Beaune Premier Cru 'Les Grèves', Domaine de Montille 2021
Domaine de Montille is one of Burgundy's most quietly authoritative estates, and Les Grèves is one of the reasons why. This is a serious Beaune Premier Cru — not the showy, plump kind that flatters on first pour, but the kind that earns its keep. One third whole-cluster fermentation gives it a spine and a faint woodland savouriness that lifts the dark fruit without dominating it. There's a rugged quality here, something a little brooding, with tannins that currently lead the charge. The fruit keeps pace, just, and the finish suggests this wine has more to say than it's letting on right now. This is Pinot Noir at its most determined rather than its most generous, from a vintage that rewarded patience in the vineyard and will reward it in the cellar too.
Morey-Saint-Denis, Domaine Taupenot-Merme 2021
Romain Taupenot continues to oversee the inexorable climb of this fantastic domaine, now indisputably in the premier League, whilst retaining its value proposition. He crafts wines of structure, clear vineyard expression, and complexity from an exciting array of vineyards, and the wines are high class examples of their appellations. Rich in Premiers Crus, Morey-Saint-Denis boasts also 5 Grands Crus (Clos de Tart, Bonnes Mares, Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, Clos des Lambrays). The appellation forms a bridge, between the wines of Gevrey-Chambertin and those of Chambolle-Musigny.
