It faces southeast on a high, steep part of the hillside, and a general lack of any direct breeze there encourages notable ripeness. The wine possesses a lower-pitched, deeper nose than the basic Pernand-Vergelesses above, but with an equivalent limestone intensity more solid in its character than powdered. The palate is richer and thicker as well, but suffused with the alert acidity typical of the Rollin style.

Its like the good old days, quips FrÃ©dÃ©ric Mugnier, and to be honest, if those words had been uttered from anyone elses mouths, then I would have laughed¦but he means it. My visits to Mugnier are one of my most cherished, not only because of the wines but because our conversation habitually meanders into related topics upon which he does not pull his punches. Today, we speak about the current frenzied demand for Burgundy and how it has changed the regions spirit, the spectre of global warming that clearly plays on his mind and the essence of what a Burgundy wine ought to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe year was relatively cold and rainy, which made the work in the vineyard more difficult, he continues. We had to make sure we sprayed at the right time against mildew, which was not easy. We only sprayed copper and sulphur, though Im not organic, and that included weekends. Its good to have a tractor that is not too heavy but remains light enough with good spraying capability. For that, you need a turbine, and turbines are heavy. We didnt have too much damage from mildew. It was not easy to reach full maturity, and in the end, it became a competition between ripeness and rot. There are many vintages like that, and the wines turn out to be delicious, delicate and seductive. I think 2021 is that kind of vintage. They say: vines must suffer to make great wine. But I think its the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ewinemaker\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethat must suffer. People evaluate wines after a year. Look at all the restaurants in Beaune with 2020 Grand Crus and all their lists [Mugnier rolls his eyes and sighs]. I judge my wines on how they taste after ten years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe started the picking on 16 September, and the sanitary conditions for the bunches were fine. My crop is comparable in volume to recent vintages. We cropped at 25hl\/ha, whereas average is 35hl\/ha, and alcohol levels reached around 12.5%, just the Chambolle Village was chaptalized a little. Early samples that we take for analysis are often lower [in potential alcohol], but the final degree is often one degree higher than expected, so I end up wondering why I chaptalized in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn many ways, 2021 is the kind of growing season that might throw obstacles in the way of Mugnier, but the style sutures neatly with his style of wine. Standouts include a spellbinding Les Amoureuses and, predictably, the Musigny Vieilles Vignes, both shade the Bonnes-Mares that I find relatively skinny and missing a bit of meat on its bones; nothing unexpected given the growing season, plus the fact that this has rarely been Mugniers strongest card to play.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44879217787113,"sku":"117451","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/IMG_2703BackgroundRemoved.png?v=1694233288"},{"product_id":"2020-domaine-henri-prudhon-saint-aubin-1er-cru-les-sentiers-du-clou-blanc","title":"2020 Domaine Henri Prudhon Saint Aubin 1er Cru Les Sentiers du Clou Rouge","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44887781409001,"sku":"118642","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/IMG_9366BackgroundRemoved.png?v=1689703817"},{"product_id":"2021-domaine-larue-saint-aubin","title":"2021 Domaine Larue Saint Aubin","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45067118575849,"sku":"131845","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/IMG_2741BackgroundRemoved.png?v=1689699313"},{"product_id":"2021-domaine-larue-saint-aubin-1er-cru-les-murgers-des-dents-de-chien","title":"2021 Domaine Larue Saint Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien Blanc","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45067118641385,"sku":"131846","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/IMG_2758BackgroundRemoved.png?v=1689699062"},{"product_id":"2020-sylvain-morey-chassange-montrachet-1er-cru-champs-gains-blanc","title":"2020 Domaine Sylvain Morey Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Champs Gains Blanc","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45103084470505,"sku":"135353","price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/IMG_1221BackgroundRemoved.png?v=1689697182"},{"product_id":"2021-le-vendangeur-masque-caravan-vin-de-france-blanc","title":"2021 Le Vendangeur Masque \"Caravan\" Vin de France Blanc","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45137837555945,"sku":"138052","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/IMG_5509BackgroundRemoved.png?v=1689695575"},{"product_id":"2020-alice-et-olivier-de-moor-chablis-1er-cru-mont-de-millieu","title":"2020 Alice et Olivier de Moor Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94pts Neal Martin, Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eï»¿\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 2020 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru comes from a south-facing, warm microclimate; the vines are worked by horse, and for the first time, around half the cuvÃ©e has been in clay amphorae, which Olivier de Moor believes has lent more precision.

Now on their 5th generation, this small family-run domaine has really dialed in their focus, and the wines continue to reach new heights. Meursault is home, so the majority of their wines are from many of the village's best parcels, but they also make a few lieux-dits in an aromatic, whole cluster style within Pommard and Volnay that are equally worth your attention. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe biggest secret to the domaine's success is their choices at harvest and vinification. Winemaker Patrick Essa prefers to harvest much later than his peers, believing that many producers harvest far too early and end up with one dimensional wines that lack the complexity. He strongly believes that extra hang time is needed for full complexity and flavor development and that Meursault's terroir keeps the acid high despite fuller ripeness. After harvest, the whole bunch white grapes go through a long gentle pressing followed by vinification in wood and maturation in barrel for around 18 months, ranging from all neutral to up to 30% new oak depending on the cuvée. Additionally, the wines rest in tanks for a few months before bottling to increase precision, a practice becoming more and more common with the most talented white winemakers in Burgundy, such as Jean-Marc Roulot. The resulting white wines are floral and pure fruited Chardonnays that capture the full expression of Meursault's underlying character. The reds see a large portion of whole clusters (up to 60%) to enhance the finesse and perfume of the domaine's Pommard and Volnay sites, and similarly to the whites, they also go through 18 months of elevage with up to 50% new wood. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThese are truly classic, soulful Burgundies that do not chase fads like extreme reduction or toasty oak and instead focus on elegance, mid-palate weight, and the perfect balance of high acid and ripe, healthy fruit. \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45595524137193,"sku":"176983","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/IMG_7647BackgroundRemoved.png?v=1695411274"},{"product_id":"2021-domaine-buisson-charles-meursault-la-vigne-de-1945","title":"2021 Domaine Buisson Charles \"La Vigne de 1945\" Meursault","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e91-93 Points from Allen Meadows:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e \"This is also pungently reduced with the only perceptible aromas that of wood toast.
