About this episode
The episode discusses the role of nurture in wine-making, focusing on Burgundy and the individuality and homogeneity in the wine industry.
Where we discuss the element of nurture in wine-making. To be honest, a lot of the episode focuses on Burgundy but that is because it contextualises the role of the producer so well. Individuality can be critical in the world of wine but so can homogeneity. Choices are made from the planting of a vine and who owns it, right through to the moment of bottling. Rather predictably the path runs back to merchants as well. We mention Napoleonic Law, whisky, cooking knives and Pierre Le Bon. Which is a shame as we actually meant not even Philip the Good, but his Grandfather Philip the Bold , oh well, its all just wine talk in the end. Hosted on Acast.
