Hi Anna – glad you enjoyed the piece! I agree – the idea that the Burgundy appellation system is some kind of price-fixing mob is pretty nonsensical, especially when – broadly speaking – you can taste the improvements in quality as you go up the pyramid. As for Brunello, I think it has enough track record to show there are differences in regional style, so why not express them on the label. Cheers, M

I just found your blog. Amazing content, thanks so much for all the knowledge that you share. I totally love this comment: “main function of any worthwhile wine classification system is beneficial to both growers and drinkers” – this is so true! It makes me rather upset when I hear fellow winelovers suggesting that the French appellations, especially in Burgundy, only exist as some kind of price fixing mob. I heartily agree with you that the Burgundian system could be used as a model for others. The smaller parcels allow for the representation of microclimates, micro-terroir if you will, which as we all know has quite an impact on the finished product. Do you believe that Brunello really needs sub-zones? It is a pretty small growing region already.

Best regards, Anna
