The last of the trio of wines I bought from Haynes, Hanson and Clark. This vintage doesn't seem to be listed on their website unfortunately (I went to the Chelsea shop in person) but here's the 2020 vintage: www.hhandc.co.uk/all-wines/2020-gevrey-chambertin-domaine-confuron-gindre/ Also some irrelevant intro bits of my journey to the heath today, including a cargo train and a nonchalant fox.

A Vosne Romanée today, although the vineyard ("Les Hautes Mazieres") is actually (just) in neighbouring Flagey-Echezeaux, which doesn't have its own appellation, so wines from there are labelled Vosne Romanée. As is usually the case, an al fresco tasting, and I was treated to a nice sunset. Bought from Haynes, Hanson & Clark: www.hhandc.co.uk/all-wines/2018-vosne-les-hautes-maizieres-domaine-co...

Bought from Jeroboams: jeroboams.co.uk I liked this wine but not sure it offered good value for money (which is of course a strange concept to start with in the crazy world of Burgundy). I very much enjoyed sitting in this spot though - some lovely komorebi through the trees.

Tasting a more recent vintage of this wine, having previously really enjoyed the 2017 vintage - both in a half bottle format, and both bought from Jeroboams: jeroboams.co.uk/ At a famous viewpoint - the "Devil's Pulpit" - overlooking Tintern Abbey in the Wye Valley, right on the border between England and Wales.

Another one of those below the radar Burgundies, this time trying a different vintage from one I've tried before... but I found this bottle showed way too much tannin for my tastes.

For a bit of a change from the usual "wet led" videos, here I cook some dinner in the woods, to go with a bottle of Vosne Romanée from Confuron Gindre. Quite a sophisticated bottle of wine, and as fake meat goes quite a high end fake steak too.

The last of the mixed case from Seckford, and this was a very successful Gevrey Chambertin I thought! "Mûre" is the French for blackberry, which I learned while reading the official tasting notes for this wine.

Another below the radar Burgundy - this time a humble Bourgoge Rouge, from a plot just outside Nuits St Georges. This bottle really, really needed plenty of airing - about three hours! Before that it had lots of rough edges, but they all seemed to magically disappear.

You should try wines from Volnay, they are some of the finest and most "feminine" red wines from the whole Côte d'Or. Have a nice day
ICYDK, The number next to where it's written diam is the recommended amount of years that the cork is guaranteed to last for. Seemed an interesting drop, cheers!
Excellent 👏🍷a good week for wine tasting from tweedy 🍷🍷👍😎thanks
Maybe a burg glass instead of a cab glass
Very amusing as always. And informative
@@rogueinquisitor3661 Thank you! I do try and inject a bit of humour where I can as wine reviews can end up a bit dry and boring!
Ive never seen a fox in real live and you seem to stumble upon them All the time. Nice review. Generic Burgundy rouge is always a gamble.
@@rajaboes5425 Yes I think there must be a lot of foxes in London. For better or worse they seem to have adapted well to the urban environment.
Makes me want to go buy a black forest ghetto 🙂 nice review
Not sure whether that's a typo or a reflection of my (probably incorrect) pronunciation! 😂 Whatever that cake is called it has always been my favourite, ever since I was old enough to form my own opinion! The one shown on screen around 1:45 was my birthday cake from a couple of years ago.
@@BurgundyWithTweedy apologies I corrected my spellings "gateau" I got black forest cake today my daughter favourite
Top review, equally nice fox.
Thank you! I know they're a bit divisive but I love seeing foxes.
Well done nice sunset and very skinny fox !! 🍷🍷
Thank you! Yes you'd think the foxes would do better in an urban environment wouldn't you...?
I still have a couple of the 2012s left from a case I bought en primeur. You have prompted me to open one of them in the near future. The last one I had a few months ago was still remarkably youthful.
4 walls wine are the best! I was fortunate to get a bottle of Arnoux Lachaux's Chambolle from them the year before it skyrocketed for 40 quid. They have so much good and affordable aged stuff...
I don't remember being disappointed by Vosne Romanée ))
I didn't realize that your glass was plastic so it looked like it was dirty. In some of your recent videos you didn't really like the wine and when you got home you liked it more. I think that's because at home you used the real glass one. I think it makes a noticeble difference.
In 2018 I bought a few bottles of Nuit St Georges Premier Cru 2016 in Nuit St Georges for ~24 euros and it was incredible. Now a regional Bourgogne is 30 pounds in UK, not even village... Thank you Tweedy for sharing your experience!
Ab excellent presentation as always, who would have thought a chap in a field talking about wine would be enjoyable, but it is I just love it.😊
Thanks Terry!
Good Bank holiday! We have been at an Ale and Acoustic weekend locally. Plenty of local cask Ales. Now on the the wine.
Had no idea you had other channels man! My wife and I really enjoy your main channel and the wealth of information and history you gather for your videos. Is this wine tasting even better from behind the tree? 😅all the best, Tony …p.s are you in the wine business?
Thanks Tony! Yes I have four channels in total! The bits standing behind the tree were a bit silly really, I was just trying to vary the scenery a bit so it didn't get too monotonous! No I'm not in the wine business, just an enthusiastic amateur.
Cheers 🥂 happy bank holiday 😎enjoy 🍷🍷
Cheers - hope you had a good one too!
@@BurgundyWithTweedy thanks 👍
Tweedy, what are the best wine bars or places to drink wine in North London?
I don't know, I do all my wine drinking on park benches!
Haha. Park benches. I'm going to jump the UA-cam fence and ask the guy at Tweedy Pubs if he knows.
Authentique Epicerie ?
That might be a long-range item (unsurpizingly from Bourgogne), appealing to secondary and tertiary notes (you may not appretiate that, the mileages may vary). Probably that's a longeval wine and good to see that it works as "youngster" as well. Thank you.
I'll stick to Via Vincini Gran Rosso 75cl. Six for £31.50 from Asda. 🤣
Tweedy, an Indian takeaway accompanied by an excellent Burgundy. So wrong, but yet so right. I love the pairing you have just invented.
@@kenbakie4590 Thank you! I honestly have no understanding of the "science" (if there is any) of wine/food pairings at all.
I'll have two pints of whatever he's drinking please barman.
@@BoxTunnel I love the idea of Burgundy in pints! I'm completely on board with that as long as the glasses are the right shape. Actually a handled/dimpled "mug" wouldn't be terrible.
@@BurgundyWithTweedy Apparently the old dimpled mugs are too expensive now, if you can actually find them. My local has one left and that's reserved for my good friend Dinger on a Saturday evening.
Thank you Tweedy. Would be great if you do interim summary of Burgundies you have tasted. Say, starting with village levels: your top 5
ooh that sounds interesting. I might get some of that!
What you describe indeed indicates perhaps a faulty bottle but it could've just been subject to being kept too warm in the store pre-purchase ? Synthetic corks are an instant 'Non' for me with Burgundies, they shouldn't be used with any Burgundy in my humble opinion
I'm sure a lot of "experts" would berate me for being too close-minded but I agree with you on synthetic corks. I can't think of a Burgundy I've had with a synthetic closure that I've really enjoyed. I understand the desire from winemakers to reduce the rate of faulty bottles but it didn't seem to help here did it...? If they want to eliminate the chances of TCA (at least coming from the closure) then why not go with a Diam cork? They're still made of cork, but processed / treated in a way that it's practically impossible to cause any taint. They're also quite technical in that they make versions with different porosity which gives the winemaker another lever to adjust to determine how the wine ages.
A well earned bottle of wine Tweedy I do enjoy all the videos that show up on my youtube feed ❤
Thank you!
With Burgundy being an expert on disappointment, I was happy and relieved that the wine delivered. Cheers to many more bottles, and videos!
Thanks Mikael - yes I was definitely bracing myself for potential disappointment here! I was pleasantly surprised though, it really was something quite special, and quite different from other wines I've had from Gevrey Chambertin.
You need to visit The Farmers Dog.
I'm guessing it's not going to be the sort of unspoilt rustic boozer I like (are there any of those at all left in the Cotswolds?) but I am still slightly intrigued.
Just listening to your description..did you eat any mushrooms in the forest?
I agree wine tasting notes sometimes sound a bit crazy and/or pretentious but it is actually quite hard to translate complex flavours and smells into words. I honestly used to think it was all bullshit but what changed my mind was the introduction to a book on whisky by Michael Jackson (No, not the singer! The beer/whisky writer, sadly no longer with us). He challenged the reader to describe the flavour of Coca Cola to someone who had never had it before. Whether you like Coke or not, there is a lot more going on there than just sweet fizzy water and it's actually incredibly hard to describe the flavour. Rightly or wrongly, bottles of wine - like the one featured here - often demand significant prices. Given that, I'm convinced there is some utility in providing a potential buyer with an idea of whether they're going to like it or not. Obviously though I would recommend people considering spending a lot of money on a bottle of wine to refer to someone with more expertise than I have!
Tweedy, this is a very comprehensive review. The wine is a great reward for all your work. I often wondered why anyone would pay 180 quid for a bottle of burgundy, but now I can see why. Maybe I shall treat myself one day, but in the meantime I shall continue drinking New Zealand pinot noirs at around 15 to 20 quid.
Thank you! Money is a funny old thing isn't it? We all have our different thresholds for different things. I'm really quite stingy when it comes to things like home improvement or cars but other people will happily lavish huuuuge sums on those things - way more than I spend on wine in a year. I wouldn't derive any pleasure from having a really smart frontage to my house - or a sports car parked in front of it - but I do really enjoy fine wine!
Look at him flaunting his riches. Just rubbing it in our faces, he is.
It's sometimes hard to tell with UA-cam comments whether it's a light hearted leg pull or a genuine grievance! If the latter, then it's worth remembering you don't have to watch anything you don't want to watch on UA-cam. I'd recommend turning auto-play off, and making use of the "not interested" and/or "don't recommend channel" options whenever you see a video recommendation you don't like the look of.
@@BurgundyWithTweedy Man, 16 years of using UA-cam, and I just learned that I don't have to watch anything I don't want to. This is extraordinary. Just amazing news, this.
@@The_Invisible_Hand_Of_CVGood, so we're past the basics. Sounds like you were here by choice, but something went awry. Was there something about the thumbnail / title which was misleading or inaccurate?
If you get the chance you should try their Corton-Bressandes. It’s a beautiful wine. Cheers!
You know how to "rough it" in style! :)
Keith Floyd approvingly smiles from above.
Thank you! Maybe you've seen some of my other videos and know what a high esteem I hold him in? Alas characters like that are in such short supply these days.
@@BurgundyWithTweedy Well now there's you. Someone has to step and preserve the culture.
@@Jubilo1 Impossible shoes to fill! I do at least often refer to him in my videos so I hope I am doing my small part to keep his memory alive.
Their Bourgogne Blanc is incredible value. Both 2021 and 2022. Fun to see you try the producer!
I dont get how this channel doesnt have a ton more subscribers. The algorythm is failing you.
Thank you for those very kind words! I think wine in general is not a very popular subject on UA-cam and Burgundy is especially niche! I don't expect the channel to ever get very big but I enjoy making the videos and it's a useful way for me to remember what I've had before and what I thought of it!
The fox in the end just did it for me! Amazing. I must say I really enjoy your way of presentation.
Thank you! I guess this is one of the benefits of a very amateur wine channel - I don't feel any pressure to make the videos look professional and I'm happy to just have fun with it and stray off topic from time to time!
From a quick glance it looks like an ardeseal cork which is at least the best of a bad bunch. Surprised the struck match didnt blow off eventually. Im sure you've mentioned somewhere but how did your prong preference come about?
I think in hindsight this must have been a faulty bottle. I know a bit of struck match is actually considered desirable by some wine makers but to me even in small quantities it sets off alarm bells that something might have gone awry. Slightly ironic if this was indeed faulty given the synthetic closure - they're supposed to reduce the risk of that. Although I guess that's mainly to prevent TCA, and I don't think that was the issue here. I certainly couldn't smell any wet dog! I originally got the wine prongs because they're recommended for older bottles (e.g. 15 or 20 years plus), where there's a chance of the cork disintegrating with a corkscrew... but actually I very rarely drink older bottles like that. After using them a few times I just started to prefer the action compared to a corkscrew. The cork comes out nice and cleanly and I think I actually find it quicker and easier than a corkscrew now (unless it's a synthetic closure of course!). Plus they're neat and compact compared to some corkscrews, which is handy when I'm away from home. Although I suppose a waiter's friend is fairly compact too.
I notice you are trying more 2020 wines. I haven't had a decent 2020 yet, but you never know!
Not really by choice! As I mentioned in the video some shops (perhaps more the "bricks and mortar" rather than online variety) don't seem to have anything older than the 2020s now. Of course if you say to the staff that you think a given bottle might not be ready yet they'll tell you to lay it down for a few years. Well obviously that would help, but it doesn't solve the problem of finding something to drink today!
Usually, I find NsG to be more expensive than GC, but CG is also huge in comparison to the amount produced. More feminine also, so I tend to drink it either alone or with foods such as plain chicken roast. Thanks for the lovely content. 🙏🏽 Cheers! 🥂
Thank you! It's interesting you've observed the pricing of NSG vs GC being the other way round. It's always hard to get an accurate picture of this sort of thing because obviously there are no "official" figures, and there are lots of other variables affecting prices. My observation may have been skewed by the fact I've bought so much NSG from one of my favourite wine merchants (Fingal Rock) and their prices are very competitive. Their cheapest NSG currently listed is £36 - here in the UK at least it would be practically impossible to find anything from Gevrey Chambertin at that sort of price. You make a good point about the overall supply of GC though, you would expect given that there would be lower pressure on prices compared to a smaller village... However I wonder if it's also a factor that there are no Grand Cru vineyards in NSG? I had always assumed the existence of the Grand Crus like Chambertin had a trickle down effect on pricing of even village level wine from Gevrey.
Sounds faulty to me.
I'm coming to that conclusion too Alan!
This one looked as dark as a loganberry!! What a great place for a tasting ...... pot noodle too, whats not to like!!
I always show these wines in very inconsistent lighting conditions so it's hard to make a fair comparison on the colour! It was a great spot though, really enjoyed my time there.
You have the right outlook on life..
I'm not sure everyone would agree but thank you!
@@BurgundyWithTweedy you're welcome..
As a big wine enthusiast I think you're very good at describing the wine. And it sounds like it delivered exactly what is to be expected from a Grand Cru Burgundy. Good stuff!
Thank you - I really appreciate that! I'm absolutely an amateur, I've never worked in the wine industry, and I don't even think I have a very good sense of smell, so I have to work quite hard at tasting notes! I was bracing myself to be a bit underwhelmed, and half expected it might seem like any other Gevrey Chambertin - but this genuinely did seem like something quite different and special. Probably not an experiment I'm going to be repeating very often, unfortunately!
The algorythm pointed me toward this video of yours. Burgundy is my love too. New subscriber!
Thanks for subscribing!
Can you please indicate price points and may be where to buy?
hedonism is great even if little rip off artist
I agree - in the sort of price range I'm normally more comfortable with (e.g. around £60 for Gevrey Chambertin) I really struggle to find anything at all on the shelves at Hedonism. Also whenever I've tried looking for cheaper appellations (e.g. Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits, which I think can be quite good) there seems to be nothing there. However, given the complex nature of wine pricing and the fact they carry so many bottles, I get the sense sometimes individual wines fall through the cracks a bit, and this particular Chapelle Chambertin was actually cheaper here than at most other retailers I saw on Wine Searcher.
A lovely treat for all your hard work! Glad to see how you enjoyed it (even as you pondered it).
Thanks Steven! I really did enjoy this one.
