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.
Château Sénéjac, (Magnum) 2020
The wines of Sénéjac are characterised by a deep colour almost black in their young years. The very expressive nose exhales scents of black fruits and spices. In the mouth, Sénéjac presents a lot of fullness and intensity while remaining suave and civilised thanks to the smoothness of its tannins. As well as an impressive 93 points from James Suckling, Sénéjac scores 91 points for Jane Anson who, still reviewing for Decanter in 2021, included it in her shortlist of “ Best-value Bordeaux reds 2020 ” where it was comfortably one of the least expensive featured.
