Gevrey Chambertin
Gevrey-Chambertin is the largest wine-producing village in Burgundy’s Côte d'Or. Located in the far north of the Côtes de Nuits, the classic style is typically deeper in colour, firmer in body and more tannic in structure than most red Burgundy. While in the past there have been myriad underperformers here, the overall quality is now higher than ever and the best can develop into the most complete and long-lived Pinot Noir in the world.

Domaine Alain Burguet,
For laying down,
This cuvée is made from older vines in their favourite sites. The wine displays a dense purple colour, with rich raspberry fruit; new barrels providing a bit more stuffing, and a very long finish. This is really singing.
This year Jean-Luc and Eric Burguet purchased some additional vineyards from another member of the family: an additional 0.75ha each in the two village Gevrey cuvées. We may also get a small allocation of Gevrey-Chambertin, Champeaux, 1er Cru and a new wine, Gevrey-Chambertin, Lavaux St Jacques, 1er Cru. They found that 2014 produced decent yields, with picking beginning on 18th September.

Domaine Rossignol-Trapet,
For laying down,
The vines are over 60 years old, but production was down 45 percent. This is pale in colour and very subtle. It is the biodynamic way – the finesse creeps up on you. A wine you initially thought was a bit insubstantial ends up filling your mouth with perfume and unexpected intensity. Very lovely, it glides with translucent red fruit. Drink 2020-2027.
Adam Bruntlett, Wine Buyer
The domaine was created through the marriage of Jacques Rossignol of Volnay with Mado Trapet from a noted family in Gevrey-Chambertin. Their sons Nicolas and David Rossignol have managed the domaine since 1990, moving subsequently to biodynamic farming. The first experiments started in 1997 with their Chapelle- Chambertin, followed by conversion of the whole domaine in 2004. Vinification includes a small proportion of whole bunches, while the trend in recent years has been to look for an increasingly elegant expression of Pinot Noir. It’s a remarkable cellar this year, with brothers Nicolas and David radiating calm and understanding. As elsewhere, this was a very challenging vintage for them, especially in Beaune, the village Gevrey vines and Le Chambertin. Containing the mildew required an incredible amount of work by hand. Their biodynamic strategy seems to have paid off though; after a slow start to the range, the impression was of incremental qualities. Intensity, not density. Nicolas and David referred us to Nono, Love and the Soil by Gaston Roupnel, a novelist born in Gevrey.

Domaine Lignier-Michelot,
For laying down,
Virgile’s expertise was tested here, as these lower- lying vineyards (Les Seuvrées and Les Murots) were attacked aggressively by mildew. He has, however, emerged with honour, as this is good, honest Gevrey, built in a lighter but appealing frame. Drink 2020-2026.
Adam Bruntlett, Wine Buyer
Virgile Lignier started working alongside his father in 1988, really taking charge from 2000, by which time all the wines were being bottled at the domaine. Significant advances were made in the vineyards, reducing yields and ploughing the soil, along with the introduction of a sorting table and a higher percentage of new wood in the cellar. The domaine has an exemplary range of Morey- St Denis vineyards, supplemented by one or two cuvées from neighbouring villages. By his own admission, in his early days Virgile Lignier looked for too much extraction from his wines. The tide began to turn in 2006 and today he is very comfortable in his style. He does like to look for good levels of maturity and he waited just a day or two more than his neighbours to pick, beginning on 29th September and finishing on 3rd October in his Faconnières vineyard. He likes long skin contact, starting at a cool temperature, but with limited pumping over. Virgile is perfectly satisfied with his results in 2016, but did remark that it was hard work getting to what was eventually a very healthy harvest.

Louis Boillot,
For laying down,
This is from eight different parcels around Gevrey, with the youngest vines 50 years old and the oldest up to 80. Louis harvested a relatively normal-sized crop. The immediacy of the vintage is obvious, but Louis is certain this will keep well too. It has a lovely equilibrium, with just the right amount of tannin. Drink 2020-2028.
Adam Bruntlett, Wine Buyer
Louis Boillot came to Chambolle-Musigny, where his partner Ghislaine Barthod is based, from Gevrey-Chambertin, though as his full range of wines indicates, he is descended from the Volnay family of Boillots. He was formerly associated with his brother and father at Domaine Lucien Boillot, but set up on his own from the 2003 vintage. In 2013, Louis supplemented his holdings in the Côte d’Or with the purchase of just over four hectares of well-sited old vines in the north of Moulin-à-Vent (the fruit of which you’ll find on pages 54 and 55). Louis and Ghislaine have recently been joined by their son Clément. Given that Louis thought that his 2015s were among the best wines he has ever made, it is quite a step up for him to say that, categorically, this is his best-ever vintage. It is an assertion that’s hard to refute. His eschewing of current trends in winemaking (no whole-bunch here) and a modest, reflective stance has allowed him to get the best out of his extraordinary array of vineyards and old vines. There are wonderful expressions of each vineyard this year.

Domaine Alain Burguet,
For laying down,
The scale of Eric’s distress is underlined by these numbers: normally he would make around 70 barrels of this; in 2016 he has 11. From vines over 40 years old and from an astonishing 23 different plots (including La Justice, Etelois, Créot etc), this has a lot of class and plenty of dimension. No new oak this year; Eric likes its more aromatic side to show. Drink 2019-2022.
Adam Bruntlett, Wine Buyer
Barrel-chested Alain Burguet has been one of Gevrey’s most respected vignerons for a quarter of a century. He left school in 1964 to work in the vines and made his first vintage under his own name in 1972. Alain’s muscular physique could be seen in the wines he made in the 1980s, where the tannins were occasionally too firm for the fruit. His style evolved towards a gentler, fruitier style which has been continued by his sons Jean-Luc and Eric since then. Their own vineyards are all located within Gevrey-Chambertin but the range has been supplemented by one or two cuvées from purchased fruit. Eric Burguet was phlegmatic but a little downcast on our visit. The frost was bad enough (taking out 30 percent), but he also lost another 40 percent to mildew. In the end they had to abandon their organic status, just to save anything from the crop. But it was too late for their Vosne-Romanée and Clos de Bèze, of which there is none. They are now under lutte raisonnée, and wonder whether they will ever return to organic. More positively, they do, like almost everyone else, have a decent volume in 2017. The mood of the tasting did not deflect from the quality that has been salvaged by their famously diligent triage processes

Benjamin Leroux,
For laying down,
The Gevrey-Chambertin is becoming somewhat totemic for Ben, produced mostly in a beautiful 35hl foudre which Ben feels gives the wine more elegance, finesse and precision than traditional 228-litre barrels. With gorgeous, sweet red cherry fruit, a charming softness and supple tannins, it is hard to disagree with his assessment. Drink 2020-2025.

Domaine Alain Burguet,
For laying down,
Eric and Jean-Luc save their oldest vineyards for Mes Favorites, another kaleidoscope of 30 parcels, with nothing younger than 70 years old. There are some serious vineyards too: Champerrier, Aux Corvées, Combe de Lavaux and so on. This takes 20 months in barrel but, again, none of it new. This is lovely, worth the heartache. A bold, robust and classic Gevrey. Drink 2020-2025.

Domaine Christian Serafin,
For laying down,
This is made from the domaine’s “younger” vines (a modest 50 years old on average) and parcels which are spread across Gevrey, but mostly on heavier soil and flatter sites. This produces a pleasant, middle-weight Gevrey with bright, red berry fruit on entry and a surprising level of tannic grip on the finish that points to a promising future. Drink 2021-2028.
Adam Bruntlett, Wine Buyer
This domaine was originally put on the map by Christian Sérafin’s father, Stanilaus Sérafin, a Polish émigré, who settled in Burgundy before the war. He initially worked as a mason, before purchasing some land in 1947 and establishing himself as a vigneron. His son Christian inherited the domaine in 1988, though he had been making the wine for the previous 20 years. Christian Sérafin is now past retirement age, but with a niece (Frédérique) in the vineyards and cuverie, and a daughter (Karine) in the office, continuity is in place. The style here is for powerful wines which age exceptionally well. Christian Sérafin’s niece Frédérique feels that 2016 is “une grande année de garde”, and could well surpass 2015. In fact, her confidence in the vintage is such that all the wines will be raised entirely in new oak barrels. The most badly-frosted vineyards were Bourgogne and Chambolle Baudes, which suffered 60 percent frost. Overall yields were down by around 50 percent but the cousins expect to release a larger proportion of the crop than usual en primeur in order to minimise the immediate impact of the losses. These are certainly wines which deserve long- term ageing.

Domaine Guyon,
Ready, but will improve,
A blend of three parcels of vines between 80 and 90 years old, there is great density here, with abundant griotte cherry and a wild, almost garrigue-like spice. The mid-palate is full and creamy, while brisk acidity and peppery tannins keep everything in check. Drink 2020-2028.
Adam Bruntlett, Wine Buyer
This excellent domaine in Vosne-Romanée has flown under the radar – perhaps because Jean-Pierre Guyon spends so much of his time out in the vineyards, which have been farmed organically since 2006, certified from 2012. With his high-pedigree viticulture as a great starting point, Jean-Pierre can employ whole-bunch fermentation as the stalks are ripe, eschewing the use of sulphur at this stage, though some is added during élevage and at bottling to assure stability. Despite obvious frustration at the small volumes, Jean-Pierre Guyon is delighted with the quality of his 2016s. He describes it as a vintage of great Pinot Noir typicity, which will be greater than 2015, explaining that the wines' saline character will have you reaching for the next glass. As ever, the grapes here were picked a touch later than many estates to ensure the stems were fully ripe. He only bought six new barrels for the entire 2016 crop, so the proportion of new oak is reduced.

Domaine Christian Serafin,
Ready, but will improve,
With an attractive touch of barrel toast, this is a rich, concentrated red-purple, laden with brisk, energetic, dark-cherry fruit. There is a good structure here, with attractive concentration and persistence. Flavours wash back across the palate. Delicious.
Though we still have the pleasure of tasting with Christian Sérafin, it is now his niece, Frédérique who is solely responsible for winemaking. Christian describes 2014 as being all about elegance and balance, with neither too much acidity nor tannin. The Sérafin wines always repay patience.

Domaine Christian Serafin,
For laying down,
The vines here average 65 to 70 years old, 90 for the oldest. All the plots are adjacent to either Grand Cru or top Premier Cru vineyards, and the resulting wine is the equal of many a Premier Cru. There is a remarkable density of ripe red and black fruit which coats the palate. It’s layered and chew y, but with the fruit to carry its structure. Drink 2023-2033.

David Croix picked relatively late for his reds, from October 3rd to 16th, but he wisely took the whites in first from 29th September to 2nd October. Overall he has been able to source more wine than for the pitifully small 2012 crop. These are beautiful wines, a marvellous expression of Pinot Noir, suited for medium term keeping.

Olivier Bernstein,
For laying down,
Glowing purple, this wine is all fruit on the nose with lovely deep plum and dark cherry notes. Concentrated dark cherry, blueberry and black fruit dominate on the palate with exceptional intensity in the mouth, and great weight behind. It is suave and concentrated at the same time, while the oak adds a touch of creaminess but in no way distracts from the lovely crunchy coolness of the fruit.

Domaine Alain Burguet,
For laying down,
Glowing purple with an impressive density of fruit, though the detail is yet to emerge. Super-stylish, very graceful, yet the weight of fruit builds gloriously on the palate to a very noble finish with great persistence. It is all about the elegance. Superb.

The 2013 harvest is the latest ever recorded at Burguet, starting 9th October, in the cold more than the rain – there was even some frost one morning. They have three separate sorting stations, though rot varied by sector. Vinification was normal, a long time in tank but a gentle approach. The 2013 is particularly, and consistently, successful chez Burguet.

Charles Van Canneyt,
For laying down,
Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru from Hudelot-Noëllat winemaker, Charles van Canneyt, has a modest bouquet with pretty red plum and redcurrant aromas, the oak lending some lift and neatly embroidered into the fruit. Nice purity here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well judged acidity, modest depth with a clean and silky smooth finish that is a tad commercial, if not delivering the same complexity as its peers. However, it does improve and has a pleasant piquancy. Tasted September 2016.

A lightly dusty quality to the aroma here but not in a negative way. On the palate, ripe and rich in fruit, with real depth and persistence. Chewy and long.

Maison Roche de Bellene,
For laying down,
The 2013 Chambertin Grand Cru is much more open on the nose than the Clos-de-Bèze with blackberry and briary notes, a Chambertin determined to impress (which it certainly does!) The palate is medium-bodied with strawberry and raspberry preserve, fine, almost filigree tannins and a sensual finish that completes one of Nicolas Potel’s best reds. If you cannot afford Armand R, there is always Nicky P.

Olivier Bernstein,
For laying down,
Classical noble purple, with a lighter but intense nose – nothing clumsy, it is all about the intensity of raspberry fruit, with some blueberry notes adding depth. There are some savoury touches behind, then minerals, then fruit again, returning in wave after wave. Very clearly Grand Cru in standard, this has great balance and extraction, the tannins are silky and succulent, and the discreet acidity adds a perfect note of crispness.
