Unfortunately, the Longevenings had to be canceled in the new year due to illness. But now we're back at it again, with Chardonnay from Piedmont and a red Burgundy.

Piedmont offers many autochthonous grape varieties, so do you need a Chardonnay from Piedmont? The Pio Cesare 2021 Langhe Chardonnay Piodilei is very modern with vanilla, blossoms, full Body and perfect balance. It is dense, mineral and long. With a little more complexity, this would even be a great wine. This is a very positive surprise and shows that Chardonnay from Piedmont also makes sense. 17.8/20 points.

The Bouchard Pere & Fils 1995 Beaune 1er Cru Greves Vigne de L'Enfant Jesus is very ripe with malt, moss, underbrush, medium to full body, balance and a medium-long to long finish. 16.5/20 points, for old wine fans perhaps also 17/20 points.
