Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru Rouge, Domaine Comte Armand 2022
The appellation’s grandest domaine, Comte Armand has been overseen by winemaker Paul Zinetti since 2014. The domaine features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2022 Special Report. From two of the best parcels in the village: Les Breterins, on the steep part of the slope, with well-drained chalky soils, and ‘Les Duresses’, from a dip in the valley with deeper clay soils.
Nuits-Saint-Georges 'Aux Saint-Juliens', Domaine de Montille 2019
Tasting at de Montille is always an education as the opportunity to sample across the Cote d’Or, the domaine’s consistently top class reds and whites, gives an unrivalled perspective on the quality and style of the vintage, accompanied by Brian Sieve’s typically measured appraisal. Only marginally affected by the frosts of 2016 and 2017, the domaine has enjoyed fairly homogeneous yields across the last three vintages. Great fruit set and warmer evenings but not the relentless heat that affected some sites established the tone for the domaine’s wines, and as ever, Brian is strict about picking based on the acidity profile of the grapes, which has ensured balanced wines with the correct pH and alcohol levels under 13.3%. Elegance, focus and energy epitomise the domaine’s wines and they were a pleasure to taste as always.
