In 2004, Jean-Michel Chartron gave new impetus to the family domaine, blessed with an extraordinary land heritage (Clos des Chevaliers is the best part of Chevalier-Montrachet, itself considered the best climat in Puligny after Montrachet). The estate's 14.5 hectares have been farmed organically (without certification) ever since.
Mineral, nervous, powerful and long, with a crystalline purity, its wines are among Puligny's finest.
Vinous (N. Martin): 93-95/100 "The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet Clos du Cailleret 1er Cru has a little more precision and detail compared to the Clos du Cailleret this year. Touches of Conference pear and orange pith and a hint of candle wax on the nose. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, quite dainty and elegant yet there is real cohesion and precision towards the finish. This is very classy."

Bourgogne Aujourd’hui (August–September 2025): 89/100 “Made from 60-year-old vines, this cuvée reveals delicate, lemony and floral aromas... The wine has body, fleshiness, flavours of ripe fruit and a lovely length. Promising!”
Vinous (N. Martin): 92-94/100 "The 2024 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comprises four barrels this year. Harvested a little later, it has a touch more tropical tones on the nose yet there is still admirable mineralité and tension. The palate is vibrant on the entry, quite strict and linear, more malic on the palate than on the nose with a dash of spice that comes through on the finish. Good potential, though in some ways quite uncompromising."

Bourgogne Aujourd’hui (August–September 2025): 92/100 "The estate cultivates 75-year-old vines in the Chevalier. Elegant aromas, at once mineral, ‘stony’ and sunny, with notes of candied lemon and bergamot... The wine is complex, fresh, full-bodied, long, dense, taut and harmonious. Great potential!”
Vinous (N. Martin): 95-97/100 "Harvested on 15 September, the 2024 Chevalier-Montrachet Clos de Chevaliers Grand Cru has a fragrant bouquet with citrus fruit, hints of fern and fennel, crushed stone surfacing with aeration. Impressive delineation here. The palate is very well balanced with spot-on acidity, bright and vivacious, though very complex with a mineral-driven finish that is top notch. Certainly this is as good as the 2023. Excellent."
A leader in the Marsannay appellation, the Domaine Fournier offers wine lovers a rare opportunity to purchase fine Pinot Noir wines from the northern Côte de Nuits at reasonable prices. With 21 hectares, including 17 hectares in Marsannay, this estate produces exciting wines with deep colour, full-bodied and intense, always balancing richness and freshness, indulgence and finesse.
Awarded one star in the Revue du Vin de France guide and listed among the properties to watch in the Bettane & Desseauve guide: ‘Laurent Fournier, with his humour, intelligence and delicacy, is one of the most brilliant talents of the new Burgundian generation.’
Vinous (N. Martin): 87-89/100 "The 2024 Bourgogne Aligoté Cuvée Saint-Urbain contains fruit from Aux Boutières this year [0.8-acre vineyard in Marsannay] this year, matured in stainless steel. This has a vigorous nose with touches of yellow plum, pithy pear and honeysuckle scents. Fine delineation. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bread of acidity, taut and linear, perhaps just missing a bit of chutzpah on the finish but it is a decent Aligoté that will give four or five year's drinking pleasure."
As a major player in the Marsannay appellation, Domaine Fournier gives wine lovers the rare opportunity to acquire great Pinots from the northern part of the Côte de Nuits at a reasonable price. With 21 hectares, 17 of which are in Marsannay, this estate produces enthusiastic, deep-coloured, fleshy and intense wines, always on the edge between richness and freshness, delicacy and finesse.

Located on a steep hillside with high limestone content, Clos du Roy possesses a mineral and salty character that unfolds over time.
Vinous (N. Martin): 88-90/100 "The 2024 Marsannay Clos du Roy offers pretty red fruit commingly with orange pith and light leafy aromas. It just needs a little more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded, quite supple tannins. Not as complex as the previous couple of vintages but cohesive with freshness ans tension on the finish. Enjoy this over several years."

Les Longeroies constitutes the DNA of Domaine Fournier, as this climat accounts for more than a quarter of its vineyards.
Vinous (N. Martin): 85-87/100 "The 2024 Marsannay Les Longeroies has a much lighter and airier bouquet than previous vintage, bright red fruit that is well defined albeit missing the same level of complexity. The palate is well balanced with light tannins and fine acidity but the finish feels a bit diminished by the traumatic growing season and lacks some energy. Maybe it was suffering on the day of my visit?"
Bourgogne Aujourd'hui : 94/100 "Deep colour. A complex, intense nose of sweet black fruit, with elegant floral notes and a hint of mocha. On the palate, it is full-bodied and opens with a delicious fruitiness. The tannins give the wine a rounded, delicate structure right through to the finish."

Trois Terres is a selection of old vines from its three best parcels in Marsannay: Es Chezots, Longeroies and Clos du Roy (all candidates for future 1er cru status).
Vinous (N. Martin): 91-93/100 "The 2024 Marsannay Trois Terres Vieilles Vignes has a cohesive and focused bouquet, pure red berry fruit, wild hedgerw and light violet scents that blossom in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very elegant and pure, demonstrating more minéralité and tension than Fournier's other red cuvées. Bon vin."

Vinous (N. Martin): 88-90/100 "The 2024 Fixin Village is blended with the Croix Violette this year. It has a light bouquet, a little more tetiairy in style, perhaps a little discombobulated by the previous week's raking. The palate is well balanced with a powdery-textured entry. I appreciate the fruit profile: strawberry and red cherries, bright and perky on the finish. This should end up being a fine Fixin."

Vinous (N. Martin): 89-91/100 "The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a pretty nose with wild strawberry and cranberry (again) and light rose petal scents in the background, well defined. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, fresh and vibrant, quite poised with impressive mineralité for a Gevrey-Village on the finish. Worth seeking out, this punches above its weight."
Cyprien Arlaud has awakened this beautiful family estate of 15 hectares between Gevrey, Morey and Chambolle. Its wines, biodynamic since 2010, complete and delicious, have a frankness, a voluptuousness of texture and a rare aromatic elegance. The most recent vintages attest to remarkable progress, this domain clearly aims for excellence. Rated two stars in the guide of La Revue du Vin de France.
La Revue du Vin de France: 91/100 “A very precise, lively, and easy-to-drink medium-bodied wine, with great freshness and pinpoint precision.”
Vinous (N. Martin): 95-87/100 "The 2024 Bourgogne Roncevie was showing just a little reduction on the nose, though you could still discern the dark berry fruit underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with a little chewiness on the entry, but I appreciate the acidity in this regional red and though it scarpers out the exit door with speed, there is sufficient energy to keep your attention."

La Revue du Vin de France: 91+/100 “Still showing some reduction, this slightly austere and tight Gevrey needs time to age. Today, it is showing its structure, with austerity but depth.”
Vinous (N. Martin): 87-89/100 "The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin Village was showing quite a lot of reduction as it is due for racking. The palate is medium-bodied with finer tannins than the Chambolle but with linearity and strictness of the Morey-Village. Again, it just needs a bit more weight and fruité at the back end and maybe the second winter in barrel will give that."

Vinous (N. Martin): 90-92/100 "The 2024 Morey-Saint-Denis Aux Chesaux 1er Cru was showing a bit of reduction on the nose despite rigorous coaxing. The palate is medium-bodied and here you can see the potential with a fine lattice of tannins, more marine influence with a grippy finish. Time will shave its edges so keep this in bottle for three or four years if you can."

Vinous (N. Martin): 88-90/100 "The 2024 Chambolle-Musigny Les Noirots 1er Cru has a more tertiary nose with dark berry fruit, graphite and loam. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins, pretty red berry fruit with gentle grip towards the finish that feels a bit under-nourished compared to Arlaud's other cuvées at the moment."

La Revue du Vin de France: 96/100 “A fresh, light nose reminiscent of red berries with a peppery note. Quite vigorous, lively and unadorned, the palate asserts its integrity and finishes with subtle, very persistent hints of licorice.”
Vinous (N. Martin): 92-94/100 "The 2024 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru was blended with around 30% whole bunch. This is quite fragrant and floral on the nose—some similitude to an Echézeaux, just a hint of undergrowth behind the red fruit, very commendable in terms of purity. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy strawberry and cranberry, a fine bead of acidity, quite taut and focused with a twist of black pepper on the more Mazoyères-like finish. Good backbone—it will need three or four years to shave its edges."

La Revue du Vin de France: 97+/100 “Great delicacy on the nose: lilac, violet, sandalwood. Lively, built around a backbone of finely crafted tannins, this bright and intense red has magnificent length.”
Vinous (N. Martin): 93-95/100 "The 2024 Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru takes time to open in the glass, more so than Arlaud's other Grand Crus, revealing brambly red berry fruit, white pepper and light tobacco scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a crisp line of acidity, a tingle of spice with decent weight and depth on the finish. Not quite as complex as the previous couple of vintages but this will certainly have ageing potential."
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.
Rated two stars in the Revue du Vin de France annual guide.
Vinous (N. Martin): 88-90/100 "The 2024 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Cuvée Classique, picked from September 17, comes from separately vinified parcels within the famous walled vineyard. Including 15% whole bunch, this has an open bouquet with dark berry fruit, used tea leaves and subtle estuarine scents that percolate through with time. The palate is showing just a touch of volatility, but not excessive, quite lively on the finish but without the weight and grip of previous vintages."

Vinous (N. Martin): 90-92/100 "The 2024 Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru, the older vines suffering as much as the younger though benefitting slightly from its location on a slope, has a little more presence and lift compared to the Cuvée Classique, a little more floral in style. The palate is medium-bodied with finely hewn tannins, a keen line of acidity, slightly edgy towards the finish that has plenty of freshness. This will be thoroughly enjoyable over the next decade."
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".
Vinous (N. Martin): 85-87/100 "The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes has a light and slightly tertiary bouquet with brambly red berry fruit and a touch of rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with a sharp entry, nicely balanced but just missing some flesh and substance towards the finish. At the moment this is lagging behind the other cuvées."
With 10 ha in the combe of Pernand-Vergelesses, Domaine Pavelot present the best facet of Burgundy: organic viticulture thought out in the respect of the viticultural tradition (manual harvest in wicker baskets, natural yeasts, vinification 30% to 50% in whole bunches, etc. ) with the tools and achievements of today's oenology (sorting on a vibrating table, precise sulphiting of the harvest, pre-fermentation maceration, etc.) and above all, prices that are the opposite of the prevailing speculation. Their whites and reds are models of style, balance and aromatic purity.
The Revue du Vin de France rightly hails the work accomplished by Luc Pavelot in recent vintages: “All his 2022s are intense, fragrant, with incredible density of fruit. Pure marvels with an exceptional price/pleasure ratio”.

Aubert de Villaine, the emblematic co-owner and manager of La Romanée-Conti, lives and works in Bouzeron, the first village south of the Côte de Beaune, on his Domaine acquired in 1971. Assisted since 2003 by his nephew Pierre de Benoist, he practises the same high-flying viticulture as at La Romanée-Conti, combining tradition, openness, purity, rigour and organic cultivation (since 1986).
Domaine rated one star in the Revue du Vin de France guide, and named one of the top 5 producers of 2021 by the magazine Bourgogne Aujourd'hui.
Bouzeron, 100% golden aligoté, carries high the values of this particularly underestimated grape variety.
Vinous (N. Martin): 89/100 "The 2024 Bouzeron has a pretty bouquet with touches of rose water, tincture and peachy fruit. Très Bouzeron. The palate is fresh and vibrant. Lovely weight and a little spicier than the previous vintage, with a healthy dash of ginger, but it is the texture that disarms the senses here. Enjoy over two or three years."

Vinous (N. Martin): 90/100 "The 2024 Mercurey Les Montots is quite backward on the nose, but as winemaker Pierre de Benoist suggested, you have to imagine this in four or five year's time. The palate is dense and quite structured for a Mercurey, classic in style with pepper and cloves that infuse the red fruit. Fine depth on the finish, yes, this is a Mercurey worthy of short-term cellaring."
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 2021 Revue du Vin de France guide.
Predominantly Marsanne (vines over 50 years old), a Crozes-Hermitage Vieilles Vignes dry white wine, aromatic (apricot, peach, frangipane...) and fat, with a judicious touch of bitterness on the finish.
La Revue du Vin de France: 91/100 “It benefits from barrel aging, which still leaves its mark. But the body and flesh are there, and time should bring everything together. A dense, fleshy wine, undoubtedly suitable for aging.”
