Our Burgundy 2020 En Primeur campaign went live on Tuesday, and needless to say there has been a lot of interest... global demand continues to rise at an insatiable rate, whilst allocations were reduced once again!
I am delighted to say there are still many brilliant Burgundy 2020 wines to discover; especially Bourgogne Chardonnay and Pinot Noir therefore, I have highlighted our hidden delights that fly under the radar and offer excellent value for money...
Vincent Latour Bourgogne Chardonnay 2020 | £85 IB (6x75cl)
A combined 2-hectares from the individual parcels of 'Les Clous Perrons', 'Les Bellecotes', 'Les Durots' and 'Les Herbeux'.
Mini-Meursault at a fraction of the price tag!
"Charming aromas of lemon citrus, golden apple and pear. Bright, fresh, and crisp on the palate thanks to the zippy, tingly acidity and further core of citrus and green fruit. Very pure and precise."
Bzikot Père et Fils Bourgogne Chardonnay 2020 | £85 IB (6x75cl)
A blend of the best placed parcels in Puligny-Montrachet. A portion of the wine is aged in 30% new oak, which provides a richer and more structured Bourgogne Blanc.
Junior Puligny-Montrachet... if you like richness and weight, look no further!
"Bright and lifted aromas of lemon, green apple and pear. Crisp and clean on the palate with focused, taught, racy acidity that fuses with further citrus fruit and white pepper minerality."

Jean-Louis Chavy Bourgogne Chardonnay 2020 | £110 IB (6x75cl)
A combination of 4 parcels that total ca. 2-hectares from younger vines. No new oak is used to emphasise freshness and its ability for early drinking.
Petit Puligny-Montrachet... if you like freshness and purity, this is for you!
"Delightful aromas of lemon zest and green apple. This is bright and clean on the palate with crisp, crunchy acidity that is taught, linear and pure. Great drive and precision mineral-infused finish."
Jean-Jacques Girard Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2020 | £130 IB (12x75cl)
One the best value and most consistent Bourgogne Pinot Noir's – hard to beat.
If tasted blind, you'd think be forgiven for thinking it was Savigny-Les-Beaune!
"Lovely, bright nose of red and black cherry, cranberry and strawberry. Juicy and vibrant on the mid-palate with underlying soft, silky tannins and further red berry and a touch of hedgerow fruit... this is so pure, and simply delicious!"
Bertrand Ambroise Bourgogne Pinot Noir VV 2020 | £75 IB (6x75cl)
Several select parcels throughout the appellation where vines have an average age of 75-years-old.
Best described as a baby Nuits-Saint-Georges!
"Dark and brooding aromas of black cherry and bramble fruit with roast coffee undertones. Impressive depth and structure with ripe, firm tannins and a compact core of further dark black fruits and integrated oak spice."
