Chablis wine region | JancisRobinson.com
WEBBurgundy's white wine outpost is one of France's most northern and it is hardly surprising therefore that the wines are naturally relatively sinewy, high in acidity and steely rather than luscious and oaky. This is an archetypally refreshing, long-lived style of white wine which very few wine regions, possibly none other than Chablis, can produce.

Burgundy Red Wine Vintage Chart: 1978 to 2022
WEB2001. Wet summer with some heat spikes. As for red bordeaux from this vintage, a gentle hand was needed in the winery to retain delicacy and not emphasize the already notable tannins.

WEBA vintage characterized by extreme drought. The winter of 2021/2022 was very dry. Spring and summer did nothing to alleviate the pressure.

How to store wine | JancisRobinson.com
WEBNov 18, 2020 · In very general terms the ideal wine storage temperature is probably between 10 and 15 °C (50 and 59 °F), but no great harm will come to wine stored between 15 and 20 °C (59 and 68 °F) so long as the temperature does not fluctuate too dramatically causing the wine to expand and contract rapidly, with a risk of letting air in. Maximum and ...
