Burgundy 2021 En Primeur

Our annual trip to the Cote d’Or to taste the new vintage is always a highlight of the year. This year felt extra special as travel restrictions that had kept us stuck at home were finally lifted. The 2021 was a reasonably brutal year in Burgundy, with numerous issues that have sadly hammered the production size significantly.

 

Plainly, 2021 will be a varied vintage and generalising it will be a difficult thing to do. Still, there are indeed some exceptional Pinot and Chardonnay examples that have triumphed over the dramatic vintage. Despite the challenges imposed by the weather, these wines saw a remarkable comeback to the classical style, with very moderate alcohol levels falling between 12.5 to 13.2%.

 

Careful selection is required for this vintage, and our buying team is pleased to provide more details and insider tips after a fruitful tasting week at Burgundy. Stay closely with us on this exciting campaign!

Arlot Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru 2021 (1x75cl)

£470 - £611

2021

Arlot Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru 2021 (1x75cl)

Vinous (92-94)

The 2021 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, matured in 50% new oak, takes time to unfurl on the nose: brambly red fruit, undergrowth, just a touch of liquorice and sea spray. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, well-judged acidity, more open than previous vintages, supple and very pure on the finish. Wonderful. Four barrels produced - the maximum produced from their holding.

Comte Georges de Vogue Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 2021 (1x75cl)

£365 - £475

2021

Comte Georges de Vogue Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 2021 (1x75cl)

Vinous (93-95)

The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru now comes from a small 0.2-hectare parcel of vines under 25-years old, tucked just below the Musigny Blanc. So there are now just two barrels. It has a beautifully-defined bouquet, much more complex in fact, than the Les Amoureuses with vivid blackberry, raspberry and mineral scents. The palate is very well balanced with saturated tannins, slightly granular in texture with real depth and grip towards the elegant finish. Stylish.

£795 - £1,034

2021

Comte Georges de Vogue Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 2021 (1x75cl)

Vinous (92-94)

The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru, reduced to three barrels (see producer profile) has a fragrant bouquet with ebullient red fruit, hints of cassis, iris and peony. Very fine definition and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with velvety tannins and fine acidity. This is a strict and linear Amoureuses, pure, yet maybe missing the flamboyance that a more benevolent season would bestow. Moderate length. Give it 3-5 years in bottle.

Inc. VAT: £432.28
2021

Fontaine-Gagnard Criots-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2021 (1x75cl)

Vinous (93-95)

The 2021 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, represented by five barrels this year, has a refined and focused bouquet, just a subtle reduction at play here. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, harmonious with a gorgeous smooth texture, gently unfurling with a tender yet concentrated finish. Wonderful.

2021

Henri Boillot Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2021 (1x75cl)

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-96)

The holding is right in the middle of Bâtard-Montrachet, with rows all the way up and down. Mid yellow. A weighty punchy bouquet, not quite so fine. Massive on the palate and the fruit takes on a whiter, not over ripe configuration, with excellent thread of acidity. Still an absolute baby but will certainly achieve its grand cru status. Drink from 2027-2035. Tasted: October 2022

2021

Henri Boillot Clos-Vougeot Grand Cru 2021 (1x75cl)

Vinous (91-93)

The 2021 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru (from Grand Maupertuis) is bright, piercing and crystalline. This is a very pretty wine, but it needs to be appreciated on its own terms. I don’t see a ton of Clos Vougeot character; rather, the vintage style speaks most clearly. Readers will find a tonic, energetic Burgundy. - Antonio Galloni

2021

Henri Boillot Echezeaux Grand Cru 2021 (1x75cl)

Vinous (90-92)

The 2021 Echezeaux Grand Cru is powerful yet not fully developed. There's good energy throughout, that much is evident, but the mid-palate needs to fill out a bit more. It will be interesting to see if that happens in bottle, as the wine I tasted was at the end of its elevage in barrel. Dark red fruit, gravel, spice, leather and game lend quite a bit of darkness to this Echezeaux, which emerges from a parcel in La Combe d'Orveau. - Antonio Galloni

2021

Henri Boillot Montrachet Grand Cru 2021 (1x75cl)

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95-97)

Beeswax and lime blossom, especially the latter, which Guillaume finds typical of Montrachet. The Montrachet shows both class and intensity over and above the Bâtard as indeed should be the case. Brilliantly racy despite the intensity. This year there is one 228 litre barrel instead of the usual 350, and made up in zebra fashion, half new wood with alternate dowels. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: October 2022
