"The vines hold the last gold of day, and the hills breathe quietly, as if the earth were remembering wine. Summer here tastes of crushed berries, warm stone, and a shadow of old oak."

From the Correspondence
Burgundy in summer is a patient seduction: cicadas in the hedges, chapel bells thinning across the vines, and villages that seem to rest inside their own perfume. By dusk, the limestone cools beneath the feet, while the cellars keep their hush and their secrets. Everything feels distilled to essence — light, soil, fruit, and time.
