Burgundy Today No. 157

The latest issue (157) of Bourgogne Aujourd'hui is now available online, featuring a new, more modern and streamlined title logo and a new tagline. "Wines and the art of living" has been replaced by "Wines, terroirs and wine tourism," a more fitting reflection of the magazine's evolving content over the past few years.
As for the content of this issue, it is, as always, very diverse.* Covid-19, Trump tariffs, Brexit! What a year for the global economy, and especially for Burgundy wines. The feature in this issue shows that the superb momentum of the early 2010s continues to have an effect. In the midst of the storm, Burgundy is holding firm, hoping that the calm will soon arrive…* In the interview section of this issue, Bourgogne Aujourd'hui gives the floor to Gilles de Larouzière-Henriot, the new president of the association of the Climats of the Burgundy vineyards, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015. Contrary to what one might think, nothing is definitively settled, and while the initial success has been achieved, the time has come to build on it.* Crus of the Mâconnais, Savigny -THE- Beaune , Chorey-les- Beaune … In rouge as in blanc The 2018 vintage reveals its strengths and weaknesses with each tasting! In this issue, you'll find several hundred excellent bottles to stock your cellar, starting at €10 a bottle.* How has the 2015 vintage evolved, the first in a long (and ongoing) series of "sunny" vintages? The reds remain very vibrant today, as expected. As for the whites, they suffered more from the heat… as feared!* In this issue, number 157, Bourgogne Aujourd'hui presents the Burgundy of estates in all its diversity: Lucien Boillot, in Gevrey-Chambertin, an incorruptible representative of the classic Burgundian school, and the domaine From… Flavigny-Alesia, in a region where everything remains to be (re)done. Happy reading and may your thirst be quenched!
