2023 Futures

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...

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

François Labet, owner of Château de la Tour in Vougeot, manages the family estate (10 ha in Beaune and Gevrey) with equal talent. He applies the same quality principles: organic farming, non-éraflée harvesting, long ageing (two winters minimum). Far from being the most talked-about domaine, but a wise choice for connoisseurs, according to Bourgogne Aujourd'hui: "to be seized as a matter of urgency, as the quality of the wines has been so consistent for a very long time".

Owning the largest parcel (6 ha) of Clos Vougeot and the only producer vinifying and maturing its wines within the Clos, Château de la Tour is the custodian of the Clos Vougeot tradition. Always vinified unstemmed, its wines are powerful (certified organic from the 2021 vintage), structured and long-lasting.

A grand cru with an almost monopoly, Clos des Lambrays is one of the best exposed terroirs on the Côte de Nuits, combining the power of a Chambertin with the velvety character of a Bonnes-Mares. Bought in 2014 by L.V.M.H. and still rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

Exceptional terroir of 4 hectares on a south-facing slope (like Pavie) at the entrance to the village of Saint-Émilion. Taken over in 2014 by the Vauthier family (Ausone), who is committed to highlighting the deep, juicy flesh of her grapes, with a confounding naturalness and a splendid aromatic radiance. La Clotte has everything it takes to quickly become one of the most cult wines of the appellation.

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).

With a higher proportion of Merlot (60%), La Dame de Montrose offers a fruity, fleshy version of Saint-Estèphe, without losing the richness and power for which the Grand Vin is renowned. Another expression of terroir, in a seductive style all its own.

Vieux Château Certan is one (the last?) of the very few Bordeaux grands crus where the owners, Alexandre Thienpont and his son Guillaume since 2011, are still the only cellar masters on board. Thanks to its Cabernet Franc (30% on average), Vieux-Certan offers a firm, distinguished and refined version of Pomerol, closer to Lafleur than Petrus. Its 2022 vintage has been showered with praise, as in Vinous, where the two tasters (Galloni and Martin) each rated it 100/100.
