Day 4-Burgundy-Overview

We tried a staggering 82 wines before dinner and if you include dinner, a whopping total of 94 different wines for the day. Wow. I mean, wow. Not as bad a day as yesterday. Jet lag was mostly gone and I got to try some incredible wines today. Chevillon was one of my favorite producers, simply because his wines were powerful and dark and I felt, really outdid some of my favorite Oregon producers. Berthau was one of my favorites because of the incredible grace and elegance his wines put forth. Just like with Jobard the previous day, I have never smelled anything like that in a wine in my life. Such perfume and elegance and balance. Truly amazing stuff. Finally, I was really impressed with Gachot-Minot, because not only is he making affordable Pinot's, but they're really well done and I want to sell his wine.
