A Temple of Burgundy in Beaune
When chef Johan Björklund opened the doors to Le Bistro de l’Hôtel in the spring of 2007, it was a welcome addition to the dining scene in Burgundy’s wine capital of Beaune and an ideal spot to enjoy the region’s wines. Nearly 20 years later, it remains one of the best addresses for enjoying Burgundy’s bounty.
Le Bistro is a classic restaurant in the thriving city that anchors one of the most popular wine tourism destinations in France; each year, thousands of Burgundy lovers, importers, buyers and sommeliers visit nearby vineyards and cellars. In 2015, Burgundy’s vineyards were granted World Heritage status by UNESCO.
Le Bistro de l’Hôtel began as a restaurant for the adjoining Hotel de Beaune, founded by Björklund in 2002, which comprises a mix of historical buildings that embody the cultural heritage and architectural history of Beaune.
The hotel quickly became a mecca for collectors and industry insiders for its contemporary elegance, luxury and central location at the ancient center of the city. In addition to serving the hotel guests, the new restaurant also became a destination for local winemakers and their clients.

Nicolas Joly and His Loire Valley Wines Remain Outspoken
Nicolas Joly prescribes a simple test to determine whether a wine is “alive.” Leave the bottle open for weeks and taste it every few days or so. If the wine remains unchanged or even improves over time, it is a “true, alive” wine. If not, the wine will become oxidized in a day. “When a wine has received life properly in the vineyard, then oxidation has no power,” Joly says. “We can taste when a wine’s energy has been destroyed by bad farming and then someone used enology in the cellar to ‘create’ the wine.”

Frescobaldi in Oregon
Napa Valley was the first place Lamberto Frescobaldi considered when his family's wine company, Italy's Marchesi Frescobaldi, went winery shopping in the United States. Frescobaldi studied viticulture and enology at University of California, Davis, in the 1980s, just as Napa was booming. It was an exciting time in California wine and Frescobaldi wanted to be part of it.

Timorasso Stands the Test of Time
Five years ago I wrote about the resurgence of Timorasso (“The Return of a Piedmont Original, columns, Nov. 30, 2020), a traditional Piedmont white grape variety from the hills of the Colli Tortonesi. Thanks to the efforts of local vintner Walter Massa, along with Elisa Semino of La Colombera and others, Timorasso is not only thriving; it has attracted a number of investors from nearby Langhe.
