Monthélie Premier Cru, Clos des Champs Fulliot, Domaine Éric Boigelot 2018
We're always keeping our eyes peeled for top value producers in Burgundy, and certainly Éric Boigelot is one of the most exciting we've found to date. The domaine is next door to Raphael Coche Dury - to whom Éric is selling grapes, including all his Narvaux (sadly!). Coche no longer writes domaine on the label because of the need to source fruit externally – an amount of which comes from Éric. " If it's good enough for Coche, it's good enough for you " should be the strapline here... Éric's 2018 Monthélie Clos des Champs Fulliot offers vibrant red fruit flavours layered with earthy undertones and well-integrated tannins. With its balanced acidity and long finish, it pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes such as roasted duck, coq au vin, pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, and soft-ripened cheeses. It also complements dishes with earthy flavours and herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage.
Savigny-lès-Beaune 'Les Bas Liards', Maison Pierre Meurgey 2022
Our second vintage from Pierre, who divides his time between vineyards in Macon and the Cote d’Or, the latter being made in Chateau de Bligny, formerly the winemaking base of Jane Eyre. Pierre characterises 2022 has having “ ripeness and preserved freshness" . He suggests that despite the hot year the wines do not have the same concentration as 2020 - which were more forced because of the early harvest, and instead show a greater natural balance, being made from “ happy fruit ” as he puts it. He notes the wines have gained more body during élévage but retain a fresher style than normal solar vintages. Head Wine Guru Tom's notes are a little brief as an unexpected appointment to taste the Hospices de Beaune 2023 wines at the cuverie prior to this year’s auction cut across our appointment so we raced through these wines with almost indecent haste! We highly suggest you take your time to appreciate them more leisurely as there is plenty to enjoy here. “A south-facing site between ‘Les Lavieres’ 1er Cru and the river Rhoin that bisects the village. Now organic, eight barrels were made, a larger one of which is new oak. Inky, generous nose, small black cherries and cedary earth, with pressed violets adding a more refined top note but this is a pretty substantial Savigny. The supple palate continues the cerise theme and shows more ripe blueberry, and tamarind, with a salty lick on anise on the finish.” Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru
