From his modest winery hidden off the beaten track in the little village of Arcenant in the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, Aurélien Verdet crafts wines of astonishing purity and precision. A highly talented young winemaker whose following is growing steadily every year, Aurélien is no exception to the adage that “Great wine is created in the vineyard”. Indeed, he lavishes great care and attention on his 5.5 ha of vines, which he farms organically to produce fruit of superb quality. The winemaking is then all about respecting that fruit to bring the terroir through, which he does with great aplomb. A rising star to watch!
Over the past few years we have been waxing lyrical about those Nuits 1er Cru vineyards abutting to Vosne-Romanée (in this case, the famous Les Malconsorts) and the sublime balance of structured power, black-fruited intensity on one hand, and the velvety texture and lifted aromatics usually associated with Vosne. Aurélien’s Les Boudots once again shows off this brilliant combination with its muscular tannins, brilliant energy and polished edges.

2019 Domaine Michel Magnien, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Sentiers 6x75cl
"Cask sample. Mid crimson. Darker-fruited and more peppery than the Morey premiers crus but still fragrant with the merest hint of roses. Finely dry tannins, succulent, mouth-watering and persistent. Elegant and beautifully balanced." 17 pts., Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com

2020 Philippe Livera (Tilleuls), Marsannay 6x75cl
A new find for Mr.Wheeler in the 2018 vintage and one we are pleased to follow since then; Domaine Livera is widely considered the “next Burgundian star” tellingly both by consumers of their... exceptional wines together with their winemaking contemporaries. The Livera family have been settled on the Domaine for almost 100 years, but Damien, who has been in charge for 13 years now, has taken the wines to a different level altogether. His style is one of purity, precision of fruit and impressive depth, quite reminiscent of the wines produced by Arnaud Mortet (who is a close friend and advisor). This is an up-and-coming address and very much one to watch.

2021 Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini, Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru, Les Millandes 6x75cl
From a great vineyard abutting the grand cru of Mazis-Chambertin, here is elegance and dynamism in a wine with sumptuous layers of morello cherry, fresh herbs, and tempered by a delightful freshness and complexity. One to provide intense drinking pleasure over the next 10 to 15 years.

2020 Domaine Anne et Herve Sigaut, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Groseilles 6x75cl
Siblings Anne and Hervé Sigaut manage a domaine established at the dawn of the 19th Century, yet they have embraced modern winemaking practices where it makes sense, balancing heritage and 21st... century know-how beautifully. The leitmotif here is one shared with many of the top addresses up and down the Côte d'Or - "great wine is made in the vineyard". The attention to detail and perfectionism are impressive, and yield perfect fruit, which is dealt with with the utmost delicacy and respect in the winery, by a team very mindful of what Chambolle-Musigny is all about - delicacy, elegance and silky texture. This is a new domaine to us this year, and we are very excited to bring these wines to you.
Within Anne's range Groseilles is a more reined in, subtle and harmonious cuvée. Such lovely, gentle energy on the finish; crunchy red cherry fruit and a spine of ripe, softly-edged, acidic structure. Superbly, expertly balanced.

2020 Domaine Michel Magnien, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Sentiers 6x75cl
From vineyards located on a "sentier" (path) that leads to Clos de Vougeot, only the Route des Grands Crus separates it from that end of the exquisite Grand Cru “Bonnes-Mares”, on the edge of Chambolle and Morey. Outstanding quality of fruit.

2020 Domaine Anne Herve Sigaut, Chambolle-Musigny, Les Bussieres Vieilles Vignes 6x75cl
"Vivid red. A high-pitched, spice-accented bouquet of ripe red and dark berries, peppery spices and minerals, accompanied by a strong potpourri quality. Supple and expansive, offering juicy black... raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that put on weight and become sweeter with air. In a plush, seamless style, displaying strong finishing thrust and smooth, slowly building tannins that add shape. " 93 pts., Neal Martin, vinous.com

2021 Domaine Anne-Francoise Gros, Vosne-Romanee, Les Chalandins 6x75cl
An ethereal, single climat Vosne-Romanée bursting with cherry and berry fruit; a silky mouthfeel and tannins and in the background, a wisp of toasty oak. Exceptional quality achieved at this level. (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2020 Claudie Jobard, Pommard Premier Cru, Les Charmots 12x75cl
The wines of Pommard are renowned for their structured and powerful cuvées and this example is no disappointment. A nose of fragrant cherry precedes an intense framed mouthful of deep berry fruit... and blackcurrants, with great balancing acidity and length. It is of course very young, yet is already showing signs that with time this will be absolutely delicious.

Crisp, savoury, fresh with a core of red fruit, a delightfully raspy tannic structure, this is so thirst-quenching and moreish, it will be hard not to follow the first glass with a second. Perfect lunchtime Burgundy.
