As always very informative! You not only make me want to drink the wines (which I expect from every video in which you explain wines or regions), but you also make me want to visit these places. So you are a master of wine but also a good travel agent 😉
I got turned on to Auguste Clape’s Cornas by a fellow wine lover. It is an incredibly well made and delicious version of Cornas. Would be fun to have you taste one of those. Cheers 🥂
Thank you for telling us more about the northern Rhone. Did not know that there are only so few vinyards on the northern Rhone compared to the southern part. All in all I have got the impression that the Rhone is still rather unknown at all. Of course not among wine freaks but if you ask casual wine drinkers about French wine I am pretty sure the would als name Bordeaux, Burgundy und Champagne but not the Rhone region.
I so love Hermitage wines, too bad they are quite expensive - Syrah at its best. . BTW: When can we see a tasting of sweet desert wines? Sauternes, Germany in all its splendor and diversity of course, Coteaux du Layon, Canadian Icewine, Alsace Vendanges Tardives etc....?
Konstantin, many thanks for the clear and informative video. Could you please recommend some of your favourite producers of Northern-Rhône-style Syrah in the mid-price range (
Love the channel, binge it every chance I get! But Pope John XXII built the castle that established CdP, right? He was the successor to Clement VII that built the infrastructure and helped set the rules for CdP viticulture, right?
Thank you. The Chateauneuf was originally built a long time before both of them. Clement moved the papacy to Avignon and John took over from him as far as I know.
Bei meinelese.de habe ich den Crozes Hermitage Pontaix, Dumien Serrette Henri und Ju de Vie Rouge im Angebot. Alles Syrahs. Ansonsten empfehle ich Chapoutier, Graillot, Piedrasassi, Penfolds.
Interesting that white grapes are used in red wine. Italy’s been getting rid of using white grapes in red wine. What about Cote Rôtie? Isn’t that most Syrah if not all Syrah?

Lol!
Best wine channel on UA-cam

Pope Clement, yes! I could easily get by on Rhones alone. An excellent series. I had Cornas with roast duck with pomegranate mollasses.
Thanks!
Best surprise & quality together was Le Meal Blanc 1999, amazing 😊🙏
The best experience I’ve ever had with a wine was a Guigal La Mouline. Every tiny sip blew me away
I love your videos... you put out quality content always. I find myself watching your stuff when i am not working
Glad to hear it!
Please do south west France. The lot valley cahors wines

That is true and it is a bit of a shame ... but it also means that the wines are often a very good value proposition.
@@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine Every medal has to sides... :-)
Awesome wine region!!
Nice video Konstantin

Congratulations for the channel. When can you give us a Portuguese wines taste? Cheers

You seem in good spirits in 2022
I can’t find the southern rhone video
Where do you stay in N. Rhone? Looking for getaway and want to stay in area. Just stay in Lyon? Help! Love you man!
Thanks Konstantin, nice as usual.
Are you using google to see this nice 3 d maps? Amazing tool
Yes I am! It is Google Earth
It would help if you can put the names you mention on the screen--trying to keep up is taxing.
Thanks - I will do that more often.
Que syrah syrah....Love Jaboulet wines.
I’ll by in Lyon for three days in Jun. what is a must visit producer and can you visit without introductions
Another great video, could be helpful for learning if you also included some text (i.e. the spelling of a grape when you say it etc.)
Thanks! I will make sure to do that more often.

Hallo, danke für das informative Video. Hast du einige konkrete Kauftipps für mich? Lg Matthias

You need to expand your horizons a bit, and a great place to start would be syrah from British Columbia, Canada. 👍🍷
I should!
Interesting that white grapes are used in red wine. Italy’s been getting rid of using white grapes in red wine. What about Cote Rôtie? Isn’t that most Syrah if not all Syrah?
They are allowed to use Viognier in Cote Rotie. Cornas is the only area that has to be 100% Syrah
What's your favorite Northern Rhone?
