C'est un pur
Chardonnay

Imagine a Chardonnay that whispers class from the first sniff: white flowers, citrus zest, crushed hazelnut and a hint of flint. This 2021 comes from one of the most prized premier cru plots in the village, sitting right beside the legendary Montrachet slope, where chalky limestone soils give the wine its laser-like tension. The Bouzereau family, based in Meursault for generations, work their old vines with real care, then ferment and age the juice gently in barrel to add depth without masking the terroir. The result is precise, saline and beautifully long. Serve it with scallops, poultry in cream, or simply enjoy it on its own.

Auxey-Duresses

Tucked into the Côte de Beaune, this white comes from a family estate where brother and sister work side by side, tending old vines on steep, stony slopes. The chalky clay soils give the Chardonnay real tension, while careful hand-harvesting keeps the fruit pristine. Fermented and aged in oak barrels, with just enough time on its lees, it gains a creamy texture without losing its bright edge. Expect white peach, citrus zest and a hint of toasted hazelnut, finishing long and mineral. Pour it with roast chicken, creamy fish dishes or a good cheese board — you'll see why it's worth knowing.

Auxey-Duresses Rouge

# Auxey-Duresses Rouge 2021 — Domaine David Trousselle Tucked into a quiet valley behind Meursault, this little corner of the Côte de Beaune gives Pinot Noir real character. David Trousselle works his vines by hand on clay-limestone slopes, keeping yields low so each bunch ripens properly. The 2021 vintage was a tricky one, and that careful attention shows: gentle extraction, a patient ageing in oak barrels, nothing forced. You'll find red cherry, wild raspberry and a touch of woodland undergrowth, with fine tannins and a fresh, savoury finish. Lovely now with roast poultry or mushroom dishes, and it'll keep happily for another five or six years.

Beaune 1er Cru Blanches Fleurs

A delicate expression of Beaune's limestone slopes, crafted by Tomoko Kuriyama and Guillaume Bott, the duo behind one of Burgundy's most exciting small houses. Their approach is gentle: careful farming, whole-bunch fermentation where the fruit allows, native yeasts and a light hand with oak. The result is Pinot Noir with real charm — red cherry, wild strawberry and a subtle floral lift, framed by silky tannins and fresh acidity. The 2023 vintage brings ripeness without heaviness, so you get drinkability now and the structure to keep for a few years. Pour it with roast poultry, mushroom dishes or simply good company.

Beaune 1er cru les Chouacheux

Tucked just below the famous Beaune slopes, this plot gives you a Pinot Noir with real charm. The domaine works its vines organically, by hand, with tiny yields and a deep respect for the clay-limestone soil that brings structure and finesse. Grapes come in whole-bunch, ferment gently with native yeasts, then rest quietly in oak barrels where only a touch of new wood is used — so the fruit stays front and centre. Expect ripe cherry, wild raspberry, a hint of spice and silky tannins. Lovely now with roast poultry or mushroom dishes, and it'll keep charming you for a good decade.

Beaune Le Clos des Renardes

A Beaune red crafted by Fanny Sabre, one of Burgundy's most natural-minded growers, working her family vines with organic care and a gentle hand in the cellar. The parcel sits on classic Côte de Beaune limestone and clay, giving Pinot Noir real lift and freshness. Whole bunches, native yeasts, minimal sulphur and a patient ageing in older oak keep everything pure and unforced. Expect crunchy red cherry, wild strawberry, a twist of pepper and that silky, chalky finish Beaune does so well. Drink it now with roast chicken or charcuterie, or give it a few years — you won't regret either.
