One of the most important questions for winemaker for me has always been why he makes the wine the way he does, and what he ultimately focuses on. I think this is the foundation of foundations in any direction of art, and wine in this case is certainly no exception.

Here is what one can respect the British for: even in difficult economic times, they try to maintain a high standard for the level of wines they sell in wine venues, and for the huge number of wine venues that have been operating for decades. This is a very clear indicator of the development of wine culture.

This time we gathered for one purpose: to drink Burgundy older than 2010, and it turned out to be a truly incredible experience.

Opus One 2007 is a wine that can't help but capture your attention. Open, generous, expressive, and full-bodied on the palate. It tastes perfectly, and compared to Bordeaux 2007, it's simply fantastic, not a bland, greenish substance.
