Occasionally even big wine retailers like Majestic carry at least some of the some of the sort of Burgundy I like! Here I try a Gevrey Chambertin bought from them (Alexandre Gauvin). Great to see a 2017 on the shelves still! youtu.be/MIFQMgXpJZw

£76: a seemingly good price for a 1er Cru Gevrey Chambertin with at least a bit of age to it already - but is the difficult vintage (2016) the fly in the ointment? Also I'm not sure anyone else does Burgundy tastings under a tarp in the rain. youtube.com/watch?v=HY8rKF…

Joseph Roty Gevrey Chambertin 2017 - the actual tasting notes here were a bit cursory, but the setting was lovely - atop Cissbury Ring in the South Downs. youtu.be/LrR5nh9nnhE

Tasting Joseph Roty's 2019 Gevrey Chambertin in Epping Forest - a lovely setting for it and the wine was definitely a hit! youtube.com/watch?v=0eWssx…

A delightful 1er Cru Nuits Saint Georges in a beautiful location - near Ditchling Beacon in the South Downs. youtu.be/pL316zu08h8

The cheapest Gevrey Chambertin I have ever seen (at least in the past, say, 5 years when I've buying it regularly). About half what I would consider to be a typical *starting* price for Gevrey Chambertin... but is it any good...? youtu.be/6eDHtnsgkC8

Delightfully gloomy afternoon in the woods in the rain under a tarp enjoying Philippe Gavignet's Nuits Saint Georges "Aux Bousselots" 2017. A beautiful and elegant bit of fruit expression.

Here are a few of my favourite things.
