Burgundy and Beaujolais
Burgundy is home to the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown in France, with both red and white burgundy wines providing the benchmark to which winemakers around the word strive to reach.
This fragmented region is not nearly as flashy as Bordeaux, with virtually none of the big Chateaux that you would see France’s ‘other’ fine wine region. Burgundy is dominated by small holdings, with the average grower owning roughly 7.5 hectares of vineyards, largely as a result of the Napoleonic laws of succession. It is a gastronomic melting pot with a wealth of amazing local produce which the wines compliment.
From Chablis in the north, heading south through the Cote d’Or and Cote de Beaune to the Cote Chalonnaise and on down to Macon, both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay make a myriad of different styles of wine from the various vineyards and villages, all enjoying their own unique terroirs.
In the south, Burgundy overlaps with the mainly red wine growing region of Beaujolais. Once derided as simple and uninteresting, it is the Gamay grape that shines when grown on the granite soils of the Beaujolais Villages. Light, but often intriguing and always extremely drinkable, the wonderful red wines of the Beaujolais Villages and Crus such as Julienas, Fleurie, Morgon and Moulin a Vent (amongst others) have come on in leaps and bounds and are proof that the marriage of the right grape, planted on the right soils can produce soemthing very special.

2015 Pernand-Vergelesses ‘Les Combottes’, Louis Jadot
The Les Combottes vineyard sits high on the Pernand-Vergelesses hill and is perfectly sited to produce wines with freshness and balance. This perfectly mature white burgundy is complex with citrus and stone fruit aromas on the nose which follows through to the soft, rounded palate that is underpinned by elegant, mineral-tinged acidity. Although not cheap, this is an excellent value, mature burgundy from vineyards which neighbour Corton.

Pinot Noir
Gilles Remoriquet is forever looking for ways to improve the wines from his 12.5 hectare sustainably farmed domaine. Whether that means a dedicated trip the Jura to see a specialist about selecting the right blend of manure, or investing in a second sorting table which eliminates under-ripe berries by flotation, he is not one to rest on his laurels. Cuvaisons in concrete vats are long, giving a light colour yet concentrated with elegant fruit flavours. Wines are fermented with natural yeasts and never see more than 30% new oak, allowing the fruit to shine through.

Gamay
Domaine Michel Cheveau is a 14 hectare family estate run by Nicolas Cheveau, his brother Julien and wife Aurelie. The family cellars are on the outskirts of the village of Fuissé, being built only five years ago as a result of the family house getting too cramped. The vineyards are worked by hand, by horse and by tractor, and without the use of any agrochemicals. Cheveau is one of the few vignerons who do not fertilize either, choosing to use sward management to stop soil erosion and keep a balance of nutrients in the soil. His vineyards can always be recognised for being meticulously looked after, but fizzing with life.

Gamay
The Morgon Cote de Py is a wonderful example of hand crafted Cru Beaujolais from the prestigious Cote de Py plateau. Made with organically grown, hand harvested grapes from a mixture of Granite and blue stone soils, the wine is made in the traditional semi-carbonic method with 2/3rds of the bunches being de-stemmed and 1/3rd left whole. The wine is matured in a mixture of cask and old barrels and bottled with minimal sulphur without fining. The result is a wonderfully complex wine that is expressive yet elegant and finely balanced. Dark fruits and kirsch like characters mingle with dried herbs, liquorice and mineral undertones along with finely poised acidity which helps the wine remain focussed. Delicious in it's youth, the Cote de Py also shows great ageing potential in the medium term and will continue to develop in complexity.
