down... there is a good chance a lot of them did not drink the wine. Mr Roc, people who can afford to purchase that wine (counterfeit or not) are typically no dummies.
and if you don't enjoy a 50 bottle of wine more than a 15 bottle of wine... you are buying from the wrong person!
Richard Roc If you follow Madeline’s methodical looking, smelling, tasting, and thinking method, you can slowly train yourself to become a much more discerning wine taster. It doesn’t have anything to do with being “smart”. It has everything to do with being very observant (take notes - it really focuses your attention on the details that matter). It’s about experience, and learning from each experience. Madeline has laid out a simple, but methodical regimen to follow each time, and she even sells little tasting note books to help you to stay consistent in your methodology each time. Don’t sell yourself short. There are amazing wines at $50 and less. Not so many at $15 and under, although there are good ones, and the odd gem occasionally pops up.
Where did you get the wine glasses???
Have you found any good wineries in Washington that produce a good pinot noir?
Also what is the best AVA in Oregon that produces that grape?
Heya! There are not a lot of Pinot producers in Washington because the climate is a lot different (they grow mostly on the dry, hot, sunny, east side!). That being said, I've heard that Charles Smith's new brand winesofsubstance.com/ will release a Pinot from an undisclosed special vineyard. If I were to grow Pinot in Washington, I'd look to the Puget Sound area or possibly Columbia Gorge or right along the border by Okanagan, BC.
I don't see anything about it on the site yet though!
@@Winefolly I was hoping that maybe SW Washington would have a new vineyard or two that might be successful.... that's ok. Washington makes ather great wine varietals.
I like a Pinot noir. But my favorite is a Spaniard Bordeaux. 😀🍇🍷
You should add your subscribe link in the description below.
Love the video. But I couldn’t understand what you said for the first scent note on the second wine... I’m sure you didn’t say what I heard...
Maybe she meant it smelled of ammonia.
please help Madeleine- Ive been a certified somm for about 3 years now and find myself now working with stellar prestige wine only from two regions of France (Bordeaux and Burgundy). I opened an old vine Rothchild that I called brickish and turned. The old men in the room called me ignorant and went on to enjoy the decanted bottle. I have a case of Burgundy Echezeau by Henri Jayer 1995 that Id love to decant and have something nice to say about.
How does one offer an extremely rare wine that maybe was held too long but make sound amazing anyway?
Wine Folly is excellent
Oregon pinot I think are more tannic
So was i....great descriptors... and tonight is my wine Wed
watching you make me want to know more abt wine. Btw I respect someone who can dance move their neck
I love pinot noirs
Looks like it's really difficult :D
Confusion? This is how Pinot Noir is supposed to taste! This wine asks more questions as he is willing to answer!
I’m suuuuper new to wine, and I’m really proud of myself for seeing the title and already guessing which two wines would be in the video. Then again, about 90% of the wine in my collection is from either Domaine Drouhin or Joseph Drouhin, so I might be biased.
I have heard that Oregon climate is very close to Burgundy!
omg. yes. They have different soils, but there are similarities galore. No wonder several Burgundians set up wineries there!
Sometimes Oregon, sometimes Burgundy... depends on the mood :)
Too fancy for words
This dawg over here 😂
Hello. Old world must include Portugal that by the way has much better wines than Spain.
Norberto Reis Portuguese wine is awesome and offers amazing value for money!
I do the ahhhhhhhhh thing too but not to test the alcohol level.
AHahahahahahahahah. you just made me smile super wide :)
I love this video. I must have the pallet of a Neanderthal. I can not pull out those flavor profiles like she can. ... Me drink wine. Me like.. Me drink more.
I would really like to do this comparisn too. Sadly i can't find any Oregon Pinot Noir over here in Germany. Listen up Yanks, don't drink all the good stuff yourself, got that!?😎
Do it with something from Ahr!!! :) :)
3-rd time I see someone tasting the wine like is mouthwash hahahahahhaa!
did u go to the Piper Blush school of You tube videos?
New world over extracts

You definitely will not get bergamot in Drouhin 2015, and highly unlikely that you will get savory aroma from such a young wine, unless maybe the bottle is badly stored.
In principle I like her channel, but regarding to Pinot Noir the old world is a little bit different. Spain almost not producing Pinot Noir at all and in Italy Pinot Noir production is mainly limited to Alto Adige (Südtirol). If she is referring to the old world regarding Pinot Noir, France (burgundy) is of course in the first place, but Germany, Austria and Switzerland are countries where almost 50% of the red wine is produced by Pinot Noir. In this case only the name is different (like Spätburgurder).
Thanks for the comment Kai, I think this video is specifically about Burg and Oregon - I'm extrapolating a bit here, but it sounds like you are very familiar with where Pinot Noir grows in Europe, which probably also means you're a bit of an enthusiast with Pinot?
To your statement about "old world" I would say that I use this statement as a sweeping broad stroke because the term is actually a bit nebulous if you really get into it. Obviously I know that Pinot grows in limited areas (like Oltrepo Pavese in Italy!) but when a beginner approaches this topic it's easier to go broad stroke, to less broad stroke, to small stroke.
Perhaps I should get some producers to send me pinot from more places and we can do more tastings at a geekier level. ;)
@@Winefolly Would love to see you doing a comparison of the Austrian pinots, like the Wienenger, vs. Oregon. That would be fascinating. They make some lovely pinots.
👀
If they were wines in the same price range it would have been really easy to tell the difference, not really fair spending 3x more on the burgundy
well, they're really close in price. I think the Bourg was 55 and the Oregon is 40 - and in terms of winemaking and viticulture, they are very similar.
@@Winefolly sounds like a great deal then, will have to pick some up😀

Find out if South Africa is old world or new world .
We can do this with logic right here and now: if we follow where wine originally spread from it's origin place in Caucasus Mountains / Eastern Anatolia then we can see how it spread into the areas around the Mediterranean long before the Dutch colonized South Africa. So, for that logic it's new world. HOWEVER, South Africa has some uniquely old world attributes given the rise of Constantia in the exact same time period as Europe was getting its wine stride (1600-1700s). So, the choice is yours depending on what logic you prefer.
Do you pick the spread of Vitis vinifera (wine grapes) or the foundation of modern winemaking which happened in Europe and South Africa in the 1700s?
To me, both logical proofs work. So, South Africa is both new world and old world at the same time.
@@Winefolly satisfied follower from me that's a good insight . I hope you not thinking I was being spiteful I'm just seeking info
@@Winefolly Excellent explanation!! New World ......

Some tricks, not a little bit of tricks.
I now am expecting you to correct all of my mistakes from now on, okay? I'm counting on yah! ;)
I have news for you ISRAEL is an old
ew world country and it has Great wines . put it in the list and it will find its natural place in the top of the list for its wines very quikely .
Never had a good oregon wine
I mean, eveningland has been blowing my socks off lately. For example
Keep trying .... They are making some incredible wines. Different style from French (which I prefer) but there are some nice ones coming out of Oregon.
Just to clarify. The Old world is the whole Europe and everywhere outside Europe is the New world.
Keyvan Kalani thats not completely true. England would not be considered an old wine producing area by most. As climate change makes it more possible to produce wines in more northern regions Scandinavian countries are experimenting with wine making and they too could not be described as old world in the wine sense but are definitely part of European new world of wine.
Ps Lebanon is also often considered part of the old world of wine and it is not a European country. Just more proof you can't make generalisations in wine...
@@edwardblacklock2446 you are right, I did generalise The Old World. But for sake of comprehension, it's a lot easier to grasp than the way it was presented here. There are some countries that recently started mass scale production for commercial purposes in Europe that are considered "New World Wines", although they could have a long history of wine making, like Armenia or Georgia. England and Russia have been making great sparkling wines (among mostly bad wines :) for quite some time now as well, but are of course considered "New World Wines". I just discovered that Finland produces sparkling wine, which is crazy. Not very good though I would imagine.
Old world vs new world is an old tired, and deflated comparison. A game for somm trainees. Burgundy is producing PN that can taste like something from Leyda in Chile, and Willamette is constantly changing to align to Burgundy, which is themselves dealing with climate-changed fruit. Pinot noir can be marvelous from anywhere now, including [California - mon dieu!] as in the last ten years. Time to move on.
French wines the best in the world 🍷🍷🍷🍷
Confusing video and/or test method 😰 Why not have a true blind taste test with black glasses??
