Taken from an email from Corney and Barrow
"Every January sees the British wine trade paying homage to the most recently released Burgundy vintage. It is a time-honoured tradition which focuses the mind after the festive season and launches a new year. "
Well, Burgundy, home of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay the way it (imho) tastes the most fabulous. The futures (en primeur) campaign will be out soon and the citys wine brokers will start one of their more profitable seasons
The feeling from some of the C&B people is that the Whites are more superior this year and worth looking out for - though as ever - apart from in the most fabulous of years cherry picking your producers and growers will be paramount
