Laurent set about to catapult these wines into the stratosphere and after sweeping up at the IWC 2020 awards for their incredible 2019s, one could argue, they may have reached space itself! They were in fact the biggest winner at the awards, picking up 8 trophies, Red Winemaker of the Year (for the wonderful Christophe Briotet), as well as 15 gold, 30 silver and 7 bronze medals. Safe to say, club members lapped up last year’s allocations and the staff too have been enjoying Laurent’s wines throughout the year. It is with great pleasure therefore that I can offer these brilliant wines. Best vintage yet? We certainly wouldn’t bet against it… Every cuvée is treated individually, without a set formula for quantity of new oak, or amount of whole bunches used, which allows each wine to offer a true and deeply satisfying expression of the individual terroirs and vintage. What we have is absolutely everything we love about Burgundy. A real sense of place.
What the critics say:
"Mainly from Petit Maupertuis. With some whole bunches (30%), which is rare for them this year as Christophe Briottet thought the stems were not fully ripe. Powerful black purple, Juicy cherries and plums, still in balance. A big rich weight on the palate but there are some fresher red fruit notes which come up behind. 80% new wood but this shows less than in many others, a tribute to the concentration of the fruit. Tasted: December 2021"
