Burgundy 2018: the reds

January is Burgundy month for the UK wine trade: big tastings are held for trade, customers and press. offers go out, singing the praises of the vintage before the onein small barrels (in the case of the top , this may be our only chance). With 2018, the wine trade has a winner on its hands—this was one of the hottest and driest growing seasons on record, producing red wines of ripe, dramatic and bold character, as well as some excellent whites.
