Pierre Vincent’s reputation has been blossoming over the last few vintages, as critic’s rate his wines increasingly highly and repeated success at the International Wine Challenge has been rewarded with the Len Evans Trophy for consistency over 5 years. Pierre is looking to major on delicacy while building persistence, to which end the new oak component is being reduced and the whole bunch fermentation percentage increased. The Vougeraie 2011s were picked over 12 days, beginning on the 31st August.

The fruit here is generous and vibrant whilst the mouthfeel is pleasingly full. A fine mineral acidity provides the drive and the impressively long finish.
Martyn Rolph, Private Account Manager
This Puligny-Montrachet displays very good volume this year, with grapes from right across the appellation. It has a lovely quality too, with several layers of fruit beautifully interweaved and attractive acidity, a little touch of orange blossom and good length.

Whilst this is as full and powerful as you’d expect from a Corton, it is the precision of the apple, pear and citrus fruit, and the steely minerality that really impressed me. Very expressive and vibrant with huge energy, it is a remarkable Grand Cru white.
Martyn Rolph, Private Account Manager
Striking and displaying a sparkling, stony character on the nose, there is plenty of energy here. It is medium bodied on the palate, with ripe fruit underpinned by a classical stony feel. Once again, this is a very fine example of Corton-Charlemagne.

Arnaud and Marie-Odile Ente have produced really concentrated wines in 2011, with the same yield as they enjoyed in 2010. The vineyards were farmed organically and the grapes were picked earlier than their neighbours, as usual, because the extraordinarily meticulous viticulture produced ripe grapes with the fine acidity that Arnaud cherishes. We also noted a clear step up in the quality of red wines this year.
Fine Wine Team
This vineyard is superbly located on limestone soil. It has a magical, really classy nose with floral notes on top of weighty fruit. The wine displays brilliant energy, crystalline purity and a great finish. Bravo.

Somewhat softer and rounder than Les Tillets, this wine has a little more weight on the mid-palate, reflecting its position on the lower slopes, alongside impressive fruit and length.

There are three new cuvées from Antoine Jobard this year: a Meursault not previously bottled, a newly purchased Puligny Premier Cru, and a barrel of Meursault Perrières grown by a friend and exchanged for some Jobard Poruzots. The harvest began on 29th August with healthy grapes, very few treatments having been needed in the vines, which were picked around 12.2% with correct yields around 50 hl/ha. This is a superb address for Meursault which ages with distinction.
Jasper Morris MW, Berrys' Burgundy Director There is a quiet evolution taking place in the Sauzet vineyards, with a steady movement towards biodynamic farming. The proportion of purchased grapes is also diminishing, partly because the domaine has been able to purchase some of the vineyards they were already working with. The cellar work, overseen by Gerard Boudot with his daughter and son-in-law, Emilie and Benoît, continues to be immaculate. Yields were correct in 2011, albeit well below 2009 and the wines are simply excellent.
Jasper Morris MW, Berrys' Burgundy Director During the last year, Etienne de Montille, who has run Château de Puligny-Montrachet for the last decade, bought out the previous owners. 2012 will therefore be the first vintage of the new regime and also the first which will be fully certified organic after completion of the necessary three years. In 2011 the Château has produced a good crop of white wines, with old-fashioned low alcohol levels in both the reds and whites: wines originally found to be around 12% abv have been adjusted to 12.5% abv, anything above that was untouched.
A text-book Chassagne; a perfect balance of fleshy fruit and crisp acidity with a twist of minerality on the palate. Not as famous as Meursault or Puligny, but for me, the village that produces some of the most drinkable wines in Burgundy, especially when they’re this good.
Chris Pollington, Private Account Manager
This is textbook Chassagne. The wine has an attractive floral, charming nose, a lovely steely body with good solid substance behind and excellent length.
