I no despise NZ Sauvignon blanc. It’s overwhelmingly floral, to the extent it smells and tastes like someone spiked it with a cheap perfume. Compared to Sancerre? Give me a break.

Not quite. This was an old thought. Pretty much outdated. Nowadays, Syrah is considered a (very) French grape when it concerns it’s origin.

Riesling is my favourite white wine too Jancis , I’ve been enjoying fine German wines now for over 50 years. I have a couple of dozen bottles in my cellar so I’m looking forward to a good summer so I can enjoy them in my garden. I seem to remember Hugh Johnson saying that great German wines are wine for wines sake and food just gets in the way and I totally agree.

nothing beats a fine riesling. i just got back from the Mosel and the Rheinhessen and the beauty of the land is unrivaled in my opinion. I'm glad riesling is still overlooked otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford it. it is my favorite wine too.

@@mcwine18 Henri Jayer studied winemaking at the Univrrsity of Dijon and when young worked at other Domaines. As Jancis says, serious Domaine/small producer winemaking in the Cote d'Or took off in the 50s and 60s with 1955,1959,1961,1962&1964 being legrndary years. In short, Jayer basically invented cold fermentation and whole cluster pressing and fermentation to add finesse and concentration to his wines. His parcels were the best on earth (Richebourg, Vosne Romanee premier crus and so on) and he didn't use pesticides but farmed organically, 30-50 years before anyone else except Lalou and Leflaive. Modern red Burgundy basically follows his footsteps of organic winemaking and tending the vine carefully, very low yields, selective picking, cold storage for grapes, cold fermentation to keep freshness and acidity as well as whole cluster fermentation for added depth. A legend, the greatest vigneron

I might be in the minority, but I find supremely well made Cremant de Bourgogne indistinguishable from all but the very finest Champagne.

I am glad you said this as I tend to buy Cremant (ones with a more Chardonnay heavy balance) when I don't feel like spending 4-5x as much of Champagne ... and I am a Veuve Clicquot and Pol Roger guy!

Wonderfully written, and a history lesson as many now have passed on. My fave episode. I'll always remember Burt Williams in his 1978 rainbow suspenders in the old Williams-Selyem winery. I'd love to watch this alongside a group down in Martinborough and Central Otago NZ, where they too show a similar yet humble passion, after producing brilliant PN.

Great videos! We can learn so much from them. Thank you so much to go to the places, talk to the producers and explain their problems to the costumers. Some decades later, we can see that the new methods to close bottles are in principle good for the wine, but they are not sustainable. Real cork, and not plastic or metal, is the better option. We should avoid throwing metals and plastic to the garbage and polluting our planet. Real cork is biodegradable and sustainable, so it is the better option, despite the problem of the fungus, which it is in general quite unlikely for the average costumer. Wine stored for a long time in a humid cellar could have the risk, but nowadays we can keep cellars in a better condition. Would other methods be useful like topping the closed bottle cork with bee wax, to be removed before opening the bottle ?

In all aspects of life, as globalism and consumerism marches on, there will be a vacuous majority that gravitate towards sameness. But I have to believe that fundamentally, variation is the spice of life and will always have a place in the market simply because enough people get bored with sameness and repetition to warrant niches.
