Auxey-Duresses, Les Ecusseaux, Domaine Yves Boyer-Martenot 2021
This 4th generation estate is now run by Vincent Boyer, whose unique take on Meursault is already making serious waves in the Cote d'Or. Vincent's ambition has always been to capture the heart of the village and let the fruit do the talking, and with this magnificent set of 2020s he is very much succeeding! The domaine practices organic farming, uses only indigenous yeasts and minimal new oak, while every winter the wines ferment in either cement vats or 900 litre oak foudres, preserving the integrity of the fruit. The wines mature gently at cooler temperatures and thus they require less filtration and fining. Vincent is one of the rising stars of Burgundy and his tenacity is evident in his sumptuous yet impeccably balanced wines that provide a fresh perspective on Meursault. This estate is truly a hidden gem of Burgundy.
Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut 2020
Anne and Hervé Sigaut kindly postponed relaxing in to the weekend to host Nathan and me for a tasting at 6.30pm on a Friday. And we are very glad they did. Anne was the first to harvest in the village on 23rd August (and only in the morning as it was too hot by lunch time to be anywhere other than sipping iced drinks in the shade) which has led to a well-delineated, elegantly perfumed, sweet pastille-fruited set of delicious wines. From the village wine right up to the senior crus, the domaine has managed to capture Chambolle’s signature florality and sensuousness, and in 2020 there is an extra layer of hedonic, plush and suavely ripe red fruits (and a touch of black fruits too). The grapes are biodynamically farmed, 100% destemmed, and the wines unfiltered and unfined.
