Burgundy 2019 – a guide to our coverage

Tuesday 10 November 2020 • 1 min read
Picking bins stacked at Y Clerget, Pommard

Picking bins have been washed and stacked after the 2020 vintage. The press is packed away. So now is the time to assess the 2019 vintage. Will its charm be sufficient to stave off a certain cooling of the world's wine drinkers' love affair with burgundy?

It hasn't been easy to get to Burgundy to taste the 2019s but once I got there, the wines were delightfully easy to like – at the superior domaines I visited anyway. I'm hoping to continue to deepen my acquaintance with these wines grown in a seriously hot year and will continue to add tasting articles, since there is a steady trickle of burgundy 2019 tastings in London.
