Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru 'Les Millandes', Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut 2021
Despite Neal Martin's yet-to-be-scored latest vintage, it wasn't surprising to see the Sigauts being touted as "Burgundy's Next Big Thing" a few months after Martin sampled the 2020s. After a breakthrough vintage, their legacy has been solidified - even the notoriously hard-to-please critic Allen Meadows of Burghound had nothing but praise for these 2021s. Being specialists in Chambolle Musigny, Anne and Hervé possess an innate understanding of the vines, resulting in well-defined wines that are elegantly fragrant and bursting with sweet fruit flavours. From the village wines to the senior crus, they have captured the signature floral and sensuous character of Chambolle with remarkable elegance and finesse. Grapes are farmed using biodynamic methods, 100% destemmed, and the wines are unfiltered and unfined. Due to the decreased volume of Burgundy's 2021 vintage, Anne and Hervé made the tough decision to reject 30-50% of the harvest - a choice that has paid off handsomely, as the results are truly outstanding.
Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, Les Crots, Edouard Delaunay 2020
"A high and stony slope to the west of the village, with very shallow soils leading straight on to the bedrock. Grapes are organic and aged in 30% new oak. Dark and brooding berry fruits, cacao nibs, dried violets and smoke. Palate is full of stones, salt and freshness – like a plunge in a cold rockpool. Really quite visceral and muscular, with juniper and currants, bounded by sweeter cherry tobacco tannins, this cuvée takes a year or two to show charm and polish but when it blossoms it will be a head-turner I guarantee." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru Laurent set about to catapult these wines into the stratosphere and after sweeping up at the IWC 2020 awards for their incredible 2019s, one could argue, they may have reached space itself! They were in fact the biggest winner at the awards, picking up 8 trophies, Red Winemaker of the Year (for the wonderful Christophe Briotet), as well as 15 gold, 30 silver and 7 bronze medals. Every cuvée is treated individually, without a set formula for quantity of new oak, or amount of whole bunches used, which allows each wine to offer a true and deeply satisfying expression of the individual terroirs and vintage. What we have is absolutely everything we love about Burgundy. A real sense of place.
