2024 Futures

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 ".

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.

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.

A blend of grenache, roussanne, clairette and bourboulenc, this white Châteauneuf plays the card of freshness and discretion. With aromas of white peach and orange blossom, its natural power will be fully expressed after 5 to 6 years of aging.

100% Viognier (50 years old), from the appellation's best terroirs. A Condrieu that's restrained, expressive and complex, but not exuberant.

Thanks to vines (Syrah) 60 years old, Michel Tardieu produces a 'grand' Crozes-Hermitage. Divided between fruit and minerality, in a round and silky style more Burgundian than Rhodanian, a perfect introduction to the Hermitage's wines.

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.

Cornas from Syrah and small Syrah aged 60 years minimum. The austerity due to the schistose soil is perfectly balanced here by Michel Tardieu's talent as a breeder. A model for the northern Rhône.

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.

Vacqueyras Vieilles Vignes: a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, firm and earthy vigour, in a style comparable to that of the Gigondas.

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.

A true Bandol, almost pure Mourvèdre (with 5% Grenache added), taking on Cabernet Sauvignon accents with age. Potentially very long ageing potential (20 years or more).

PSI (Peter Sisseck Initiative?) is the wine of a group of producers brought together by Mr. Sisseck according to precise specifications: tempranillo plots at least 30 years old, necessarily biodynamically grown, gentle extractions, long macerations and maturing practically without wood. A superior fruity wine, fine and with a great tannic softness.

Amazing story as that of Dominio de Pingus. Created in 1995 by Peter Sisseck, a Danish (!), this estate a few kilometres from Vega Sicilia has become a cult in less than 15 years.

Flor de Pingus is the second wine, coming from the Dominio de Pingus and neighbouring parcels acquired by fermage, 100% tempranillo 35 to 50 years old, biodynamic since 2005. Delicious and elegant, Flor is a modern vision of Ribera del Duero.
