On our last day in Bourgogne we had a meeting at Bouchard Père & Fils. A big thanks to Victor Pepin that set up the meeting and Morgan Delacloche that took care of us.
We had the regular tour around the Château and then a private tasting in Mr. Henriot's cellar (Henriot, Champagne producer that bought Bouchard in 1995). A total of ten wines, a personal favorite Volnay 1ér Cru" Cailleretes Ancienne Cuvée Carnot" 2010. I just have a thing for european wines 2010 vintage, they have alot of acidity and i just love that. The Volnay had a high acidity with a clean, smooth, elegant highly concentrated red fruit, with a refreshing spicey touch, valued at 75 euro.
From Bouchard's cellar, collection of theire own wines, It's the biggest collection of old wines in the world.

Then we visited Domaine Jobard-Morey in Meursault.
A really good end to our short Bourgogne trip. We probably spent 2,5 hours here, mr. Remy Ehret-Jobard had so much to say and we had no proplem listening. A true terroir producer! The two single pictures above shows what I brought back home from this visit. If I could, it would had been more.



Next day we finished our winetrip by visiting Vincent Paris in Cornas in Northern Rhône. Really good wines with alot of fruit concentration, no new oak. Understand why Mostue started a collaboration and invested in plots here.
