Introducing you to our top picks from Burgundy's most esteemed villages.

In this instalment of Burgundy Week at Seckford, we move on to three of the Côte d’Or’s most established villages:

Chassagne-Montrachet is renowned for its powerful, fruit-driven whites, with the level of oak influence varying between producers. Vosne-Romanée produces some of Burgundy’s most refined and aromatic Pinot Noir, while Gevrey-Chambertin is defined by depth, structure, and longevity.

The wines below give a focused view of each village’s character.

Chassagne-Montrachet

2014 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Cailleret, Jean-Noel Gagnard

£450 per 6ib
£562 incl duty & VAT*

In Chassagne-Montrachet, Chardonnay often sits at the intersection of power and precision, with the top Premier Cru sites offering both depth and clarity. Cailleret is one of the village’s finest. The 2014 vintage is a standout, combining ripeness with freshness, and this wine from Jean-Noël Gagnard captures that balance beautifully. Citrus and stone fruit layered with subtle nuttiness, a chalky, saline edge, and a long, focused finish. It’s drinking superbly now, but still has the structure and energy to continue developing.

Vosne-Romanée

2021 Vosne-Romanée, Joannet

£300 per 6ib
£381 incl duty & VAT*

In Vosne-Romanée, Pinot Noir is all about perfume, texture and depth rather than sheer weight. Even at village level, the wines tend to show a level of refinement that sets Vosne apart. This 2021 from Joannet is a clear expression of that style, offering bright red berry fruit, floral lift and subtle spice, with fine tannins and fresh acidity keeping everything in balance. It’s elegant and approachable with a little air now, while the structure and purity of the vintage suggest it will continue to evolve superbly over the coming years.

Drink 2026 -2034

Gevrey-Chambertin

2018 Gevrey-Chambertin, Mark Haisma (12x75cl)

£340 per 12ib
£452 incl duty & VAT*

At their best, wines from Gevrey-Chambertin should be indulgent and complex. The 2018 vintage brought a naturally ripe, open character, and Mark Haisma’s village Gevrey handles that warmth with real control. There is plenty of dark fruit here, with black cherry and plum at the core, alongside gentle spice and a savoury, earthy edge that keeps everything grounded. Firm but well-integrated tannins give the wine shape and persistence, and crucially, enough balance to suggest it will continue to develop positively over the years.
