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🤗
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 im asking randomly but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Bridger Zev i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@@ELICITE : Yes, the earthy appearance of Falstaff and the culture of a second to none expert on wines topic ( and certainly also on gastronomic matters ! ). If he were Japanese he would be labelled " a living National treasure " and if he were British he should be knighted ! Fascinating character !
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
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.
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.
Monsieur Rovani was well spoken and a pleasure to listen to. I can attest to his expert knowledge as I have had the great pleasure of enjoying every Montrachet during my lifetime. There is no greater Chardonnay in the world.
5 weeks ago I bought Bouchard M for $489, being by no means millionaire. it was 2011-fully mature. Apart from long fat finish-big nothing! zero teroir or power. In the past i loved M's by DRC, jadot, colin, drouhin and prieur, all packing the gear! Buy top new world chards-$50+will foot the bill and ya will be on cloud 9, of course if not a snob. cheers
The problem is with many of these aging wines, if they're are in your home. It's almost acid and over date. Their are so expensive almost going to rich people and wines who are over datum we get this and it's worst of the worst experience you have!
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 ~ 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.

I couldn't agree more.
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.
Great video! This interviewee was riveting--his tone, cadence, and vocabulary made me want more! He packed tons of information into 6.5 minutes.
Thanks for the lovely feedback Trevor! It took us a long time to find the right voice for this topic, so we're thrilled that you love it.

@Bridger Zev it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass !
The English expert is top ! He really is an encyclopedia on the topic !
Sorry, the expert interviewed is not British but French, Mr Pierre Rovani, C.E.O. of a Burgundy wines company. His English accent is Amazing !
@@Wottan007 He is great, isn't he!

@@Wottan007 He's a fantastic character and an absolute gem on camera and in person. Truly a fantastic guest for a dinner party.
Pierre is an American. He was born in Washington DC and was Robert Parker's first assistant. I should hope his English is good!

Wine is. Classified as a food product 😁🍷
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.
You mentioned hyped but didn’t add well deserved.
Lands are expensives

Nice to know About. Still a glas of Saint emmilion is Nice to:-)
Studying for my CMS level 1 and I am loving this series. Very informative and well done.

You lucky blighter!
@@gilgamesh3328 Yes, very lucky. Something that a small percentage will ever get to enjoy.
wow . Awesome video. Good editing! Thanks for your video. I enjoyed watching it!
Very nice and artistic post. Thank You
I love Chardonnay wines. Someday, maybe I will meet someone who will offer me a taste of this elixir.
This is great content. Keep up the great work!
really well explained!
very imformative , thank you
Excellent review that great Montrachet is evolving!
The music is top
Well said
Who did you interview?
The gentleman in the video being interviewed is Pierre Rovani, President of Burgundy producer Remoissenet Pere & Fils
Grace Kelly's favorite wine?
Puligny-Montrachet 2014, best white wine in the world !

The like went to the expert dude. Not to how this was presented.
My horse’s is named Montrachet ...
Georgian wine in the best in the world
Amazing but I need to taste it now
An incredible appellation, but the wines from Montrachet certainly come at a price!
Super marketing
Super hype
Great winemaking
Poesia!

i prefer Rombaeur.
societe civile du domaine de la romanee Bouteilles Ricolies
hard to focus on the the narration when the music is playing at the same time. one at a time is a better. at least for me
I miss the brunette girl with the horse face, she is magnificent
The vagabond freighter undoubtedly remove because headlight nutritionally settle before a special bolt. lean, efficient birch
10 seconds in and the narrator already pronounced Montrachet horribly wrong :(

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

Fanta grape tastes better
