More French Pronunciation: Jasnieres

Hey, I love the French--and especially Burgundian---segmentation and confusion of names within the vineyards of AOC. For instance the classic case where one vineyard in the Nuits is allowed two different names, both enshrined in AOC regs, because the different owners could never come to an agreement and both were too stubborn to yield.

I plan to drink some and give some to a friend who I ruined forever by shifting her from oaky Chardonnays to Jasnieres (who then complained that it was a hell of a lot easier to find oaky Chardonnay than some obscure AOC in France).

Sounds good. Although even if it is obscure Jasnieres is "up and coming" in the sense that more and more interesting quirky natural wine is being made there every year.

Let's hope we can't say the same thing about oaky Chardonnay.
