  2019 Bourgogne Rouge Cuvée de “Pressonnier”, Domaine Joseph Roty

  £3495

  Brilliant red Burgundy for under £35 is a rare beast these days but this Cuvée de “Pressonnier” Bourgogne Rouge from Joseph Roty does just that. It is made up of various parcels of old vines (the youngest being 35 years old!) the majority of which are from vineyards that were classed as Gevrey-Chambertin until the boundary was moved in 1964.

  In the glass, it shows impressive length and freshness with bright red berry aromas. Elegantly balanced on the palate,
  it builds in intensity revealing lively raspberry and strawberry flavours balanced by fine tannins. Can easily be cellared for a few years. Drink from 2023.

  2019 Volnay, Domaine Rebourgeon-Mure

  £3950

  Rebourgeon has a growing reputation for seriously good pinot noir which is kind of ironic as the families’ winemaking roots can be traced back to 1552!   This 2019 Volnay has a perfect balance of tension, energy and flavour.  It is made from two parcels, one in Les Pluchots planted in the 1920s and one in Les Lurets, half Premier Cru and half Village Cru.

  In the glass, this Volnay has a lovely nose of dark berry fruit with hints of rose petals and blackcurrant.  The palate is medium-bodied with a fine grip, succulent tannins, with a mixture of blue and blackberry fruit  An all-around delicious wine.
