Meursault Premier Cru, Les Charmes, 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. 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!
Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru 'Les Chalumeaux', Domaine de Montille 2023
The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years. Both red and white wines achieved impressive yields, the largest ever recorded for the estate, with terroir expression and balance shining through. Whites carry the de Montille hallmark freshness and minerality, further underscored by the decision to reduce the percentage of new oak due to the larger volumes produced. The domaine features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine, and White Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
