Tasting Notes

16.5
Jancis Robinson Julia Harding - 25 Nov 19
Planted 1985, at the bottom of the slope of Primeaux-Prissey (in the village), clay with alluvial stones. Only 20 hl/ha in 2018 because of hail but he thinks you can make an excellent Bourgogne with 40 hl/ha. The berries are all millerandé, Faure explains, so very small. ‘When I took over the vineyard it was hungry but it is slowly recovering’, he says. 100% whole bunch. Bottled.Fragrant, slightly smoky, floral, even a touch of lavender. Smoky/dusty herbs and the scent of red fruit. Juicy, delicate and scented by the stems but not stemmy at all. Lovely length and fragrance right to the long finish. Much more than a vin de soif, though it is mouth-wateringly refreshing. (JH)

Bourgogne Fine Wine

Bourgogne

Bourgogne AOC represents the entry-level wines of Burgundy, offering a taste of the region's winemaking traditions. These wines, primarily made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, cover a broad area from Chablis to Beaujolais. Red wines are light to medium-bodied with red berry flavours and earthy notes, while the whites are crisp and mineral-driven with green apple and citrus. Accessible and versatile, Bourgogne AOC wines are an excellent introduction to Burgundy. Notable producers include Joseph Drouhin, Louis Jadot, and Bouchard Père et Fils.
