My trip to Burgundy in November to taste the 2010s will go down as one of the highlights of my career. There have been few years in recent memory that even come close to the quality of the 2010s, I am convinced this will go down as a legendary vintage in years to come. The quality is apparent across the board with even the “lesser” appellations producing wines of exceptional quality. As always there is a price to be paid for such vinous delights and in 2010 it is the size of the harvest. Yields might be down, but this is still a year to celebrate, with many growers raving about the sheer quality of the wines produced.
