Domaine Gérard Peirazeau et Fils, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Hauts Doix 2020
Old Vines on the Flank of Les Amoureuses

Perched on the immediate northern edge of the fabled Les Amoureuses, Les Hauts Doix is one of Chambolle's quietest treasures. The site is a study in tension: generous sun exposure tempered by the cooling influence of the underground "high springs," lending a mineral spine to Chambolle's celebrated silk. In the warm, concentrated 2020 vintage, this natural coolness proved invaluable—reining in the solar ripeness to deliver a wine of deep colour and remarkable freshness. The result is pure Chambolle lace: perfumed, fine-boned and impeccably balanced, with a mineral-etched finish that echoes long after the glass is empty.

Domaine Gérard Peirazeau et Fils, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2019
The Graceful Grand Cru of the Gevrey Hill

The southernmost Grand Cru of Gevrey-Chambertin, Charmes is prized for the most charming and approachable wines of the hill—silk where its illustrious neighbours offer iron. The challenge is consistency: across this sprawling 30-hectare appellation, quality swings wildly. Laurent Peirazeau's tiny production sidesteps that lottery, capturing the climat at its peak. And he had the perfect canvas in 2019—a drought vintage of minuscule yields and thick-skinned berries that delivered profound concentration while miraculously preserving freshness. The result clothes Gevrey's underlying structure in Charmes' famous velvet: a wine of generous, perfumed red fruit, real Grand Cru depth, and a long, seamless finish.

Domaine Gérard Peirazeau et Fils, Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Genavrières 2020
A Stone's Throw from Clos de la Roche

Les Genavrières sits on the very same hillside as Clos de la Roche, directly above the Grand Cru's southern edge—indeed, as that legendary climat was progressively expanded, it absorbed the lower part of this slope, leaving Genavrières as the 1er Cru that came within a whisker of grand cru status. True to its position, the wine is pure Morey: a bridge between Gevrey's structural depth and Chambolle's aromatic grace. The 2020 vintage was made for this cool, upper-slope site—warm, concentrated days reined in by crisp mountain nights, yielding a Pinot of taut energy, deep colour and the kind of structural backbone built to reward a decade or more in the cellar.

Domaine Gérard Peirazeau et Fils, Morey-Saint-Denis Blanc 2022
A Rare White from a Red-Wine Village

Morey-Saint-Denis is celebrated for its powerful Pinot Noirs—its whites are made in vanishingly small quantities, making this Chardonnay a true insider's prize. Far from the rich, buttery style of the southern Côte de Beaune, it offers something more thrilling: the breeding of a great Côte de Nuits site channelled into a white of crystalline purity and cut. The warm, sun-blessed 2022 vintage was made for this cool, chalky terroir—lending ripeness and flesh to the wine's lean frame while preserving a nervy, salt-laced energy. The result seamlessly balances stone-fruit generosity with mineral tension and remarkable drive.

Benoit Girardin, Chassagne-Montrachet 2022
Power and Polish, a Sun-Blessed Vintage

Home to some of the most prestigious Burgundy Blanc, Chassagne-Montrachet yields, from its finest clay-and-limestone plots, Chardonnays of legendary status. Benoit Girardin has masterfully selected a prime one-hectare parcel to craft a classic, powerful Chassagne Blanc. The sun-blessed 2022 vintage—one of the great recent white years—lends generous ripeness without sacrificing freshness, yielding a broader, more muscular profile than its Puligny neighbours, with intense fruit depth framed by refined aromatic complexity.

Benoit Girardin, Pommard 1er Cru Les Charmots 2022
The Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove

Classic Pommard has a reputation for being fiercely powerful, tannic and rustic—but Les Charmots breaks the mould. Sitting on the upper slope towards the Beaune border, this Premier Cru is celebrated for its softer, far more approachable personality. Benoit Girardin coaxes a remarkable charm from this prized site, delivering all the depth of a top-tier Pommard wrapped in a supple, seductive finish.
