Few estates in Burgundy are as meticulous as this domaine. All their vineyards were certified organic from the outset and now over half are managed biodynamically. Put simply, this approach takes organic farming to the next level and encourages biodiversity in the vineyard to help strengthen the vines. This results in a purer expression of each individual plot, putting a more delicious – and unique – wine in your glass. Les Marconnets is a Premier Cru straddling Beaune and Savigny. Densely planted, steep slopes, iron-rich soils all play their part in making this beautifully nuanced Burgundy. In the cellar, 30% whole bunch fermentation, wild yeasts and ageing in a third new oak add considerable complexity too. Open early and decant.
