Let’s look out for each other, it takes a village.

Kenna Wells from **e_advocate recently reviewed the w**es from

Please read her observation of the Domaine below and find the various scores in the pictures.

"Domaine Pierre Vessigaud is a 10-hectare family estate based in the hamlet of Pouilly, now worked by Pierre and his son Simon. The family has grown vines here for five generations, with holdings encompassing five hectares of Pouilly-Fuissé, three hectares of Mâcon-Fuissé, one hectare of Mâcon-Charnay and just over one hectare of Saint-Amour. The domaine farmed organically for a period before interrupting the process and beginning its conversion again in 2019. It is now certified organic and has been Demeter-certified biodynamic since the 2023 vintage.

The Chardonnay is harvested and pressed with whole clusters for around five hours. Fermentation takes place with ambient yeasts, and the w**es are raised for between 12 and 18 months in a combination of used 228- to 600-liter barrels, foudres, concrete and stainless steel tanks. Pierre seeks as little influence from new oak as possible. Several cuvées spend their first year in barrel before being transferred to tank for a further six months. Sulfur additions are generally limited to around 10–15 parts per million in total, divided between the end of malolactic fermentation and before bottling, and the w**es are only rarely filtered. The domaine’s sole red, the Saint-Amour Grain de Folie, is made through semi-carbonic maceration and aged for approximately 12 to 20 months in used barrels.

Across the range, the emphasis is on pure, ripe fruit. The w**es are textural and concentrated yet increasingly refined and finely drawn in their expression. Thoughtful élevage, precise farming and the natural depth of the fruit combine to produce compelling, characterful w**es that offer excellent value."

My speech in French during the farewell lunch of the 60th Congress of the Mcf-usa Chef. What an honor to be able to serve the w**es from our friends at several Domaines along the amazing meals that were prepared.
Thanks again for your trust, it is a privilege to have so many of you as friends.

Should you trust the label or your own palate? 🍷

In Episode 17 of Bottled Up, Daniel sits down with Bertrand of Bertrand’s Wines for an inside look at the world of Burgundy.

They discuss why w**e drinkers should stop chasing famous labels, how to discover great producers before the hype, and why the overlooked 2021 Burgundy vintage deserves another chance. Bertrand also shares the realities of limited allocations and his surprising connection to the Rudy Kurniawan counterfeit w**e scandal.

Would you choose a famous label or an unfamiliar w**e that tastes better?

Our next stop takes us to Cote Chalonnaise with Clemence and Baptiste Dubrulle at

Message received on 09/11:

"Hi Bertrand,
We're unvatting the last Bellecroix tank tomorrow… !

It's a vintage that's appealing for its balanced roundness, without overripeness despite the scorching, dry summer.

At La Folie, we benefit from optimal microclimates for these heatwave seasons: the PINOT NOIRS in particular are planted North / Northeast.

We're adapting our w**emaking to preserve freshness as much as possible, with strict temperature control."

Our next stop takes us to Chablis, in the village of Maligny with Jean-Francois Bordet of :

"Forecasts and characteristics of the 2026 vintage.

Due to a summer marked by intense drought, harvest volumes are shaping up to be generally low. The lack of water and the intense heat caused ripening blockages or significant yield decreases compared to the usual average.

On the quality side, the first grapes brought in show a high sugar concentration (promising w**es rich in alcohol). However, the relative coolness observed at the end of August helped preserve an encouraging acidity level to maintain good balance in the bottle.

Production has dropped due to repeated adverse weather conditions."

We are headed back to Chassagne-Montrachet at the Domaine Marc Morey with Sabine Mollard's impressions:

"2026, an unprecedented and singular vintage. A vintage even hotter than 2003, a summer with 5 heatwaves, the last of which, from August 10 to 14, ended up worsening the water stress.
The vintage starts off well, we narrowly avoid a frost event in March, flowering comes early but goes smoothly and the fruit set is very abundant, the heat intensifies, downy mildew and powdery mildew are nowhere to be found, but from early July the vine suffers from lack of water, some leaves are already yellow, we urgently need water, a small 20mm rain arrives mid-July then nothing more. Temperatures keep rising, causing the skins to harden. Without rain, the berries don't swell and we start the harvest on Wednesday, August 19, with a lot of perfectly healthy grapes but without juice.
The harvest goes very well (mild heat and no rain), the pickers cut quickly, no sorting needed, but in the end the tanks aren't full. On the estate I lose about 40% of the crop. The hillside vineyards suffered a lot, the plots on the plain like Bourgogne and Chassagne fare better. These are more clay-heavy soils that hold moisture well. The yield varies widely from one plot to another.
The summer heat pushed up the sugar levels, this year there's no need to chaptalize. The quality of the harvest is perfect, which bodes well for the quality of this vintage's w**es.
Some vintages leave more of a mark than others, I'm sure this one will stay in my memory for a long time."

Our next stop takes us to Volnay with Frederic from :

"Hi
This year we decided to harvest late for several reasons
For the grapes to reach maturity, it takes on average between 90 and 100 days after the vine's flowering, not 70 days
Above all, we waited for rain to relieve the vine's water stress and let the berries swell
After the first rains, within 24 hours we saw a huge difference in the vines and the grapes
And especially since the forecast was calling for a cooler period
We harvested grapes at phenolic maturity with ripe tannins; on average our analyzed w**es are between 12.9 and 13.5% alc.
Have a good weekend
Fred"

We are back in Chassagne-Montrachet with Simon of and his impressions:

"Hi Bertrand,
On the quantitative side, no surprise, we're in line with 2024 and 2025 — a big half-harvest here.
The hillside vineyards suffered a lot from the heat. Still, I'm impressed by the resilience of the vines, which despite extreme conditions for Burgundy managed to produce beautiful grapes, very healthy with a high sugar content. I hope we've managed to keep the acid balance we like at the estate.
Not really any comparison to make, since this vintage feels "special" to me — but it will unfortunately probably resemble the vintages we're likely to see more and more often in the future. It's up to us

Note: that 📸 was too awesome not to post, thanks Simon!

Our next stop takes us to Viré with Franz-Ludwig from Domaine

"Hi Bertrand,

This 2026 vintage broke earliness records for us. Crémant harvested on August 16 and still-w**e harvest finished on September 3 — that's unprecedented for us.

A very dry vintage, almost no rain since May, and as a result the vines suffered enormously and held back their grapes (even the roads cracked here). The first juices of the season had little flavor because phenolic ripeness wasn't quite there yet, even though potential alcohol was already over 15 on some plots. Little juice — we're struggling to reach even half a harvest (for the third year in a row). Acidity is low (scorched by the blazing sun and successive heatwaves), pH is high — the aging/élevage work will be very important for finding balance in the w**es.

In short, a disappointing vintage for us, because the grape potential was there, but it was wiped out by the drought and heatwaves ever since flowering in May."
