Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron
About Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron
Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron was founded in 1926 with the union of Jean Confuron of Vosne and Anne-Marie Bouchard of Premeaux. In 1980, the estate was split between the couple’s children, Christian and Jean-Jacques. Jean-Jacques had the good fortune of marrying Andrée Noëllat, one of the scions of the famed Noëllat family whose estate was subsequently acquired by Domaine Leroy, which explains why it is a common occurrence to find Confuron, Leroy, and Hudelot-Noëllat parcels side by side in several of the appellations. Today, the estate is led by Jean-Jacque’s daughter, Sophie Meunier-Confuron and her husband Alain Meunier.

This is also notably floral in character with a panoply of spice elements that add both depth and breadth to the cool cherry, raspberry and red currant aromas. As was the case with the Beaux Monts there is a spicy inner mouth perfume to the delicious and classy middle weight flavors that are shaped by sophisticated and very fine tannins, all wrapped in a mouth coating, focused and seriously persistent finish.

The crown jewel is the 2012 Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru that comes from the 0.50-hectare slither planted in 1922. It already boasts an enticing bouquet laden with luscious dark cherry and creme de cassis fruit, stupendous mineralite and exotic touches of blood orange and marmalade. The palate is silky smooth with razor-sharp tannins, once again superb mineralite and a sleek, sensual, quite piercing sorbet-fresh finish that lingers in the mouth much longer than the Clos de Vougeot. This is a sophisticated, modern take on the grand cru, one with panache and oozing class.Inc. VAT£2,287.22 -

The 2016 Romanée Saint Vivant Grand Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet. The fruit is darker than its peers: blackberry, boysenberry, hints of blueberry and crushed violet petals. This is quintessential Romanée-Saint-Vivant. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin and perfectly judged acidity. This is endowed with disarming structure and poise, fanning out beautifully towards the finish. A fabulous wine but it deserves a decade in the cellar. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

Planted way back in 1926, this 0.5ha parcel is always the most complex wine at the domaine. Violet and aniseed scents segue into a palate that's smooth, glossy and textured with bramble and black cherry fruit, some chalky undertones, stylish oak and subtle reduction. Supple, refined winemaking with appealing underlying precision and freshness. One of the best examples of the Grand Cru in 2018.Inc. VAT£1,611.62 -
