The Clos des Epeneaux is among the ten largest monopolies in premier cru or grand cru of the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, with a unique geology compared to its neighbors. The wines it produces are known for their combination of power and finesse, showcasing the best of Pinot Noir, along with characteristic spicy notes. Vinification involves 100% destemming but non-crushing to preserve whole berries, followed by a three-phase maceration process lasting around 4 weeks to achieve a stable and harmonious structure. Aging occurs for 18 to 24 months in oak barrels, with 30% new oak for the old vines of the Clos des Epeneaux.

The Bourgueil – Le Haut de la Butte 2020 from the Domaine de la Butte, created by Jacky Blot, offers elegant and fruity Cabernets. Le Haut de la Butte is made from vines around twenty years old. The approach involves low yields, minimal intervention, limited extraction, and aging in oak.

The Beaune “La Montée” is made through whole-bunch fermentation, emphasizing infusion with minimal punch down and extraction. Hailing from a youthful vineyard, they exhibit strength and maturity, complemented by fresh, rounded tannins with a touch of wildness. Grown in superficial, stony clay and limestone soils on steep slopes, the grapes undergo semi-carbonic vatting for a few days followed by pressurisation, fermentation, and ageing for 12 months on lees, with a proportion of 1/8 new oak and 1/3 unique barrel.

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny from Domaine des Beaumont exudes lovely fruit aromas of red berries. Fresh on the palate, it emphasizes finesse over power. It reveals a restrained oak influence and well-rounded tannins, indicating its suitability for youthful enjoyment. The fruit presence offers intense pleasure and lingers on the palate.

The Les Brunes cuvée is characterized by a beautiful aromatic brightness, intense, with notes of spices, blackcurrant, licorice, and lovely hints of vanilla. It’s a delicious, rich, and flavorful red wine, balanced and full of fruit, with powerful yet fine tannins and excellent aging potential.

The “Instant Present Mondeuse” from Domaine des Orchis, led by Philippe Héritier, offers a delightful experience with its aromas of spring flowers and red fruits. The Instant Present Mondeuse undergoes a 72-hour pre-fermentation as Semi-Carbonic Maceration before continuing fermentation in concrete. It then ages for about ten months on lees in barrels for several years and is bottled with minimal added sulfur, without fining or filtration. With a translucent garnet red color and scents of red and black currants, cherry juice, and hints of elderberry and violet flowers, it promises a refreshing and pure palate.
