Burgundy 2019 En Primeur

Tom and Clemence had a fascinating week in Burgundy and even with Covid-19 restrictions, they were able to meet and taste with the majority of our key growers - for which we are glad as 2019 is a vintage that deserves your attention: the reds have lived up to the early promise showed last year and the whites have surprised everyone, growers included, by turning out sensationally. In fact Tom can’t recall such an even-handed year in terms of quality since 2010.

Ballot-Millot

Charles at Ballot-Millot will always have an exciting line-up and 2019 is no exception.

Bichot & du Clos Frantin

A really pleasing set of wines from Domaines Bichot, with once again the highlights coming from jewel in the crown Domaine du Clos Frantin.

Comte Armand

Although it takes years to reach its full potential, it’s worth the wait as with maturity Epeneux is like a universe in a glass, exploding exponentially in all directions at once.

de Montille

The domaine’s consistently top class reds and whites gives an unrivalled perspective on the quality and style of the vintage.

Dugat-Py

Loïc Dugat, now 13th generation, is continuing the family tradition of making some of the greatest and most sought-after wines in Burgundy.

Duroché

Pulling up at Pierre’s in Gevrey is accompanied by a sense of huge excitement and a question – can he do it yet again? The answer is an emphatic yes.

Edouard Delaunay

The consistent balance of succulence and focus, sweetness and salinity, authenticity and sophistication shows that there are great things ahead for Maison Delaunay.

François Raquillet

Up-and-coming pockets away from the centre can often provide real satisfaction for less money. Here, Mercurey is one such area that is definitely fulfilling its promise.

Georges Lignier

“The vintage of my life” is how the ever ebullient Benoit Stehly describes 2019, adding “the grapes were perfect, the balance, energy and terroir expression – perfect.”

Henri Magnien

These were among the most hedonistic, plush and muscular sets of wines we tried, although alcohol levels remained between 12.7 and 13.6%, and there is no lack of energy here.

Jane Eyre

One of the pioneers of the growing micro-negotiant movement, Jane continues her inexorable rise to stardom.

Jean-Marc Boillot

The Boillot wines are rich, ripe and ample but oak is kept to a maximum of 30% and there is always the underlying minerality and a core of zesty citrus to balance the waxy, yellow fruits.

Jean Tardy et Fils

“2019 has the warmth and richness of 2015, with the freshness and terroir expression of 2016.”

Michel Gros

Low yields, hand picking, total destemming and minimal racking are factors in the resultant style of Michel’s wines – supple and seductive.

Paul et Marie Jacqueson

Extremely proficient winemaking and judicious use of new oak (20% for whites and 25% for reds) make for beautifully crafted, ripe, intense, sensual wines.

Philippe Colin

Emmanuel suggests 2019 has the “matier” and intensity of 2014 with more of the generosity of the warmer vintages - definitely “Grand Year”.

Philippe Pacalet

On the recent hotter vintages: “We have more tannins, more acids, more sugars, more aromatics, more everything.”

Pre-Release of Prieuré Roch 2018

The Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 'Clos des Corvées Vielles Vignes', 2018.

Taupenot-Merme

Wines of structure, clear vineyard expression and complexity, from Bourgogne Rouge up to Clos des Lambrays.

Tollot-Beaut

Founded in the 1880s, Tollot-Beaut remains amongst the best value and consistently rewarding growers in the Côte de Beaune.
