The new design for Elitistreview has been live for a few weeks; I hope my regular readers have got over the shock of change and are finding it an improvement. Whether you do or not, I’d like to ask anyone who has a view to let me know what it is…
In our quest to elucidate more about the Cote de Nuits villages we can move up a level to the Premier Crus. This time the poll question is: Which Cote de Nuits village has the most consistently high-quality Premier Crus? Not just one or two good ones, but tits quality across the range…
It has been ten days since I posted my poll about which Cote de Nuits village makes the best village-level wines. You can see the results here. It seems that Chambolle has won with exactly half the votes. I’m not entirely surprised.
The best Chambolle-villages from Roumier and Mugnier are truly fine wines which smash beyond the humble village quality level…
My last poll about Burgundy was a pretty poor effort. It has been pointed out to me, and I agree, that we need more in-depth analysis to determine exactly what constitutes the best Burgundy. Burgundy is such a rich, multi-faceted font of loveliness that it is just so hard to say this one village, vineyard, vintage or whatever is the best…
My poll question is as simple as that, pick your favourite Cote de Nuits wine village. Simple question, bloody hard to answer. I have had lovely, sexy, thrilling wines from every village, how can I just choose one?

The question is, which ones? As my long-term readers know I have almost no cash; I cannot afford much. I am torn between getting 6 bottles of good quality kabinett/spatlese type wines or 3 flashier bottles of top Auslesen. I need guidance. This calls for another fantastic Elitist Review poll!

Further my rant about the poor value of Bordeaux it has been suggested that we try and establish what are the best and worst value wines from France. This seems like time for a couple of polls.

I really loved the Dujac Morey 05 I had last night, it was quite delicious and this got me thinking about ‘premium’ village level Burgundy. There are a few producers who give their basic offerings real stuffing and they are proper wines by any definition of the word…
The results of my ‘Best Cornas’ poll are here. OK, a total of eight votes doesn’t really qualify as popular acclaim, but Clape is clearly the most popular. I can understand how people would vote for his wines, much as I prefer Lionnet.
I was fortunate enough to have another bottle Verset Cornas 1999 last night; it was quite delicious. It made me think about the discussions I’ve had with my wine obsessed friends about who makes the best Cornas. So, I have set up a poll and the best Cornas can be established by popular acclaim.
