This small estate, well known to the initiated, shines at the top of the Champagne hierarchy. Coming from a 31 ha vineyard, its cuvées render with finesse and purity the potential of their respective terroirs. Coming from 3 grands crus and 2 premiers crus, elaborated only from the first press juices, vinified in tuns, unfiltered and hardly dosed, the 700 cuvées are great Champagne wines offering a remarkable ageing potential. The number corresponds to the vintage on the basis of which the cuvée is elaborated: 743 = 2015, 744 = 2016, 745 = 2017, 746 = 2018..., completed with some reserve wines.

Since January 2023, the Maison Jacquesson belongs to Mr. Pinault (Latour in Bordeaux, Clos de Tart in Burgundy, Château-Grillet in the Rhône, etc.).

Maison Roederer has been regaining its lustre since 2010, under the guidance of its excellent cellar master Mr. Lecaillon, who is convinced of permaculture and agroforestry and who in 2018 put half (120 ha) of the vineyard in organic conversion. The style of the House is now oriented towards straightness and salinity, refined and uncluttered wines.

The range begins with the Collection cuvée (previously named Brut Premier), judiciously vinous and as much an aperitif champagne as a meal champagne. Unable to vintage it (to be vintage, a wine must contain at least 85% of the vintage), Roederer chose, like Jacquesson, to number it. Thus, Collection n°243 is built around the 2018 harvest (for 59%), assembled with 41% reserve wines from the 2009 to 2017 vintages.

Then come three vintages Brut, Rosé and Blanc de Blancs (currently in the elegant and great year 2014) to conclude with Cristal their world famous flagship cuvée. Brut Nature is a new transversal cuvée, only produced in 2006, 2009 and now 2012, where purity (zero dosage) and generosity (pinot noir dominant) are the key words.

On a gravelly soil renowned for its whites, Camus vinifies a small production with a Semillon majority (60%, with 40% Sauvignon), grown in vats. A beautiful white Graves, of good volume, expressive, really very pleasant.

The most mythical vintage of Bordeaux, among all! Already, in 1855, it was the only cru to be recognized as a premier cru classé supérieur, placing it above the red premiers crus classés.

A family property reawakened in 2011 by the arrival of the son Paul Garcin, a former rock musician on the Bordeaux scene. Instant passage in organic and biodynamic culture, wines of artist, intuitive, immediately sapid, tasty and with the strong note pleasure.

Voluntarily iconoclastic, Paul Garcin wants to offer Haut-Bergey under different facets:

- Haut-Bergey 'classic', vinified and matured in the tradition of the great Bordeaux wines, in white as in red.

- Haut-Bergey Cuvée Paul, elaborated according to more contemporary practices: vinification partly in whole bunches, maturing almost without wood (concrete egg, amphora and half-muid)...

- micro-cuvées (Tuilerie and Jardin, named after their respective plots) to isolate and express the flavors of a grape variety and a unique terroir.

This approach was praised by the Revue du Vin de France's 2023 guide, which awarded Haut-Bergey its first star: "Modernity of vision and the ability to reinvent itself without betraying its identity: Haut-Bergey symbolizes the current vitality of the most historic of Bordeaux's vineyards".

Cuvée Paul is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

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...).

Pierre Labet, owner of Château de la Tour, manages the family estate with equal talent.

In 1997, inspired by the principles of biodynamic viticulture and with a superb plant heritage on the best vineyards of Volnay and Pommard, Nicolas Rossignol began to produce sensitive, pure and slender wines in the great Burgundian style, but with a touch of modernity that gives them depth, grace and seduction. Rich and tasty, his wines win everyone's approval, starting with those of Mr. Bettane: "Nicolas Rossignol is certainly one of the most promising talents of his generation in the Côte de Beaune. We are approaching the quintessence of the Côte de Beaune".

It is in Bouzeron (the first village in the south of the Côte de Beaune) that Aubert de Villaine, emblematic co-owner and manager of La Romanée-Conti, lives and works as a winegrower in his estate acquired in 1971. Assisted since 2003 by his nephew Pierre de Benoist, he practices the same high-flying viticulture as at La Romanée-Conti, combining tradition, openness, purity, rigour and organic farming (since 1986).

Domain rated one star in the 2020 Revue du Vin de France guide.

Bouzeron, 100% golden aligoté, carries high the values of this particularly underestimated grape variety.

Away from fashion and the media, the Brunel family has been producing eminently traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines since the 17th century, but above all they are elegant and fresh. The vineyard (21 ha) covers about ten districts from the north to the south of the appellation, mixing rolled pebbles, sand and clay. Combining old practices (no chemical inputs) and modern achievements (permanent grassing, wood-free maturation except for the Syrah), their wines have an almost Burgundian profile, with a long and superbly fruity finish. Rated two stars in the Revue du Vin de France 2023 guide.

The white Châteauneuf, 80% Roussanne, is pure, sappy and complex with a beautiful, salivating energy.

The red Châteauneuf, 70% grenache, is the opposite of the demonstrative and warm Châteauneuf, displaying a remarkable race and finesse that make us forget its richness.

The Cuvée Centenaire, 85% very old vines (over 120 years) of grenache, is produced in the greatest vintages (2010, 2015, 2016, 2019 ...). Wine of very high quality, impressive accuracy and balance, gone to defy the time. Immensely successful in export, the most affordable of the exceptional Chateauneuf cuvées (Rayas, Hommage de Beaucastel, Da Capo de Pegaü...).

Since 2019, Jeanne Germain has been following in her father's footsteps, producing a micro-cuvée of 'natural' Cabernet Franc: working the soil with animal traction, organic and biodynamic vineyard management, gentle extractions and no added sulfur. A crisp wine, "with serene and sincere fruit and a delightful finish" for the Revue du Vin de France.

Quietly since his arrival at the head of the 11 ha of the family estate in the 90s, Vincent Gaudry has traced his path in search of the most precise and distinctive aromatic expressions of the grape variety and the terroir. His whites, with their aniseed tones (fennel), are vibrant and stimulating, while his reds have a delicate fullness that makes them noble. Radiant wines that do not give in to the fashion of modern Sancerre, too exotic and plump to be sincere.

Rated one star in the Revue du Vin de France's 2023 guide.

The entry-level Le Tournebride is a blend of 3 parcels of flint, clay-limestone and caillottes (limestone chips). Mélodie de Vieilles Vignes, fatter and richer, comes from a clay-limestone hillside while Constellation du Scorpion, more complex and marked by flint, has a tense, long and salivating finish.
