Alexandre Burgaud,
Ready, but will keep,
The 3rd vintage we've bought from young Alexandre Burgaud and, in our view, his best wine yet. The nose delivers everything one wants from Beaujolais-Villages: red berry and floral aromas, with a hint of kirsch. Alex now has five hectares in Lantignié, where the combination of venerable vines (some a century old) and granite soils contributes a complex, mineral character to his wine, elevating it way above most of its peers – and many Cru wines. Drink now to 2019.
Alex continue to work three days a week for his uncle, Morgon producer Jean-Marc Burgaud, while gradually adding to his own holdings. He vinifies traditionally (semi-carbonic) in stainless steel.

Jean-Marc Burgaud, wizard winemaker in Morgon, introduced us to his cousin Alexandre’s superb Beaujolais Villages. The wine comes from old vines in the village of Lantignié which is regarded as being the best location for Beaujolais Villages. The wine is made in classical Beaujolais style with the stems retained.
