BURGUNDY 2018 P R E -A R R I VA L O F F E R
FINE WINE
BURGUNDY 2018 Burgundy 2018 - a great year across the board. All price points and villages well worth exploring. With our 2018 Burgundies due to arrive in May, we are delighted to present to you this Fine Wine Burgundy offer. This is a vintage in which you will find pleasure at multiple price points, and wines that are very approachable. This is a vintage that is already proving highly sought after worldwide, particularly as the demand for Burgundy has never been so great. You will find the offer and the details here with all of the wines now available for purchase online. We will keep you updated on the arrival, which for the majority we expect to be early May. Specific arrival dates are detailed by producer in this guide and online. The vintage summary below is provided to give you an overview of the year. What is clear from this and the reviews to date, is that this is a vintage worth looking outside the usual villages and exploring the region broadly. The weather conditions were such that villages that are often austere won’t be this year, they are much more generous and accessible. Whilst offering the ability to be enjoyed young, the 2018 vintage wines have the depth of character and structure to be the perfect addition to your cellar. Vintage conditions The Burgundy Wine Board BIVB, describes the conditions of the 2018 vintage in Burgundy as ideal. A phrase that comes up with regularity in relation to this vintage, along with comparisons to the legendary 1947s. The winter was milder than historically it is in Burgundy; that should not surprise anyone as the world’s climate changes. Alongside not being too cold, it was wet, with record rainfalls in many parts. This overly wet period related in stored water in the soil that proved crucial later in the growing season. A typical Burgundy vintage summary over the past few years would talk of the impact of hail, frost, and a raft of adverse weather conditions. However not this year, with only a very small hailstorm felt in Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet.
Production levels were healthy for once, a welcome change after very small vintages, and the amount of juice in the berries excellent. If it were a smaller crop like previous years, the ensuing heat could have resulted in overly ripe wines. But in 2018 the generosity of the Chardonnay crop benefited from these conditions. There is also no issue with dilution from the volume in these wines. Summer was very hot, the warmest since 2003. Yet following on from a mild wet winter this appears to not have hindered the vintage, but rather been of benefit. Whilst some of the young vines became stressed from a lack of rain, the older vines ripened fully. The higher water table levels from the wet winter provided the all-important stores in the soil to ensure this. 2018 is a vintage where very clean fruit was harvested with no disease pressure. The warm weather through harvest though did not provide much leeway though. It was so sunny during picking, the main challenge was keeping the picked grapes from getting too warm whilst heading to the winery. Overall, 2018 was a year without major weather incidents, where a normal size crop was cultivated. The wet start providing essential water, the warm dry summer perfect ripening. The resulting wines from this ‘ideal’ vintage rather lovely and unanimously highly regarded. Timing and ordering As always with sought after fine wines, market conditions do need to be touched upon, and the demand for Burgundy globally has never seen such heights. Whilst the vintage summary does detail the improved size of the 2018 vintage in comparison to recent years, this will not make up for the increase in demand. Price points are up around the world, not helped by the fact that we now know the excellent 2019 vintage is tiny. Sales of these wines started in January 2020, on the backdrop of uncertain times ahead. This did not seem to affect the insatiable appetite for Burgundy, with allocations becoming ever tighter. We are fortunate to have long established relationships in Burgundy and whilst there are some price increases in this offer, generally we have managed to keep this very competitive. The pricing available is online now for our Fine Wine customers, from today through to the end of April. The wines available while stocks last and / or are allocated. Quantities are very small in many cases, the best approach is to order and the team will be in touch to discuss.
Kind regards, Liz Wheadon
UNDERSTANDING BURGUNDY Burgundy is the narrowest and longest wine region in France, but one of the smallest, most fragmented and difficult to understand. With more than 1,000 names and over 100 appellations it’s easy to see why. To understand the fragmentation, one must look at the past briefly. Once Burgundy was owned almost entirely by the church, until 1789 when the French Revolution took place. During this vineyards were seized and broken up and given to families to farm. French Inheritance laws have further fragmented these vineyards. When it comes to the grapes grown in Burgundy, things get a little simpler. There are only three main grapes grown in Burgundy. Pinot Noir for red wine, Chardonnay for the white and Gamay for Beaujolais. There are various levels of quality in Burgundy. At the top is Grand Cru. Next is Premier Cru, followed by wine from a specific Village and then Burgundy generic appellations. Burgundy can be divided into three distinct areas: 1. Chablis: The northern most and closest to Paris is Chablis. The only grape allowed to be planted here is Chardonnay because the soil is made up of chalk, decomposing oyster shells and the fact that it is very cold and could not reliably ripen Pinot Noir. 2. Côte d’Or: the heart of Burgundy – which is then further divided into; a. Côte de Nuits: Quite literally home to the world’s most expensive vineyards and wines. Virtually all Pinot Noir because of the soil being heavier and more clay based. b. Côte de Beaune: The lower part of Burgundy central is dominated by Chardonnay and is the home to the most expensive Chardonnays in the world from the village of Puligny Montrachet. 3. Beaujolais: a huge region that produces vastly more wine than the 3 other areas combined. The only grape really planted here is Gamay. Côte de Nuits The following are the main villages in the Côte de Nuits; Gevrey Chambertin In this village the vineyards are on gentle slopes with layers of pebbles on the top. The wines from Gevrey show red berry characters when young and game characters in the richer wines, as they develop they tend to have more licorice characters. Grand Cru’s are Chambertin, Clos de Bèze, Charmes-Chambertin, Chapelle, Chambertin, Griotte-Chambertin, Latricières-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin and Ruchottes-Chambertin.
Morey-St-Denis Not as well known as the other villages in the Côte de Nuits, located between Gevrey and Chambolle, the vineyards in Morey-St-Denis have a good free draining gradient and a base of limestone. Morey-St-Denis is home to the Grand Cru vineyards of Clos de la Roche, Bonnes Mares, Clos de Tart, Clos St-Denis and Clos des Lambrays. Chambolle Musigny Wines from Chambolle Musigny are one of the most delicate in Burgundy, they display fragrant fruit and finesse. The light soil and varying gradients of the village create this delicacy and the complexity of these wines. Grand Cru’s are Bonnes Mares and Musigny. Vougeot This village is home to one Grand Cru – Clos de Vougeot which covers more than four-fifths of the area under vines here. Clos de Vougeot wines are rich and generous yet not overpowering. Vosne Romanée Home to the most expensive wines in Burgundy, the village of Vosne Romanée is home to the Grand Crus – Romanée-Conti, La Romanée, La Tâche, Romanée-St-Vivant, Richebourg and La Grande Rue and home to some of the best domains including Domaine de la Romanée Conti. The Grand Cru’s of Grands Échézeaux and Échézeaux are located next door in Flagey Échézeaux. Nuits St Georges Home to one of our favourite producers – Nicolas Potel, there are no Grand Cru in the village of Nuits St Georges, but a host of very good Premier Cru. Côte de Beaune The following are the main villages in the Côte de Beaune; Aloxe-Corton Home to the Grand Cru – Corton, both red and white Corton can be produced. Red wine from Aloxe-Corton is one of the most powerful and tannic in the area and needs time to develop. Beaune This village is more known as the centre of Burgundy, where you’d likely stay when visiting the area, than for it’s wines. There are however some good Premier Crus in this area. Volnay As with Pommard, there are no Grand Cru, but a host of Premier Crus, the wines from Volnay are fragrant, elegant and age very well.
Côte de Beaune continued Pommard There are no Grand Cru in Pommard – although Grand Clos des Épenots would be a definite candidate if the Grand Cru classifications were ever reviewed; wines from this Premier Cru show finesse, character and the ability to age gracefully. Wines from Pommard definitely demand age, when young the tannins are very tight, as they age the power and richness in the wine develops. A few more related notes: • • • • •
•
Generic wines are labelled as Burgundy or Bourgogne. In total there are more than 400 Premier Crus vineyards in Burgundy. There are 32 Grand Crus Vineyards in total – 8 white Grand Crus, 24 red Grand Crus. Of these 24 are from the Côte de Nuits and 8 from the Côte de Beaune. The largest red Grand Cru in Burgundy is Corton, this Grand Cru represents about 25% of Grand Cru Red wines by volume. It’s very important to know your vintages when you purchase Burgundy. Alongside whether you are buying to cellar or to drink early. Recent vintages are fortunately all very smart, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015. Each though very different in style. Looking back further 2005, 2009 and 2010 all excellent. Unlike Bordeaux, it is more likely that Domaines change hands, personnel change and the quality can improve in a short period of time, so it’s often prudent to read as many reviews as possible to get a sense of the quality level they are producing in the current vintage.
Domaine Jean Chartron Established 1859 in Puligny by the cooper-craftsman, Jean-Edouard Dupard, the Domaine has been governed by our generations, focused on both the prosperity and the expansion of the prestigious vineyards. The village owes its name to Jean-Edouard Dupard, when in 1873 as mayor of Puligny, he asked the local council to authorise that the name Montrachet - the most prestigious local vineyard - be added to that of Puligny, the original name of the village. Jean-Rene Chartron, the 4th generation, is without doubt the one who brought the most to the Domaine, making wines of the highest quality. Today, it is his son, Jean-Michel Chartron, who holds the reins and is now taking it to even greater levels. These are exceptional white Burgundies.

The bouquet wafts from the glass in a mix of apple, pear, crème patissière, chalky minerality, apple blossoms and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and shows off outstanding mid-palate depth, with lovely structure and lift, bright acids and excellent length and nascent complexity on the very refined finish.

DOMAINE JEAN CHARTRON BOURGOGNE CHARDONNAY
2018
PRE ARRIVAL OFFER. DUE MAY 2021. Jean Chartron's Bourgogne is always a step above the rest and the 2018 is no different. Behind a color of white gold, we perceive typical fragrances of a young chardonnay, tiny white wallflowers. On the palate the richness of the fruit is present; the body is supported and balanced by the oak, with a pleasant finish.

You could nose this all day! The well-balanced palate displays fine poise and focus, offering veins of white peach intermixed with white chocolate and almond before the citrus core takes hold of the steering wheel on the finish. This is a multifaceted Chevalier-Montrachet that should give many years of drinking pleasure. Six barrels produced."

The refined bouquet reveals hints of almond and vanilla pod loitering in the background and allowing the terroir to speak. The palate is very nicely structured with superbly judged acidity, symmetry and poise. The almost Chevalier-Montrachet like finish is steely and long. Chapeau!"

The nose delivers a fine and youthful combination of white peach, apple, limestone soil tones, spring flowers and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is young, deep and nicely structured, with a good core, full-bodied format and excellent soil signature on the long, zesty and focused finish. This could use a year or two to blossom, but it will also be quite tasty right out of the blocks. (Drink between 2021-2045)."

The bouquet is pure and classic, delivering a fine aromatic constellation of apple, pear, chalky soil tones, crème patissière, lemon blossoms and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, crisp and shows off lovely mid-palate depth, with good acidity and mineral drive, fine focus and grip and a very long, nascently complex and energetic finish. This is first class juice. (Drink between 2024-2060). 93/100 | Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Medium to full-bodied, tensile and tightly wound, it needs some bottle age to bounce back from its recent bottling, but there's lots of potential here." 94/100 | Wine Enthusiast 93+/100 | John Gilman 93-93 / 100 | Vinous Media

DOMAINE JEAN CHARTRON PULIGNY-MONTRACHET 1ER CRU FOLATIÈRES
2018
PRE ARRIVAL OFFER. DUE MAY 2021. 92+ /100 |John Gilman: The 2018 Folatières from Domaine Chartron is very promising and was showing a nice sense of reserve out of the blocks that augurs very well for its future development. The bouquet is a classic and very precise blend of delicious apples, pears, pastry cream, complex, chalky soil tones, vanillin oak and a topnote of apple blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and complex, with a good core of fruit, bright acids, fine focus and grip and a long, poised and vibrant finish. This is very 1992-like in profile and depth of fruit. It will be accessible right out of the blocks, but I would opt to give it at least a few years in the cellar to let those secondary layers emerge. It is a very svelte example of Folatières.

Maturation on fine lees for minimum 12 months in barrel and after 4 months in tank. The brilliance of the wine is the balance of the perfume carried by oak flirting with rose buds. The front palate is full on, exploding with ripeness from the warm vintage then retightening on the finish with a fresh mineral finish.

DOMAINE JEAN CHARTON Puligny-Montrachet
Domaine Lamarche The family history in the village of Vosne-Romanée dates back to around 1740, and from the end of the 19th Century the estate has grown considerably. Henri Lamarche, a cooper, married Marie Grivelet from Chambolle-Musigny and founded the estate. From early in the 1700’s wines were produced by various members of the family off the prestigious terroirs of Vosne-Romanée and Vougeot, including from La Grande Rue, one of the rare Grand Crus of Vosne-Romanée. This vineyard has an incredible terroir, sitting in between La Tâche and Romanée-Conti itself. Today the estate is run by the sixth generation, Nicole and Nathalie, who have begun to transform the quality back to where it should be.

Matured in 15% new oak, it offers light red cherry and crushed strawberry scents that just need a little more intensity. The palate is well balanced with fleshy ripe red berries, well-judged acidity and a lilting finish that is just delicious."

This is a lovely example of the genre from the Hauts Côtes and worth checking out." Jasper Morris MW Inside Burgundy: "Lively cherry pink colour. The bouquet is leaner than for the regular Bourgogne, but the fruit packs a little more punch behind. Ripe redcurrant and fresh cherry aromatics, with enough weight of fruit through to the back."

DOMAINE LAMARCHE Vosne-Romanée
Domaine Parent The Parent family can trace their roots back to Etienne Parent. He established a professional and friendly relationship with Thomas Jefferson in 1787 as his Burgundy wine advisor. The Parent family have been a permanent fixture in Pommard since this time, with the sixth generation, sisters Anne and Catherine now in charge. Their brother Francois works with his wife at their Domaine A.F Gros. Since 1998 Anne has modified her approach to the wines, 100% destemming, hand picking and using three sorting tables. The story here is a little like that of Domaine Lamarche, where the quality has soared in recent years.

The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins framing the sappy red fruit. There is good density here, more so than in Parent’s other Premier Crus.

Domaine Tortochot Domaine Tortochot is a lovely property in Gevrey, rejuvenated by Chantal Tortochot, who took over the estate from her father in the late 1990’s. The family have been in Gevrey for many generations, but it was not until Chantal took over that the wines really began to show their potential. She is a skilled winemaker, producing wines that beautifully represent the terroir while still being accessible and fruit driven. The quality gets better with every vintage. Definitely a producer to start following. We are lucky enough to have allocations of the jewels in their range: Lavaux St-Jacques, Champeaux, and Chambertin itself.

DOMAINE TORTOCHOT Gevrey-Chambertin
Domaine Bonneau du Martray Bonneau du Martray had been run since 1993 by Jean Charles de la Morinière, an architect who returned to the 11-hectare family property to manage it, fine-tuning the estate that his father originally brought back to life. In 2017 the Domaine was acquired by Stanley Kroenke, a US businessman who owns a number of excellent properties, particularly Screaming Eagle. The core technical team remains unchanged. The vineyard is on the side of the great Corton Hill, near Pernand, and while it is one continuous site, the parcels of grapes are treated separately in the winery to maintain their individual characteristics before combining as one great wine. Maturation is 33% in new oak for 12 months; the wine is blended and then assembled for a further six months of oak maturation. In 2018 it was announced that 2.8 of the estate’s 9.5 hectares will be leased to Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. From the 2019 vintage this will see a reduction in wine produced by Bonneau du Martray of 25-30%.

PRE ARRIVAL OFFER - DUE JUNE 2021 94/100 | William Kelley - The Wine Advocate: "Revisited from bottle, the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has turned out very well indeed, unwinding in the glass with notes of crisp orchard fruit, fresh bread, orange oil and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, layered and elegantly satiny, it's deep and saline, concluding with fine grip on the finish. In this charming, demonstrative vintage, Bonneau du Martray has succeeded in producing a serious, age-worthy wine."

Domaine Michel Gros The Gros family’s winemaking dynasty began in 1830 when 26-year-old Alphonse Gros set up in the famous Burgundian commune of Vosne-Romanée. Six generations on, the properties have been divided up amongst family members, and there are now four separate Gros domaines. Today Michel Gros heads up his own, consisting of his Clos des Réas (Premier Cru) property, along with excellent parcels in Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny and the Bourgogne appellations. The vineyards are meticulously managed on a low-yield regime, with all fruit hand harvested and traditionally fermented using cultured yeasts, which Michel believes provide greater finesse. His attention to detail has been rewarded with numerous accolades, including Best Winemaker and Best Pinot Noir at London’s famed International Wine Challenge, two years in a row.

Allen Meadows: "An attractively fresh and bright nose offers up notes of pretty red fruits, especially red cherry and raspberry, along with soft wood and earth influences. There is good volume and richness to the nicely vibrant flavors that possess a lovely mid-palate texture that contrasts somewhat with the moderately rustic and ever-so-mildly drying finale."

Excellent potential." 89-91 /100 | Jasper Morris MW Inside Burgundy: "This comes mostly from Les Argillières next to Musigny but also from three plots lower down. It has a denser, deeper colour than the VosneRomanée. There is significant weight of powerful ripe fruit, but the tannins are less ripe."

Chardonnay crafted by Michel Gros from a parcel he has had his eyes on for years, sensing its singular and qualitative expression. Allen Meadows: "However, there is good freshness and richness to the caressing and solidly concentrated middle weight flavors that are perhaps a bit less mineral-driven than usual on the generously proportioned and reasonably refreshing finish." Sarah Marsh MW: "Lemony, seductive, touch of crystallised fruit. Savoury on the finish. A good balance."

PRE ARRIVAL OFFER. DUE MAY 2021. A new single vineyard wine from a special Monopole vineyard of Michel Gros. It is wines like this from the 2018 vintage that represent sensational buying. Bill Nanson: "Deeper coloured – more the 2018 vernacular of colour here. Directly, this is an impressive nose of darker fruit and much floral complexity. More structural in shape, the fruit favours are higher-toned, darker and floral inflected. There’s a little youth to this wine – it will certainly be better with a little patience but this is already a great drink for a Bourgogne – fresh, complex and deliciously flavoured – a great, open, florality in the finish too. Bravo!"

DOMAINE TORTOCHOT Gevrey-Chambertin
Domaine Gros Frère et Soeur Bernard Gros, whose vineyards and cellar back onto Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, produces his wines in a similar style to Michel, but very different terroir in his vineyards results in wines with more power than his brother. His quality begins with the fact he owns top quality parcels in each appellation. His Clos Vougeot-Musigni for example, is at the premier top of the cru just beneath the slope of Musigny, hence the name. One of the more conscientious producers, Bernard strictly limits his yields for the depth and concentration of fruit he seeks, and the wines are only lightly fined, never filtered. Gros Frère wines are deep and dark and whilst known for their expressive aromatics, their bigger structure and back bone means they definitely demand time in the bottle.

2018 BURGUNDY INSTOCK NOW The wines on the following pages are from the 2018 vintage in Burgundy and are instock now.
Domaine Laroche The Laroche family have produced wine in Chablis since 1850. Yikes. How does one not fall asleep at the wheel? They don’t, though. For five generations, the family has been dedicated to producing top quality wines from this famed appellation, where a unique mix of limestone, clay and shell, a relatively northerly climate and the Chardonnay grape all combine to produce a style of wine like no other. The steely, floral bouquet, delicately crisp, refined flavours and unmistakable underlying flintiness are indelibly characteristic of their terroir. Here, Chardonnay reigns supreme, and under the guidance of Michel Laroche, the Domaine have expanded from a mere six hectares in the 1960’s to the current 130 hectares of prime Chablis vineyard, in the process forging a masterful reputation for Chablisean excellence. Here, once again, it’s all about terroir, with Michel Laroche summing it up succinctly: ‘To produce the best Chablis, you need to produce the best grapes.’

Domaine Romanin Domaine Romanin is located in Burgundy in the village of Fuissé, right at the heart of the famous vineyards of Pouilly-Fuissé, where the domaine’s Vervier Family are now into their fifth generation of winegrowing. Unsurprisingly, tradition plays a key part in Denis Vervier’s vinous strategies as he goes about crafting his exemplary and authentic expressions, with sustainable viticulture, manual harvesting, time-tested cellar techniques and scrupulous attention to detail all key components. The vines are between 30 and 70 years old and enjoy a south/south-eastern exposure that is highly conducive to ripening, with the clay and limestone soils typical of the region bestowing their own unique characteristics on the Chardonnay fruit via fruity and floral nuances. There is, particularly with the blended Pouilly-Fuissés, a skill in the assemblage that sets this area of Burgundy apart.

A smart blend of power and sensitivity, poised minerality and hedonistic honeysuckle, fruit and cream.

Domaine de Bellene Most of us have grown to accept that the nomenclature of Burgundy wines can be confusing, but when you discover that the wines of Maison de Nicolas Potel now have nothing to do with the maverick man himself, that he now has his own estate, Domaine de Bellene - located in a 15th-Century abbey in Beaune - you can do an eye roll worthy of the French themselves. The untimely death of his revered father Gerard, and difficult financial dealings under his own name, saw the young and dynamic artisan launch Domaine de Bellene. Nicolas has converted his growers to organic practices, and adhering religiously to his philosophy, Domaine de Bellene is 100% Organic, Carbon Neutral and uses donkeys and horses for all vineyard work. Nicolas Potel has gone from strength to strength, establishing himself as one of Burgundy’s top ‘new breed’ winemakers.
