We just returned from two weeks in Burgundy...whew! �I tasted a lot of

a wine to be drunk sooner than later but overall the reds were clean,
fresh and spicy and the whites were quite bright and lively.

as far as the 2007's go...I never seem to get much from barrel tasting
and in this case most were still undergoing malo so it was even harder
to get a sense of the wine. �The tannins seemed well controlled and
the fruit seemed ripe. �Only time will tell how the wines will fair
but the makers all agreed that it would be a nice bottle of wine.

The 2008 vines were about two weeks behind due to cold and rainy
spring but they were catching up fast given the two weeks of perfect
weather than we enjoyed while visiting.

Welcome back, thanks for impressions. Any particular domaines you
enjoyed?
