White Burgundy Case
Wines included
Fabien Coche, Bourgogne Chardonnay 2019
This has the tell-tale ripe yet fresh balance of the vintage with good concentration of fruit for a Bourgogne. This was matured in 600-litre barrels and a large foudre to minimise the impact of oak on the wine and to capture the fresh fruit character.
Olivier Leflaive, Bourgogne Aligoté 2022
Floral, brisk-flavoured, taut aligoté from Burgundy that has been 100% fermented in tank to capture the freshness.
Domaine de la Rochette Montagne de Cra, Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine 2022
This is situated high on a slope where there is a shallow limestone soil. It results in a fresh, taut, mineral style with fresh, lemony core even in a warm year like 2022. Fermented and then matured for seven months in 350-litre barrels. 'Cra' is a derivation from craie, which is limestone in French. The vineyard comprises 4.5 ha of vines with an average age of 25 years and planted at 7500/ha. Frédéric Burrier has improved the viticulture, ploughing the vineyard to cut the superficial roots, encouraging them to descend into the soil where they mitigate the problems of flood or drought.
Joseph Burrier, Mâcon-Fuissé 2022
Ripe but fresh and well-balanced Mâcon of excellent quality which belies its humble appellation. Made from vineyards above the amphitheatre of Fuissé and fermented and then matured for seven months in 228-litre barrels.
Famille Cordier, Saint-Véran Vieilles Vignes 2022
A fresh and fine flavoured Saint-Véran from Leynes, with a linear shape and refreshing, vibrant palate. Fermented in a 38hl foudre and 500-litre barrels.
Domaine Gonon, Mâcon La Roche Vineuse 2023
Ripe and concentrated wine from the lovely 2023 vintage. It has aromas of apples and melons and a fresh and clean finish. Tank fermented and kept on its yeast lees for around nine months to contribute some richness to the mid-palate. Showing excellent complexity and value, this strikes a very pleasing balance between freshness and breadth.
