Confuron Cotetidot
About Confuron Cotetidot
A proudly and defiantly traditional producer across the heartland of Burgundy, Yves Confuron can trace his viticultural roots to family members in the 17th century. Now, in the modern age when many purist collectors lament the perfectly polished swagger of many producers and yearn for rugged intensity, his wines carry a touch of his ancestors’ spirits.
Having always worked organically, long before his countless neighbours pursued these practices, the style of Confuron is instantly recognisable and consistently loved by his ardent fans. Another of his idiosyncratic tenants is a belief that only by picking fruit as ripe as the vintage will possibly allow and fermenting the whole bunches can a vigneron truly display the sense of vintage and terroir purely.
The vintage of 2021 was a challenging growing season as described by Yves Confuron, the régisseur at Domaine de Courcel in Pommard. However, they managed to avoid one major issue which was frost, thanks to their late pruning. This resulted in a late harvest and clean fruits, eventually yielding better volume than in 2020. What's remarkable is that the potential alcohols reached an excellent 13.5%, which eliminated the need for chaptalization. Allen Meadows is thoroughly impressed by their 2021s, applauding their freshness, transparency, and exceptional balance.

Vinous (91-94)Good medium red. Complex, expressive nose combines crushed raspberry, strawberry, peppery spices and smoky minerality. Rich, sweet and sharply delineated, with red fruit and underbrush flavors enlivened by notes of pepper, herbs and pungent cassis bud. Finishes with firm tannins that avoid dryness and lovely lingering perfume. This too will require extended cellaring, but it already delivers plenty of personality. |

Vinous (90-92)Moderately saturated ruby-red. Blackberry, cassis and menthol aromas are lifted by a mineral element. Juicy, saline and youthfully tight, even a bit clenched, but with harmonious bright acidity giving verve to the wine's dark berry flavors. Serious building tannins saturate the entire palate on the rather suave, fine-grained finish. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Craipillot 1er Cru is slightly diffuse on the nose, those fragrant red fruit and rose petal notes just need something to bind them together to gain more focus. The palate is sweet and candied on the entry, fine grip and tannins, nicely structured towards the finish that fans out with a sense of breezy confidence. This is a lilting, charming Gevrey-Chambertin that will be difficult to resist in its youth. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Vignes Rondes has a perfumed, floral bouquet, a mixture of red cherries, cranberry and rose petal that open nicely with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy red berry fruit and chalky textured with a stern and rather rigid finish. It is just a little too dry on the end but maybe it will gain some flesh with bottle age? |

Vinous (93)Deep red-ruby. Tight but tangy scents of black fruits, crushed stone, minerals and licorice, plus an exotic suggestion of white stone fruits. Wonderfully sappy, precise and energetic, conveying an impression of density without weight. This silky, refined wine is still a baby but its ripe, granular tannins and finishing juiciness suggest it will be a beauty with six or eight years of cellaring. |

Vinous (95+)Dark red-ruby. Incredible nose melds black raspberry, licorice, Asian spices, minerals and cocoa powder. Densely packed and powerfully structured but the wine's finesse of texture ensures a magical light touch. Pungent minerality and floral character give the middle palate rare energy for the vintage, belying the wine's 3.75 pH. Finishes savory and extremely long, with late-arriving tannins saturating the sides of the teeth. I find this a bit tighter today than the 2016 version, and indeed Confuron says the tannins here are a bit less ripe. But he's splitting hairs. Offers a compelling combination of sensuality and power. |

Burghound (91-94)Little else is discernible beyond strong reduction and wood toast. More positively is the lovely mid-palate mouthfeel to the medium weight flavors that display fine power and verve before culminating in a lingering if moderately strict and austere finale. This too is going to require extended bottle age as it's exceptionally firm, indeed even robust. |
