    I really like the way Pierre Rovani talks about wine and winemaking. He makes everything very clear, while still being very precise with his descriptions. Easy to visualize what he's describing. I would love to drink wine with him.

      I know Pierre and he's a great guy, very humble as well considering he's an expert on Burgundy and used to work with Robert Parker.

    Some years ago i got lucky and was given the opportunity to taste Le Monrachet Grand Cru and it left me deeply impressed. It was nowwhere near as broadshouldered and vanilly as stuff from overseas, but concentrated, rich, refined and detailed, with a finish that lasted a minute easily. I envision this must be what heaven feels like🤗

    Why is Montrachet so expensive?
    1) Excellent wines due to excellent soil and climate
    2) Excellent winemaking
    3) Hyped up to great heights

      Don't forget the scarcity/rarity as well! With only a few hectares under the Montrachet Grand Cru appellation, there'll only ever be a few thousand bottles produced in any vintage. This lack of supply, coupled with the huge demand, is massively influential in the pricing.

    A great way to appreciate Burgundy wine is to go to the wine museum in Beaune called Marche au Vin. Here you will have the opportunity to taste many wines from many different vinyards along the cote d'or and you will see how 100 yards or less makes such a difference. You will be able to appreciate the claim in this video that there is a clear difference between Le Monrachet and Monrachet

    If you can splurge on a bottle of Chevalier-Montrachet or any of the other Grand Crus you should. Do the research, read the reviews. Before doing this, however, I would try one of the Premiers Crus so you have an idea of what to expect. If you are not a wine drinker, you might be wasting your money. You could alternatively try a California Chardonnay, there are some excellent Russian River vineyards. Again, do the research if you are interested in learning about this wine. You can actually find a nice bottle of Montrachet for $500-$800. This sounds ridiculous until you remember that some people think nothing of dropping that amount of money in a casino. It's true that a bottle of DRC (Domaine de la Romanée Conti) will cost you thousands of dollars. For a good laugh, get a copy of "The Official Guide to Wine Snobbery" by Leonard S. Bernstein (no, not THE LB). And try to see the movie "Sour Grapes" about wine fraud.

    Grape wines are for people who don't know about the superior fruits for winemaking such as elderberries, blueberries, blackberries, pears, plums, and apples. The ancient Romans regarded pear wine as their favorite wine, and yet there they were in the middle of the world's most renown grape growing region. In my opinion (as a seasoned winemaker), all this raving about how wonderful grape wines are is a bunch of human stupidity.

    • @jonathandavis9507

      Those fruits don’t have enough sugar to ferment into what would be designated as wine. Perry and Cider rarely exceed 9% abv.

    • @jimyost2585
      @jimyost2585 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@jonathandavis9507 ~ That's why you add sugar to those fruit mashes. I'm a winemaker and as a rule I add enough sugar to bring the alcohol content up to 13% as that high of an alcohol content will preserve the wine so that I don't have to add sulfites or sorbates at the end to preserve it.
      The same is true of all of the grape wines I've made. They needed added sugar as well to bring them up to that alcohol level.
