Jean-Marc Burgaud,
Ready, but will improve,
Established in 1989, Domaine Jean-Marc Burgaud today comprises 18.5 hectares, the majority in the Cru of Morgon. Jean-Marc considers his Côte du Py the cuvée most representative of Morgon’s singularities. From 50-year-old, south-facing vines in soils of blue schist, it combines great concentration – of tannins and ripe black fruit – with a clear mineral thread, and is exceptionally age-worthy. It was harvested first among Jean-Marc’s reds in 2016 (September 22nd), in a bid to capture the bright acidity characteristic of the vintage. As usual, this cuvée was vinified with all stems retained, and matured in concrete vats, allowing fruit and terroir to speak for themselves. Drink 2018-2025.

The excellence of Cru Beaujolais is something I have held dear for some time, but its ageing potential was first brought to my attention when I was served two Moulin-à-Vent wines from 1961 and 1962 produced by Camille Giroud. The freshness and complexity of these wines was simply astonishing and I have since made it something of a personal mission to return these great wines to their rightful place in the cellars and on the tables of the most discerning wine drinkers. The wines in our offer cover a range of styles; whole-bunch, de-stemmed, oaked, unoaked, elegant and floral, dense and structured. This almost endless variety and versatility is what is most fascinating about Gamay grown on Beaujolais’s volcanic soils. What the wines have in common, however, is that they all offer excellent value for money and great drinking pleasure.

Coming from a winemaking family, it was almost inevitable that Jean-Marc would set up his own estate, which he did in 1989 with his wife Christine. Their 19 hectares are divided between Morgon (13 hectares), Régnié (one hectare) and Beaujolais Villages (five hectares) and Jean-Marc believes that this is the maximum area he can cultivate while still producing the quality he is after.
The gobelet vines have an average age of 60 years, and are planted at high density (10,000 per hectare). Although not certified, he farms organically and all the work in the vineyard is done by hand.
