BURGUNDY'S COTE D'OR - WINE IN 10 

Great video as always ! I liked the description of the quality classification

Great job...as always.

Awesome video man . Thank you

Great video ! Keep up the awesome info!

Great video in an even greater series of videos! Thank you! 👍 I was one of those "I don't really like white wines" guys until I tasted a Meursault! 😍 Since that day I'm constantly searching for the next oak-fix...😋

This is truly amazing content, the RU-vid channel i’ve been waiting for!

Brilliant - thanks for making the video

The Musée du Vin in Beaune conveys well the complexity of winemaking in the Cote-d'Or. Grading wines by vineyard makes a lot of sense there. I recall our guide having my wife and I stand on the boundary between two vineyards, one premier cru and the other grand cru. The soil texture in the two, just yards apart, was very different (much larger chunks of limestone in the grand cru soil), as was the character of the wines from each. Another striking thing was the intense and extensive education required of wine guides in this region--it is daunting and they really know their stuff. As I watched this video, I recalled with great pleasure visiting some of cellars shown on the labels Very happy memories. A wonderful place to visit. And an excellent video introduction to this fascinating region. Thank you!

I am in away happy that we are around the same age so we can go on learning about wine for the whole life together for a long time. Great video (as always)!

Very well explained sir. Thank you 😘🙏

This is such exceptional content! Would love to see an episode on English Sparkling wines (maybe blind against champagne) and something on the other regions of Burgundy Challonaise Macon (Rully & Pouilly Fusse etc...)

Great video. The only thing I don't agree with is that you said that most vineyards are not mechanized which is really not the case. Almost every vineyard (apart the ones that are located on really high slopes) are mecanized. Here we generally don't use tractors but we use "enjambeurs", which enables winemakers to do everything mechanicly while keeping the traditional 10.000 vines per ha density. Apart from that, everything you said was spot on, as always. Cheers!

i love burgundy... ch first but pn too. mjr tokyo

The intro cracks me up everytime!

Nerds overcomplicate things, 😆. True. Great content, truly.

While “barrique” is the French word for barrel, in winemaking the term usually refers to a particular shape and size. It is relatively tall with thinner staves than most other barrels. Wine labels may tout terms like “aged in barrique” or “barrique-aged.”

Really interesting Konstantin.......how about do one or more on Pinots from different countries and how the relate back to Burgundy

Really helpful for me for my WSET exam.

Thank you, quite a challenge to describe it in 10 minutes. One thing, though: both t letters are silent in Montrachet.

Very cool. Like a lot of wine geeks I still hunt for that elusive $50 over delivering burg. They’re out there, just need to sift through some ok stuff

An in depth burgundy label video would be great. I still struggle with the “ normally a label has (insert required info)....but there are exceptions “. 🧐🧐

Because much of the quality burgundy wine is either unavailable due to investors snatching up the very best producers or due to the best producers being very expensive for many consumers, how does someone find good quality burgundy at a decent price to sample, if that is possible? I know that there are significant variations from producers in Burgundy, but are there producers that are in the middle that are good to sample? What should I try to get some sample of the region? Thanks!

Difficult vintages in Burgundy reminds me of some of Italy's great wineries not even releasing certain "poor" vintages, but not aware of this in Burgundy? There is an expression: "Vineyard over vintage", would you say this is true some of the time, no time, or all of the time in Burgundy, Bordeaux, or France as a whole? Thank for the education! You are a treasure to all neophytes.

AND WINE!

Cote d’Or is also where wine nerd stop because it is expensive. I’m doing a tasting with some friends and I was told to get wines and when I saw a Pommard under $50, I had to get it.

👍👍

Thank you. Burgundy is a direct reflection of the French mentality, like their other cultural manifestations. Sound like bs? Music, art, you name it.

👌🏽

Cote D'Or label wines fall as what in the pyramid?

I’m glad that I’m not into Pinot Noir (lacks tannins for my taste) as good wines there are so expensive 😊

For me Burgundy wines are the best. The good one that is but they come with a price dont they? Have never tried any of the real famous ones, at a Grand Cru level, a level of investment Im not quite ready to make. And villages/producers you can recommend with affordable high quality?
