In this episode of Five Questions, presented by the Vint Marketplace, we welcome Charles Curtis MW—renowned wine consultant, author, and authority on Burgundy and Champagne.

Charles shares his expertise on how maps help decode complex wine regions, how vintages like 2012 in Champagneand 2019 in Burgundy are shaping collector trends, and why lesser-known regions like New York’s Finger Lakes and Germany’s Mosel deserve your attention.

Highlights include:

  • His top current-release and historic vintages in both Burgundy and Champagne
  • Why 2017 Burgundy is a sleeper vintage for wine lists today
  • The importance of geographic context in understanding terroir
  • Insights from his upcoming books, including one focused entirely on Champagne
  • Domestic favorites: Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and Finger Lakes Riesling
