THE BURGUNDY BRIEFING WEBSITE

The Burgundy Briefing website provided a lively insight into Burgundy for fifteen vintages through my annual vintage report, films, briefings and tastings. During covid in 2020, I resolved on a change in direction after so many years focused on Burgundy.

I began writing a Burgundy en-primeur report for World Of Fine Wine Magazine, along the same lines as the Burgundy Briefing albeit shorter as it is in print. 2019 was the first.  And I am now thoroughly enjoying writing more generally about wine.

It is still possible to purchase back issues of the reports from vintages 2004-2018 which offer an in-depth record of the style, quality and ageing capacity of the wines of each vintage.  There are numerous films on the site which will hopefully still be of interest, so I plan to keep the site for the time being and maybe, occasionally, add material.

THE BURGUNDY BRIEFING VINTAGE REPORT

The Vintage Reports (from 2004 to 2018) put the each vintage from the Côte d’Or under the microscope. It was a valuable tool for making informed decisions on buying wines, most of which are sold ‘en-primeur’.

Now, as these wines mature, it serves as an in-depth record of their style and quality with advice on when to drink them.
