"The vines are copper now, and the air tastes faintly of crushed grapes and rain on stone. Even the light seems aged here, as if poured from an old cellar door."

From the Correspondence
Burgundy in autumn moves with a hushed grandeur, all amber leaves and low, forgiving skies. In the villages, the cellars breathe out oak, damp earth, and the dark sweetness of Pinot noir must. You walk as if inside a memory, where every stone wall holds warmth from the day and every vineyard row seems to murmur its own quiet hymn.
