89. Domaine Bertagna, Vougeot, 1993
A product of my first ever wine trip. Having done the Clos de Vougeot tour beforehand, Dad and I bought half-a-dozen Vougeot villages. Drunk …
84. Jean-Marc Brocard, Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, 1993
A product of my first visit – and learning about – wine regions and wine. Patience pays off. Bought in 1994 from Brocard’s shop …
71. Louis Michel, Chablis Premier Cru Montmain, 1999
A fresh and clean Chablis 1er Cru as typical for the Montmains appellation. Not oaked and it shows. Flinty acidity but balanced with a …
64. Domaine Daniel-Etienne Defaix, Celliers du Vieux Château, Chablis Vieilles Vignes, 1998

41. Domaine Daniel-Etienne Defaix, Celliers du Vieux Château, Chablis Premier Cru Côte de Lechet, 1995
One of the most bastard difficult labels I’ve ever chosen to remove… but a nice premier cru. Straw-yellow colour betrays the depth of the …
36. Association des Producteurs du Cru “Juliénas”, Juliénas, 1996
Bought in 1997 in the village. Surprisingly weighty Beaujolais – dark and fruity – cherry I think. The 1998, however, was considerably less impressive. …
