Like Pétrus, Le Pin is 100% Merlot. But if Pétrus has adopted a more classic style in recent years, Le Pin remains a hedonistic wine, often exuberant, sometimes even exotic. And unlike Pétrus, Le Pin is much rarer (500 cases per year).

Following the sharing of the Pierre Amiot estate with his brother Jean-Louis in 2020, Didier Amiot created his own 3.2 hectare estate in Gevrey, Morey and Chambolle, which he immediately put into organic conversion (certification expected in 2023).

Didier Amiot 's guiding principle is to produce wines that are always seductive, spontaneously fruity, fleshy and silky-textured. This contract will be perfectly fulfilled in 2021 with his second vintage.

If the Georges Roumier estate is one of the best known in the Côte de Nuits, the Laurent Roumier estate shines on the contrary by its discretion. However, Laurent Roumier is one of Georges' grandsons, at the head of a beautiful wine-growing heritage, 12 ha of old vines (40 years old) almost exclusively on Chambolle-Musigny, run without fertilizer or weed killer. His wines know how to be greedy while remaining fine and distinguished, with a skillfully dosed breeding. Most reasonable prices (for the appellation).

In 2010, the arrival of Lauriane André (Françoise's daughter-in-law) breathed new life into the family estate: 7.5 hectares around the famous Corton hill. This young winemaker had very clear ideas: conversion to biodynamic viticulture(acquired in 2012), limited yields, careful sorting of grapes, no yeasting, moderate use of new barrels (30% maximum). The results are already there, with the magazine Bourgogne Aujourd'hui nominating her as one of the 5 hopefuls of 2013, stating that " her wines are already among the best that the Côte de Beaune has to offer ". It has to be said that her role models are Patrick Bize and Jean-François Coche-Dury...

Well done! Lauriane André was named Burgundy Winemaker of the Year in the 2023 Hachette guide: " Domaine Françoise André has established itself as an essential Côte de Beaune signature ".

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). Thank you to Mr. de Villaine for defending with the same passion the elite Burgundy and the artisan Burgundy. Domain rated one star in the 2020 Revue du Vin de France guide.

C'est William Trouillet (5ème génération) qui gère aujourd'hui le domaine familial de 19,5 ha, réparti sur les meilleures appellations du mâconnais : Mâcon-Solutré, Pouilly-Fuissé, Pouilly Loché, Pouilly Vinzelles et Saint-Véran. Avec comme ligne directrice la volonté de produire de grands blancs à la minéralité affirmée mais toujours lovés dans une chair ample et dense. Des vins généreux et immédiatement séducteurs, au rapport qualité/prix/plaisir garanti !

Cette cuvée s'appelle Nord-Sud car provenant de deux parcelles, une au nord et l'autre au sud de Saint-Véran.

William Trouillet (5th generation) now manages the 19.5 hectare family estate, spread over the best Mâconnais appellations: Mâcon-Solutré, Pouilly-Fuissé, Pouilly Loché, Pouilly Vinzelles and Saint-Véran. Our guiding principle is to produce great whites with a pronounced minerality, but always with a full, dense body. Generous, immediately seductive wines, with guaranteed value for money and pleasure!

The Vieilles Vignes cuvée is a blend of vines aged between 40 and 60 years on clay-limestone soils (Solutré-Pouilly).

The 1er cru Aux Chailloux is the estate's flagship cuvée, their fattest and richest wine because it comes from deep marl and clay soils.

Since 1994, Michel Tardieu has been selecting and growing wines from very old vines and from the best terroirs of each appellation. Associated until 2007 with Dominique Laurent, known for the concentration of his Burgundy wines, Michel Tardieu has, because of the innate richness of the Rhone Valley wines, always sought to favour elegance and aromatic complexity in his selections.

Promoted two stars in the 2022 Revue du Vin de France guide.

This Saint-Joseph Vieilles Vignes is a perfect balance between the gourmet raspberry/cherry fruit (as in Hermitage) and the mineral tension of the schist and granite subsoil (as in Cornas). Syrah and serine (small syrah), aged 60 and over 100 years respectively.

A new cuvée created in 2017, a Côte-Rôtie Vieilles Vignes from the heart of the hillside on the major terroirs of the Côte Brune. Phenomenal concentration, energetic tannin, a compact but refined wine, to wait at least 10 years before considering tasting.

Built like a "small" Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this Gigondas is just as velvety, just as fruity, but slightly softer. Very strong majority of grenache (vines aged from 60 to more than 100 years), completed with syrah and mourvèdre.

This old estate (14th century) of Châteauneuf-du-Pape was bought in 2006 by Mr. Cazes (Lynch-Bages, Haut-Batailley, Ormes de Pez...). With 25 hectares (60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre), in two excellent sectors (La Nerthe and Rayas), and by voluntarily limiting the yields to 30hl/ha, Mr. Cazes strives to produce only one vintage in red as well as in white, Châteauneufs that are accessible both on the gustatory and financial levels.

The white is fine, airy, without excess generosity, with a beautiful energy brought by the clairette (30%). The red is a classic Châteauneuf, refined and silky, also focusing more on finesse and aromatic intensity than on power, in the spirit of Rayas.

With 7 hectares spread over 28 plots held like gardens, Guillaume Sorbe is an outstanding goldsmith. On its two appellations Quincy and Reuilly in the Cher valley, it chisels fantastic wines, white (sauvignon) and red (pinot noir), esthetic wines that are both tasty and mineral, fat and tense. His excellence is already recognized: "Winemaker of the year 2018" for the Revue du Vin de France, and cited in the Top 10 of the best producers in the Bettane&Desseauve 2019 guide. Rated one star in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

In order to avoid the regulatory constraints of the INAO, Guillaume Sorbe now prefers to label his wines under the generic name "Vin de France". This does not change anything about their origin or their quality. The comment of the Revue du Vin France  is eloquent: "No wine in the sector reaches this level of precision and substance. They are among the most ambitious whites in the Loire Valley."

Odyssée: Magnificent Pinot de Loire, with a refined, airy, finely fruity, delicate style.

The Barmès children, Maxime and Sophie, have taken up with application and conviction the work initiated by their father (who died accidentally in 2011): organic (certified since 2001) and biodynamic farming, manual work as much as possible, no additives (neither yeast, nor chaptalization, nor fining) other than sulphur in minimal quantities. A single priority: to obtain the best climatic and geological expression of each of the 7 parcels of the estate (4 "villages" and 3 grands crus). Their Rieslings, with great ageing potential, are absolutely exemplary.

Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

Produced from vines 35-40 years old (Réserve) and over 50 years old (Hengst), these are Pinot Noirs of great stature, capable of competing with the Burgundy Pinots, the Volnay version for the Réserve and the Gevrey version for the Hengst.

The estate is as traditional (confiscated from the Carthusian monks during the Revolution and sold as 'national property' to the Pignier family in 1794) as it is avant-garde (biodynamic cultivation since 1998, Demeter certification since 2003). The vineyard (14 hectares in the commune of Montaigu) stretches over clay, limestone and marl soils, planted with red grape varieties (mainly Trousseau and a little Poulsard) on the southern exposures, and white grape varieties (Chardonnay and Gamay Blanc) on the north/north-east exposures. The entire range is a perfect expression of the purity, spontaneity and authenticity that are the hallmarks of Jura wines. Rated two stars in the Revue du Vin de France's 2024 guide.

The Gamay blanc, an old strain of Chardonnay, is matured for 18 months in barrels, with regular topping up for more fruit and freshness.
