When you taste wine, it is not only one. You would be drunk if swallowing all
22:04 no man it's not really a matter of being rude or not here! She's explaining the method of tasting in oenology. It's a different time in life, it's not like being at a table with family and friends and drinking wine as a customer.
If you're a judge for a yearly competition and you need to rate several dozen competitors, it's just not feasible to swallow the wine you're rating! You'd be smashed by the time you went through a third of the sample of you need to evaluate. Oenology is not the everyday thing for average people, it's a professional mindset.
Hello Connor, I'm French, thank you for your videos and how you comment on them! I can't say at all which region is the most French. I, too, am not religious, I am a humanist. The Taizé community is ecumenical, which is why it was innovative when it was created. I respect believers who are sincere and good. Winemakers really know how to taste wine and appreciate it, which is necessary in their profession !
About Cluny, to get you a sense of how huge was the abbey, the biggest bell room that you see at 25:09 in the back was not the biggest but a medium lateral one. There were another symetrical on the other side. And the place from where the video is taken would heve been just in front of the entrance, which where between the closest house that you see and the building in the other side.
Most of the abbey was destroyed during the revolution. Today there is an engineering school in the remaining part of the abbey.
If you want to see how it was search abbey of Cluny and you will see photos of the abbey today alongside images of how it was.
5:52 A word of advice to Connor : if you want to experience a sweet and sugary cantaloupe (or melon de Cavaillon in French) in a way that is quite popular in France and Portugal here's the very simple recipe :
Cut melon horizontally in half.
Scoop out and discard seeds (or plant them in an appropriate soil if you want to grow melons by yourself)
Place melon halves on individual serving plates.
Pour up to 1/4 cup of ruby port into each half.
Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
And if you appreciate strong mustard, I recomment the one that comes from Beaune, even if it isn't far from Dijon that's where the real deal comes from. The brand Edmond Fallot is excellent and they have a great choice of flavored mustards, the Madras curry and the blackcurrant ones are chef's kiss.
What a beautiful part of France.
7:54 No. It taste garlic and butter 😅
3:19 I used to work for this company. Took vacations aboard one of these boats. Was great !
I like snails. They are chewy but do not taste like seafood. Maybe more like mushrooms, hard to say.
The green stuf is garlic butter with herbs.
My greetings from my Burgundy. I am from Burgundy and I love your channel that I discovered a few months ago on different topics that talk about France. We feel your love for my beautiful country.
Vous êtes le bienvenu chez nous
Religion is based on fears.
Selling escargot deparately helps to cook your personal recipe.
Hi Conor,
I live in Burgundy, I would be glad to show you the region if you would be interested visiting it.
Nuits-St-Georges is likely the best wine in the world. No other wine (californian, spanish, italian, australian, chilian, south african, even Bordeaux) can't compete.
Burgundy might be profoundly French, but these 2 Steves in kakis and loose fit short sleeved shirts are aggressively American ^^
I am Swiss, but have bought a country house and retired in Burgundy. I even was in Beaune… and La Rochepot… yesterday for my wife's birthday. A town of incredible cultural wealth!
The region is really the epitome of France. Excellent wines, good food, nice people, gorgeous and well preserved environment, a millennia of patrimony!… An unrivaled quality of life!
You are correct about the history, after the death of Charlemagne his empire was split into three parts, the middle part was Burgundy until it later became part of France.
Bourgogne .
One of the main reasons people eat snails is because it gives a perfect pretext to spread hot garlic butter on fresh bread. This is "pure gourmandise" as we say in French, and a very greasy guilty pleasure. In fact, snails are pretty bland, and the magic only (or mainly) happens because of the butter garlic parsley mix 😉 Oh, and by the way, the scones on the buffet were probably "Gougères au fromage" which are typical cheese pastry choux from Burgundy that you eat as aperizers. Thanks for your vidéos!
The French flag is a beautiful flag, but the Dutch is older (first tricolour flag) and allegedly was used as inspiration for the French and Russian flag.
Hospices de Beaune is featured in the French movie "La Grande Vadrouille" with Louis de Funès and Bourville, during WW2, British pilots are sent to contact the Resistance and are lost in the countryside after landing via parachute. One of them arrives in the Hospice to conceal his presence to the nazis.
The sheer size and power of Cluny helped spawn an other order of Monks, their rival in fact; the Cistercians which were drawn to more discretion and austerity because they thought that Cluny was driven hy hubris and thirst for power and luxury, the main Cistercian Abbot, Bernard de Clairveaux was the educator of King Louis VII (initially not destined to be king until the real heir died in an unfortunate accident), who will marry Aliénor d'Aquitaine.
Snails do not taste like sea food. It tastes like a cooked/sauteed champinion!
Religion is indeed beautiful and can be a force for good, as long as it remains in the personal sphere and doesn't attempt to encroach on the public space. Religious people have to be called to order very often because they confuse their right to worship freely with others' not to. And when religion becomes a political tool: only bad things happen!!!
Hi Connor, I really appreciate your videos and personality! I saw in your videos that you were surprised and regretted that the French don't speak English better. I wanted to tell you that all French people learn English in high school so everyone understands basic English. You need to speak slowly with simple sentences and the French will understand and try to help you. Many French people are shy to speak English because they lack self-confidence, underestimate themselves and are afraid of their accent. It's not because they don't want to speak English at all. It is easier for Anglo-Saxon countries to speak English because the sentence structure is the same as in English. In tourist places everyone speaks English or there will always be someone who will. I am 67 years old, I learned English in high school, and I understand very well when a person speaks slowly with simple sentences, I am able to respond with simple sentences and make myself understood. If a person speaks quickly, I don't understand everything. I understand written English better because I learned a lot of words in high school. To speak English fluently, you have to spend time in an English-speaking country, not everyone can do it or you have to have done higher education in English. I was working in the paramedical field, so I didn't continue English during my graduate school and I didn't need to speak English at work. If you learned a foreign language in high school, I think you can understand.
Il est vrai qu'aujourd'hui le Canal de Bourgogne (242 km) n'est utilisé presque exclusivement que dans le domaine de la navigation de plaisance, il n'en est pas de même pour d'autres canaux à grands gabarits affectés au transport de marchandises, environ 4000km. (ex; Bassin de la Seine, Rhône, Bassin Nord Pas de Calais, Bassin de Moselle…)
I lived nearby Bourgogne/Burgondy for all my life (20 years at north east, 20 years at south (Lyon), I visited it plenty of time but never went on a boat in the region nor anybody I know. It such a cliché (love escargot/snails though).
This video was pretty boring, wrong pick.
