 The mildew plague sweeping through French vineyards has not caught on in Burgundy due to the recent cold weather, say local growers.
Although there have been scattered reports of mildew affecting leaves in vineyards throughout the region, with the Cote Chalonnaise most affected, the incidents are rare and have not spread to the grapes where most damage occurs.

Most of us know how to visit a winery, don't we? You walk into the tasting room and try to wangle a taste of as many of the producer's best wines as possible.
But in Burgundy, the business of visiting to taste is very different indeed. The places where Burgundy is made have in most significant cases remained virtually unchanged for centuries.

As the annual round of Burgundy tastings kicks off in London, the 2005 vintage is shaping up to be as good a seller as Bordeaux - though less hyped.
While many offers haven't yet been released, merchants are already bullish.

The first impressions of the 2006 harvest in Burgundy are that it is a vintage which has favoured white wines more than red. However, there are some good reds, especially from the Côte de Nuits.
The chaotic and uncertain climatic conditions throughout 2006 presented a challenge even for the most experienced Burgundy winemakers.

This is a preliminary report on 2005 and 2004 in Burgundy. 2005 is being praised to the skies, attracting labels such as the vintage of the century (the fact that there is a long way to go this century seems to be irrelevant).
2004, poor thing, is being cast as the 'plain sister', whose presence is just about tolerated

| One of the nicest problems to have when you have an extensive cellar is that you are almost certain to have wines you have forgotten about. There is then the risk that you may not remember or come across those bottles until they have 'died' - this happens to all collections, big or small.

During a recent trip to the French wine regions of Champagne and Burgundy, I was struck by how winemakers continually talked about striving for finesse, balance and delicacy in their wines.
Contrast that with my sojourn earlier this month in the Napa Valley, where winemakers were more likely to talk about power, concentration and richness.

If you read about Burgundy even a little, you are sure to hear about it being the most exciting, most romantic and sexiest of all wines. You will also hear that the pinot noir, the grape of red Burgundy, is fickle and finicky and is very difficult to coax great wine out of year after year.
Real Burgundy is not a color, but a wine that comes from France, is made of pinot noir, and will say Bourgogne on the label. It is not made by Carlo Rossi and you can’t get it for five bucks a bottle.

| As the result of gravel extraction by Pioneer Aggregates, the site of the first proven Roman vineyard in Britain has been discovered at Wollaston near Northampton. Situated in the Nene Valley, the site of over 10 hectares (25 acres) has been confirmed by the identification of vitis pollen from the now decayed Roman vines. Its dating has been estimated as 2nd - 3rd century A.D.
