The amateur looking for fine and easily digestible classified great wines should be interested in Fonroque. In organic cultivation since 2006 and biodynamic cultivation since 2008, Fonroque offers an original vision of the terroir of the Saint-Émilion plateau, made of freshness, elegance, controlled and melting power. Alain Moueix, its owner, clearly shows the way forward for the future of the great wines of Bordeaux, all shores combined.

Both the 2019 and 2020 vintages were rated 94/100 by the Revue du Vin de France.

An oenologist by training, Ms. Papon-Nouvel owns two tiny properties at the bottom of Saint-Émilion near Canon-La Gaffelière: Petit Gravet Aîné (2.4 ha) and Clos Saint-Julien (1.3 ha), where the vines are mainly old cabernets francs. From the vine to the cellar, she manages all the stages in the production of her wines on her own and, whatever the vintage, her talent as an instinctive winemaker gives wines of natural elegance and exemplary sweetness.

Mrs Papon-Nouvel's other grand cru (with Petit Gravet Aîné). Same organic culture, same sensitivity, same style, with extra flesh and depth. Great wine! Great wine, logically promoted to grand cru classé in 2022.

Become a first grand cru classé in 2012, just reward for 20 years of effort by Mr. Neipperg (Canon-La Gaffelière, Clos de l'Oratoire) on this small vineyard of 4.5 ha adjoining Troplong-Mondot. A very large Saint-Émilion, fleshy, intense and penetrating, but with a confidential production.

Isabelle and Denis Pommier started in 1990 with only 2 ha. They have made gradual progress, both in the constitution of their vineyards (now 16 ha) and in their cultivation practices (tillage, disbudding, certified organic from the 2014 vintage). Their wines, vinified and aged for a long time in oak barrels for Croix aux Moines and the 1st crus, have a richness and amplitude that contrast with the usual extreme vivacity of the Chablis.

Quoted in the guide of the Revue du Vin de France.

The April 2021 frosts were dramatic in Chablis: the 2021 Domaine Pommier harvest is barely a quarter of a normal harvest.

Frédéric Magnien (Michel's son) is part of this new generation of winemakers who have awakened their family estate. Since 2015 (conversion to organic and biodynamic, abandonment of new barrels and introduction of earthenware jars in the maturing process...), the wines of the estate have progressed magnificently in charm, precision and aromatic finesse. This without losing the color and richness that are the customary signature of the wines of the domain. It is rated one star in the Revue du Vin de France's 2023 guide, but it seems to us that it should not be long before it is upgraded.

Located on the northern part of the Côte de Nuits, the Michel Magnien estate is at the head of an exceptional patrimony, 18 ha divided into 23 parcels on the very best climates of Gevrey (Charmes-Chambertin, Cazetiers...), Morey (Clos Saint-Denis, Clos de la Roche...) and Chambolle (Sentiers...).

Owned by AXA Millésimes since 1987, Domaine de l'Arlot covers 15 hectares spread over Nuits-Saint-Georges (Prémeaux) and Vosne-Romanée. Domain of excellence producing precise and refined whites, perhaps the most intense on the Côte de Nuits. Domain rated two stars in the 2019 Revue du Vin de France guide.

Owned by AXA Millésimes since 1987, Domaine de l'Arlot covers 15 hectares spread over Nuits-Saint-Georges (Prémeaux) and Vosne-Romanée. A domain of excellence producing dense reds but on chiselled structures, wines that are both fleshy and delicate at the same time. Promoted three stars in the 2020 Revue du Vin de France guide.

In 2010, the arrival of Lauriane André (Françoise's daughter-in-law) gave a new impetus to the family estate: 7.5 ha around the famous hill of Corton. This young winemaker had very clear ideas: conversion to biodynamic viticulture (acquired in 2012), limitation of yields, careful sorting of grapes, no yeasting, moderate use of new barrels (30% maximum). The results are already there, the magazine Bourgogne Aujourd'hui having nominated her among the 5 hopefuls of the year 2013, stating "her wines are already among the best that the Côte de Beaune can give". It must be said that her models are Patrick Bize and Jean-François Coche-Dury...

Bravo ! Domaine André has successively obtained two "coups de coeur" in the Hachette guide for its 2018 (Beaune Bélissand white and Corton-Charlemagne white) and again for its 2019 (Corton-Charlemagne white and Corton Renardes red). This performance earned her the title of Burgundy Winemaker of the Year in the 2023 Hachette guide.
