Domaine Arnaud Baillot
Arnaud Baillot wasn’t born into a winemaking family, as is the case with so many generations-deep Burgundy domaines. He is a winemaker by choice, bringing a new energy and passion to this tradition-steeped region.
Domaine Eric Boigelot
Nestled between the ruddy elegance of Volnay and the nutty intensity of Meursault, Monthélie just may be the Côte de Beaune’s best-kept secret, a source of mineral-rich whites and soulful reds in equal measure. Winemaker Charles Boigelot is a young talent already making serious waves in greater Burgundy.
Domaine Barolet-Pernot
Romain Barolet-Pernot, the family’s fourth generation, has in a few short years turned this modest winery into one of the region’s up-and-coming stars. A more organic approach in the fields has transformed the family’s wines to better reflect Saint-Romain’s terroir soul, its stony energy and high-altitude freshness, like a polished mirror.
Domaine de la Pousse d’Or
Domaine de la Pousse d’Or has for decades been the collector’s choice for expressive and memorable wines from Burgundy’s most hallowed terroirs. This historic estate is one of the Burgundian elite, in a similar realm of such exclusive wineries like Romanée-Conti and Comte de Vogüé, with its strict selection and seamless winemaking.
Remoissenet Père et Fils
In 2005, Remoissenet started the next chapter in its generations-long history. With new owners and renewed leadership under Pierre-Antoine Rovani (formerly of the Wine Advocate), the estate is bringing more vineyards under its own roof and importantly, raising the qualitative bar for itself and its vine-growing partners across the board.
Domaine Etienne Delarche
Delarche Burgundy offers a clarity and purity of flavor that is captivating. Whites are creamy and concentrated, taking a cue from grand cru Corton-Charlemagne; reds are spicy and refined, delicious from the moment they’re bottled to years later, when you pop the cork on a perfectly cellared grand cru.
Domaine Boyer-Martenot
Vincent Boyer is an anomaly—a hard-working, hands-in-the soil grower focused on quality in an appellation where many wineries have hired enologists and coasted on Meursault’s reputation. Domaine Boyer-Martenot is a family winery where the wine in the bottle unquestionably lives up to its noble appellation.
Domaine Bourgogne-Devaux
The Bourgogne-Devaux family has made its home in these vine-covered hills since the late 1800s. Winemaker Luc Bourgogne (a name more than suitable for a local winemaker) represents the fourth generation in Meloisey to care for vines and craft wines from the family’s many older-vine plots.
Domaine Bouard-Bonnefoy
This winemaking family represents a Burgundy we thought long gone, but really the Bouard-Bonnefoy clan embodies the sort of artisanal spirit to which we’ve always been drawn in our three decades of visiting the Côte d’Or. What Chassagne’s many beautiful vineyards offer, the Bouard-Bonnefoys capture faithfully—these are wines that astound with their pure aromas, their deep flavors and their ability to seduce from the very first sip.
