The wedding of Vosne-Romanée’s Anne-Françoise Gros to Pommard’s François Parent led to the establishment in 1988 of this superb domaine, with excellent holdings across both the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits. With the help of their children Caroline and Mathieu, they produce generous wines of power and depth, with gentle extraction and cool maceration giving the wines a beautifully seductive velvety texture. The bottlings’ labels are all adorned with a different female head, inspired by Anne-Françoise and the artist’s interpretation of the vineyard’s style.
Well-made reds from Savigny have performed outstandingly in this vintage, and as one would expect from a producer of this quality, the fact is fully demonstrated in this lovely wine. From the premier cru vineyard adjacent to the Bois de Chenôve there is a warm, sun-kissed bouquet of ripe red fruit here, followed by a juicy, supple, medium-full mouthful of loveliness. With plenty of structure here to take it the distance, there is no hurry, but this will be delightful in just a few years – and indeed long after.

2020 Domaine Albert Bichot (Clos Frantin), Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Les Rouges 6x75cl
Officially recognised as organic from the 2019 vintage, Domaine du Clos Frantin is the star estate within the wider Maison Albert Bichot Group. The domaine holds an exceptional range of Grand Cru and... Premier Cru sites in the Côte de Nuits and in recent years, a reduction in yields, carefully judged extraction and prudent wholebunch fermentation means that the wines now compete against those from some of the very best producers in Burgundy, whilst remaining fantastically well-priced. Mr.Wheeler is delighted to have secured a small allocation of a range of dizzying Premier and Grand Cru cuvées in 2020 and as such, an early indication of interest is highly recommended.
A rarely encountered vineyard, part of Les Rouges forms a subsection of the Echézeaux Grand Cru. This 1er Cru part is directly above, and displays red cherry with delicate spicy nuances. Exquisite on the palate with plenty of grip from its tannic structure, this is an exceedingly fine Vosne Premier Cru.

2021 Comte Armand, Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru 6x75cl
"A more detailed, mineral nose than the Village Cru there is still a similar fruit profile here and one very well balanced on the palate, giving a combination of red and blueberry fruit and quite textured finish. All-in-all an extremely gratifying 1er Cru Auxey-Duresses." (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2021 Jean-Jacques Girard, Savigny-les-Beaune, Rouge 6x75cl
"This excellent Savigny les Beaune continues to be hugely popular and once again there is much to delight lovers of this wine in this vintage. There is an aromatic nose of crushed raspberries with... hints of sweet oak, leading to a deeply pleasing combination of broader hedgerow fruits that are elevated by a clean, fresh acidity and fruity tannins. A wine to bring so much pleasure to the dinner table. " (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2020 Comte Armand, Auxey-Duresses, Rouge 6x75cl
*ON ALLOCATION - £228 per case of 6 bottles IB*
One of the very finest producers in all of Burgundy, Domaine du Comte Armand is approaching its 200th anniversary very much at the top of its game.... After Pascal Marchant from 1985 to 1998, Benjamin Leroux from 1999 to 2013, Paul Zinetti is the third highly talented winemaker at the helm of this grand estate, and he is producing wines of rare depth, purity and character. The monumental Clos des Epeneaux, for a long time the only wine produced here, still gives the best Grands Crus a run for their money, but just as impressive is the unbeatable value delivered by the Auxey-Duresses cuvées and the delicacy and perfume of the Volnays. You can't go wrong at this address.

2020 Philippe Livera (Tilleuls), Cote de Nuits-Villages 6x75cl
A new find for Mr.Wheeler in the 2019 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.
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.

2021 Philippe Livera (Tilleuls), Bourgogne, Pinot Noir 6x75cl
Half the crop was lost this year but Livera’s Bourgogne rouge lost none of its joyful quality in this vintage. Super pretty core of red juicy fruit, fleshy with a nice long finish, and some hints of that liquorice that points to fruit grown on the Gevrey terroir. Very hard to beat for the value it delivers.

This is one of the finest estates in the region with wines of extraordinary aroma, purity of... fruit and elegance partnering the trademark Magnien richness and depth, with subtle use of new oak.

2021 Claudie Jobard, Beaune Premier Cru, Les Epenotes 6x75cl
The continuation into Beaune of Les Epenots, one of two vineyards in Pommard considered for promotion to Grand Cru status.

2020 Jean-Jacques Girard, Beaune Premier Cru, Clos du Roi Rouge 6x75cl
One of Savigny’s oldest domaines, originally founded in 1529. Jean-Jacques has been producing wine here as the sole proprietor since 1998, and with significant recent investment in the cellar and... winery he is producing outstanding wines. With his long experience of viticulture, Jean-Jacques firmly believes that the best wines are made in the vineyard and thus focuses his efforts on optimising the quality and health of the grapes themselves. This effort is reflected in his delightfully supple, elegant and classic wines, with his Savigny and Corton releases of particular note in 2020.
A stunning glass of wine - one to make you sit up and notice. The Clos du Roi vineyard is set on the north-western outskirts of Beaune and is part of a premier cru belt of land that produces outstanding wines. Dark cherries and a floral leafiness predominate on the nose, with developing nuances and a concertation on the palate that augur well for complexities to come. An absolute star performer once again.
