Red Burgundy
Vintages: |
|
Some good earlier vintages - 1999, 2002, 2005, 2010 | |
2005 - | Great vintage: benign weather conditions allowed a crop of healthy, perfectly ripe gapes to be harvested; both reds and whites are showing wonderful balance. |
2010 - | Very fine vintage - tiny yields, but fine, concentrated wines with good colour and the structure to give them a good future. Good whites as well. |
2013 | The weather was very difficult. It was a dull summer, and unhelpful weather in other respects: rain (inducing rot), hail, humidity in September (also inducing rot). Vintage charts don't rate it. But there is really nice acidity in some of the wines that has allowed them to develop really beautifully. In my opinion, an underrated vintage. |
I will continue to update this bit of the website! But more recent good vintages: 2015, 2019.
Of younger vintages, for drinking now, I recommend 2017 and 2021.

CÔTE DE NUITS VILLAGES 2020 Domaine Gachot-Monot I kept this vintage back because I thought it needed time to calm down and compose itself, which it has now done - though it is still an atypical, super-ripe vintage, with lots of colour and bold, rich fruit. |
