Tasting With Gullberg by Stockwine - Part I - A Bunch of Burgundies


I had the opportunity to attend a trade tasting with Gullberg by Stockwine yesterday. A lot of fine wine to taste and meet and talk with winemakers.

Part I - the Burgundies - these were the ones that caught my palate. Since I only spend a minute or two with each wine, while taking notes and simultaneously chatting with the winemaker, I give an approximate score. 

2024 Bourgogne Joie de Vigne, Marchand-Tawse
A fresh, pure nose and a grippy palate with a fine acidity, a real catch for (239 SKR ex VAT).
~90p   (tasted 2026/01)

Somewhat restrained but with a very fine red fruit and a long, layered finish (365 SKR ex VAT).
