About the Wine According to Decanter, Gevrey-Chambertin has “enjoyed a preeminent place in the world of fine wine for several hundred years. These wines can be considered as holding the first rank among those of the Côte d’Or” Gevrey-Chambertin’s wines had a special place in Napoleon Bonaparte’s heart, who “was reputed to drink a bottle of Chambertin every day.” They also have a very special place in our hearts. Domaine Harmand is a small family-owned winery that dates to the 19th century. The estate covers about 22 acres of vineyards located in some of the greatest terroirs of Gevrey-Chambertin in the Côte-d'Or appellation. The vineyard is planted with old vines of 50 years on average, but some of them can reach over 85 years. Since its inception, Domaine Harmand has followed traditional winemaking, where the wines shine thanks to their classic and extraordinary taste. The vineyard is managed with sustainable practices and careful and respectful viticulture. 2019 Vieilles Vignes is a selection of fifty-year-old vines located in Champeaux. The result is a complex, elegant Pinot Noirwith spicy notes and fine tannins. Suited for long aging. 2019 was an incredible year for Burgundy, this is a vintage to stock up on, a vintage to collect, and a vintage to enjoy. It was awarded a 98-point review and called a "hedonistic" vintage, and stated to be "perhaps rival 1865, the greatest vintage of all."

Jacques Rebourseau was a respected winemaker from Lugny. His son Claude Rebourseau settled in La Roche Vanneau in 1782. Modest farmers, they belonged to the hard-working rural class of the day involved in viticulture. They passed their passion for winemaking onto their children, one of whom was Jean-Baptiste Rebourseau. In 1919, the General Henri Rebourseau founded the domain on his father’s vineyards and he contributed to the growth of the estate for four generations. In 1955, his son Pierre took over the estate and tended it carefully until the eighties. Pierre Rebourseau handed over the management of the estate to his grandson Jean de Surrel in 1981. This was to be a significant turning point in the history of the Domaine. Jean de Surrel adopted organic winegrowing practices a biodynamic approach since 2012.

Domaine Jean Grivot is among the great names in Burgundian wine. Étienne Grivot and his wife Marielle took over from Étienne’s father Jean Grivot in 1987, and were joined by their daughter Mathilde in 2017. Organic farming, dense vine planting, and hard work in the vineyard give a ripe concentrated style. Grivot produces the classic expression of Vosne-Romanée, aromas and flavors of red berries, herbs, and purple flowers with a rich, ripe fruit palate. This is the iron fist in the floral velvet glove.

Johann Michel Cornas Cuvee Jana is 100% Syrah. Black raspberry aromas, licorice, sizzled bacon and smoke. Elegant and pure with depth and well-integrated tannins. Jana is the name of Johann and Emmanuelle's daughter. Manual harvest, selection of the grapes from the "Chaillot" parcel, full clusters, fermentation in tanks for 3 weeks, daily remontage and pigeage. Malolactic fermentation in oak barrels and aging on the lees for 12-18 months in barrels (new old barrels) The average age of the vines is 11 years. Yield: 25 hl/ha Review: "The tiny production 2019 Cornas Cuvée Jana is another gorgeous wine. More up-front and opulent than either the 2018 or 2016, it has a mass of blueberry and black cherry-like fruits as well as smoked game, bouquet garni, ground pepper, and iron. It hits the palate with a lush, opulent attack and has a terrific mid-palate, before the tannins build and clamp down on the finish, showing more loamy earth and mineral notes. It certainly displays the richer, ripe style of the vintage and has moderate acidity, yet the purity of fruit is spot on, it's beautifully balanced, and it’s going to keep for 25+ years in cold cellars."- Jeb Dunnuck (Northern Rhône: 2019s From Bottle, February 16th 2022), 98 pts

Quite impressive Chardonnay, that starts with a little fizz, and with all the chalk from behind, it makes you think of champagne. Chalky, mineral, with lots of stone fruits, iodine, mild tangerines & grapefruit zest, some flowers and pastry notes. Fermentation and ageing in concrete tanks, no sulfur added. Vertical wine, with racy acidity and weight in the palate. Amazing value.

Description Made from 100% Clairette and vinified in six different amphorae for ten months, La Sauvageonne is a unique wine. It is multi-layered and intensely mineral: incredibly delicate notes of pear build in tandem with a stratum of freshly hoed earth and a hint of bitter fennel. Despite its subtlety and restraint, this is brimming with energy – and will age beautifully.
