COTE DE BEAUNE
CATHERINE & DOMINIQUE DERAIN, Saint-Aubin – Biodynamic Dominique and Catherine Derain definitely adopt a minimalist approach. They farm biodynamically, hand harvest, do not chaptalize or acidify and use the barest amount of sulphur in their winemaking approach. All the fruit is hand-picked and they destem 90% of their red grapes before fermentation, which occurs in wooden vats. After fermentation the wine is aged in old oak casks for 12-18 months. The couple never use SO2 during the winemaking process, adding only a small amount at bottling for stabilization. The Saint-Aubin Rouge is marked with bright acidity, vibrant cherry fruit, Asian spices and lovely balance. This is a silky number that should provide several years of great drinking. The thrilling Mercurey from old biodynamically-tended vines (100 years old) reaches an altogether different level. It is a blend of 85% Pinot Noir, 15% Pinot Beurrot (related to the Pinot Gris). There is a silky nature to this Mercurey giving it a supple mouthfeel and a detailed range of raspberry and cherry fruit with a touch of pomegranate. It has lovely spice notes and touch of lavender on the nose. Striking elegance, complexity and length. Warning! Cool Mercurey rising... The Saint-Aubin vines are situated on a slope with an eastern exposure and the soil is lime-clay with brown gravel. This is a model Côte de Beaune wine expressing red flowers (roses, cherry-blossom) and then in the mouth cascades of stone fruit supported by lively, lacy acidity. A gem. With its aromas of white flowers, custard apple, lemon curd, buttermilk and citrus, at once ample, generous and mineral, the “Puligny-manqué” (Saint-Aubin en Vesvau) has a brilliant curve of acidity and embraces so many contradictory notes with its tender quality allied to remarkable driving purity. You look for the oak, you look for the tartness – they are absent– what remains is the wine pure and not so simple, absolutely natural, everything in its place… From a tiny plot (less than 1/3 hectare of low yielding vines grown in the brown clay soils in Puligny village Bourgogne Blanc “La Combe”is tighter than a coiled spring and more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. 2014/15

SEXTANT, JULIEN ALTABER, Saint-Aubin There’s a subtlety in these Burgundies that bears an obvious resemblance to Julien’s mentor, Dominique Derain. At the same time, though, there’s an incredible energy and liveliness that results from Julien’s gentle, hands-off cellar work. He believes that Burgundies are at their best without chaptalization, even if nature gives him a mere 11% alcohol, as is often the case. Fermentation is always spontaneous and sulphur is generally avoided entirely. Finally, the wines are left unfiltered to showcase the aromatic complexity of Julien’s unique terroirs. There is a brilliance to this Bourgogne Blanc that could easily be missed if you seek oak veneer in your Chardonnay. It has an evanescent quality, the echo of citrus disappearing down the palate.

Nose – a term embracing the aroma and bouquet of wine. A strange thought occurs: do wine tasters’ noses evolve to match their speciality? Would a sherry sniffer eventually end up with a beak like a sandpiper, ideal for poking into a copita, and would a burgundy lover’s hooter swell to resemble a big reddish-purple truffle?
DOMAINE JEAN-JACQUES GIRARD, Savigny-Lès-Beaune The renowned estate of Girard-Vollot split in 1998 and Jean-Jacques Girard took his share of the vines and began to produce perfumed wines with great structure from reduced yields. To preserve maximum freshness and aroma Jean- Jacques starts the fermentation in stainless steel before transferring the wine into oak barrels. The vines for Les Fourneaux are situated on east-facing slopes on limestone-clay soils. They are an average age of 45 years old. Lutte raisonnée is practised. Vinification is in open cuve with the entire harvest destemmed. Elevage is for 15 months in futs de chêne with around 15% new oak. Quite rounded with good concentration of ripe strawberry fruit. Les Serpentières, from 50 year old south-facing vines, is marked by a deep ruby-purple colour and striking fruit aromas. Surprisingly open on the palate it oozes silky-spicy red-fruit flavours and has a lingering, finely textured finish. 2014

DOMAINE PATRICK MIOLANE, Saint-Aubin This village Puligny shares many of the qualities found in a St. Aubin, but with more intensity and power. The Puligny comes from a parcel of vines planted in the early 1960s on alluvial soils. The harvest is manual with the grapes transported in small cases to the winery and sorted further on the table de tri. After pressing the juice is chilled down for debourbage and undergoes an alcoholic followed by malolactic fermentation. Batonnage is practiced in order to give more aromatic richness to the wine. Half of the wine is raised in tank and half in futs de chêne of which 20% of new Burgundy barrels. Yellow straw in colour with a nose of hawthorn and holly, candied apples and pears. On the palate it is round, generous, ample, and delicate in a texture that lingers on the palate for a long finish. The acidity is just amazing here. Several years in bottle will reward patience as you can sense the shimmering nervosity of the wine. Here again we get the sense that the wine is dancing on the palate. It’s very hard to describe this sensation to those accustomed to the heavy and clumsy character of Chardonnay’s made elsewhere in the world. “C’est un vin gourmand qui révèle dès aujourd’hui une facilité gustative.”Get your gustatory kicks as you sup this wine with a fillet of sea bass – which the estate recommends you cook with 178irabelle de Géméné, a dish assuredly aimed at the chitterling classes.. Les Perrières is a parcel of south-east facing vines situated just behind the domaine. The micro-climate contributes to the amazing character of the wine. This Saint-Aubin is dark red, fluid, almost twinkling. The nose is seductive, marked by liquorice and cassis and with a certain animal character that contributes an extra dimension. Elegant and lifted the palate is completed by the signature Perrières minerality which raises this wine to a level where it might be confused with some of the finer Burgundies of the region. This finesse steers our putative food match towards fish such as 178irabe à la peau croustillante sur une fondue d’échalote et sauce au vin rouge. If that’s a bit too complicated to rustle up in ye olde microwave try it with salmon and a beurre blanc reduction. 2012

DOMAINE LARUE, DIDIER & DENIS LARUE, Saint-Aubin Situated in the very heart of Saint-Aubin Domaine Larue also produces a particularly fine example of Puligny. The Garenne vineyard is a mere 0.6 hectare in size. The viticulture is exacting: 179lum raisonnée, working the soil, green harvest, manual harvest. Fermentation is in barrique, a third of which are new and there is a further elevage on the lees with regular batonnage. The wine displays classic honey, butter and citrus overlaid with hazelnut and pain grille and the striking palate offers equilibrium between minerality and sweetness. Try this, if you will, with medallions of monkfish in a saffron sauce or 179laret179ee de volaille aux morilles. Clear pale lemon in colour, this fruity and floral Saint-Aubin, from vines over 40 years old, has a delicate bouquet with an intimation of oatmeal. The palate has fresh white peach and is nicely complex and not too heavy. You will like the Meursault-styled earthiness on the finish. With nice acidity and good, clean length, this will develop and keep very well. 2016

JEAN-MARIE BERRUX, Saint-Romain – Biodynamic This is an original Chardonnay from a biodynamically farmed domaine in Saint-Romain. Jean-Marie Berrux uses only indigenous yeasts and no sulphur at all during vinification, except a touch before bottling, The alcoholic fermentation takes place for about six months with temperature regulation of the vat and regular topping up without oxygen exchange. Liquid crystallised fruits on the nose. The mouth, reminiscent of honey with cooked-apple notes. It’s crisp, coiled Chardonnay, replete with whipcrack acidity and bedrock mineral. Which is to say it’s a fair ringer for actual Puligny- Montrachet, at a fraction of the price. But, belying its name, which means “little stubborn one,” it’s dance-in-the-streets delicious right this instant. There’s a sea-spray, sea-shelly salinity, and a kind of delicate lime-zest filigree acidity.

SARNIN-BERRUX, Saint-Romain – Biodynamic The winery is located in the beautiful village of Monthelie, perfectly situated in the Côte de Beaune, on the route des Grands Crus. Jean-Pascal & Jean-Marie, inseparable and complementary, sensitive to environmental protection, produce wines with selected organic grapes, essentially from the Côte de Beaune ; a process as pure as possible : unrelenting work in the vines during the harvest using only small boxes for the delicate transport of grapes to the winery, a gentle pressing, and above all, no additives, fining or filtering and the bare minimum of sulfites protection allow them to produce very fine and very mineral wines. 2014

DOMAINE COFFINET-DUVERNAY, Chassagne Domaine Coffinet is a family estate handed down from generation to generation from 1860 in the village of Chassagne- Montrachet. A significant plot due to its considerable surface area, “Les Blanchots Dessous” lies just underneath “Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet”. The vines grow on a deep clay-calcareous soil with some marl and face south near the base of the slope at two hundred metres altitude. The grapes for the wine are carefully harvested and sorted. After the must settles, the fermentation takes place in barrels (30% new oak) and is subsequently matured for fourteen to sixteen months in barriques depending on the vintage. The wine undergoes fining but no filtration.
ripe peach emerge from the glass. This is an intense style, quite full, with a sense of opulence. Very mineral, and with a layered depth. An exciting premier cru that shows a fine arc of fruit and a fascinating, lingering minerality .
brill (whatever happened to brill?) with a white wine sauce or some grilled red mullet. “Les Fairendes” is a premier cru vineyard of some twenty-seven acres of 42 year old vines, based on the Morgeot AOC. The lowest part of the plot is mostly marl and planted with Pinot Noir, the highest part is very rocky on brown limestone and is planted with Chardonnay. The estate is worked following the sustainable farming philosophy. They practise green harvesting depending on the vintage. Yields are a very reasonable 40-45hl/ha with the grapes manually picked in the third week of September. Expressive, almost racy nose of bright, minerally lemon fruit. The complex palate shows a good concentration of tight mineral fruit with some rich nuttiness underneath .

DOMAINE JEAN JAVILLIER, Volnay – Organic Jean Javillier has 7.5 hectares in the famous village of Meursault in the Côte de Beaune. He converted to organic farming in 1972, something unheard of locally in those days. Today his sons Alain and Thierry run the domaine. It took the family almost fifteen years to effectively grasp how to farm and make wine organically although they have been certified since 1976. The soils are fertilised with compost made up of organic fertilisers – a mixture of horse and cow dung. The minimum number of treatments are used in the vineyard (sulphur for oidium and copper for mildew) and yields are limited to 35-45 hl/ha. The cuvaison is relatively brief about twelve days with natural yeasts. The wines stay in tonneaux or cement tanks for 12-15 months before bottling. The Volnay is very pretty, a vermilion-hued Burgundy with delicate aromas of framboise and mure, soft yet rich tannins. The wine is always flattering in its infancy, on the floral side, before developing the classic truffle and sous-bois bouquet. The Pommard is ripe, plush and chunky; it would accompany feathered game happily.
