Domaine Bertrand Maume
Overview and notes by Neal Martin (vinous.com)
Bertrand has had more than his fair share of demons. Despite life’s battle scars when we met, I could not help recall some of
the amazing bottles he helped create, as well as observing the bond between father and son. Tasting their 2019s that were
picked from 14th September from barrel, it was patently clear that Maume never lost the knack of producing what you might
call “fermented wonderment”. I tasted few Village Crus as spellbinding as their 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin En Pallud or a generic
red as fine as their 2019 Bourgogne Rouge from the lieu-dit of Les Vignes Blanches, grown on white limestone soils as its
name implies. Maume retained a cult following, especially here in the UK, evidenced by the pallets ready to be picked by their
transporter. Tasting these 2018s and 2019s I can understand why they continue to have a loyal following.
