Bernard Hudelot who is both a professional viticulturist and a Professor of Wine at France’s Dijon University has brought samples of his wines again to Bangkok and I have tasted them for the second time. www.domainedemontmain.fr
There were differences, as is normal, on the same wines; some showed better last time than on this tasting but this is all due to transport and so many other factors. Overall, most of the wines were drinking very well, however, can we expect them to even approximate what we tasted tonight or on the last tasting if they are transported commercially rather than hand-carried? The answer is no! Look at the years, all so fragile.
