Spending so much of my time in Burgundy has many, many advantages, not least the beautiful scenery, the relaxed way of life and my (wife’s) horse, Hengist. But it does mean that I miss out on technological developments somewhat. As a result, I have only just discovered ‘Twittering’ and have been debuting my tweets (@justjasper) during the recent harvest here in Burgundy.

In doing this I was also reminded that I had taken some videos of producers and vineyards in May and found it fascinating to compare their predictions on the vintage to the harvest we’ve just had – some were spot on! Here is a video of me talking to Etienne de Montille at Ch. de Puligny, but there are plenty more on our YouTube channel, including one of the vineyard at Montrachet and a brief look at the old wine press at Maison Drouhin.
