I love bourgogne (부르고뉴). It’s the most beautiful grape and the hardest to grow. It likes to live at the extremes. In New Zealand it grows at 45 degrees south in the bone-dry floor of glacial valleys in Otago. Frost and fungi threaten its thin, delicate skin. Yet, this grape for me is perfection. It struggles through snow and frost to produce something extraordinary and extremely sensual.
