Jadot is Your Guide to Burgundy 1-28-24


 


Burgundy is the most complicated wine region in the entire world and attempting to understand it is a task that knows no end.

As these vineyard sites gained renown and increased in value, wealthy French nobles purchased vast swathes of land on which to form prestigious domaines.

The brothers Eric and Joël of Domaine Durand do just that with their excellent offerings from Cornas and Saint-Joseph.
 
Delivering ripe fruit, savory minerality and lifted aromatics, the meticulous work by these brothers is evident from first pour.… Read the rest
