Our assemblages – a guide

Image

17 August We feel you deserve a change from the Argentine vine-nuzzling piglets that adorned this article for the last five weeks. Richard took this picture of lab samples of young wines in Burgundy last month. Alas, after a series of small harvests, the 2016 crop there is likely to be shrunk by frost, in some cases very seriously. Burgundy prices continue their ascent. Our series of assemblages (the expanded Burgundy one was republished on 12 August) continues for the rest of this month. 

5 July We expect to have published a total of 23 assemblages of the team's tasting notes by the end of August, at a rate of about two a week from now on. Here is a guide to those that have already been published, most recent at the top.
