Domaine Bertrand Ambroise

"The domaine of Bertrand Ambroise was established in the late 18th century in the village of Primeaux-Prissey, just north of Nuits Saint-Georges. Today the estate has expanded to 42 acres which are worked diligently by Bertrand and his family. Bertrand produces some of the finest examples of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Burgundy. He often works with 10%-30% lower yields than are allowed. His genuine passion only to produce wines from absolutely ripe grapes demands a severe green harvest and an additional inspection or sorting of the fruit prior to fermentation. All of this detail work has created a worldwide demand for his wines. The style of Bertrand’s wines can be characterized as ripe, deeply extracted, full bodied wines. This Bourgogne bottling is vinified in stainless steel and shows crisp apple, pear flavors as well as classic mineral tones." -- Robert Kacher Selections

Domaine Chauvenet-Chopin

"We first began working with the family Chopin in the 1987 vintage, with Daniel Chopin of Domaine Chopin-Groffier in Comblanchien. Daniel’s daughter soon married vigneron Hubert Chauvenet, forming the Domaine Chauvenet-Chopin. The two families combined their vineyard holdings, many of them planted with very old vines, with eight hectares from the Chopin side adding to the nine already owned by Chauvenet. Daniel continued to work along side and help his son-in-law until 1996, when he officially “retired”. Daniel is still helping out in the vineyards, but Hubert is now solely responsible for the winemaking. Continuing in the style of his father-in-law, Hubert is crafting classic wines with fine delicacy of fruit and rich complexity. The barrel regiment Hubert uses includes a little more new oak than before, but not too much. Roughly one-third new barrels are used for the Village and Premier Crus, and up to two-thirds for the Grand Cru. Always supple, opulent, seductive, and fruit-driven, the offerings from Chauvenet-Chopin are friendly, smile-inducing wines." -- Robert Kacher Selections

Domaine Christophe Cordier

"Christophe Cordier is one of the hottest winemakers in Burgundy. The domaine is located in Fuissé and is renowned for making first class wines from fruit grown in only the best terroirs or sites. Christophe believes the work begins with low yields, hand harvesting only physiologically ripe fruit and intervening as little as possible. Harvest usually starts at the end of September and lasts through the middle of October. All of the wines made here are fermented in wood which allows for the sublime flavor integration. The wines found here all express intense and focused aromatics while concentrated, impeccably balanced rich, long flavors take over in the mouth. The wines from Pouilly Fuissé are often thought to rival and surpass many of the top level wines found in the Côte de Beaune and at a fraction of the price." -- Robert Kacher Selections

Domaine Jayer-Gilles

"Domaine Jayer-Gilles is run by the very talented Gilles Jayer who took over for his father Robert Jayer in 1998. The estate is collected around the world and very scarce. The total allocation for the United States of this wine is around 350 cases. Gilles take the same care for his Aligoté as he does for his more famous appellations. Most growers’ yields for Aligoté are around 3 tons per acre while Gilles prunes so severely that he never harvests more than 2.2 tons per acre. The astounding quality of this wine is proof of the commitment to quality of the entire estate. This wine expresses the full potential of the grape with well defined mineral and spicy orchard fruit and touches of creamy oak. The wine is bright and fresh and can be enjoyed with all foods the pair well with Chardonnay." -- Robert Kacher Selections

Domaine Laleur Piot

"The Domaine Laleure-Piot has made its home for three centuries in the heart of the charming village of Pernand-Vergelesses, a small jewel of the Côte de Beaune region. Nowadays, it is run by Frédéric Laleure, who represents the fifth generation of the family. This Domaine extends over more than ten hectares and envelops fifteen different appellations, offering the complete palette of Pernand-Vergelesses, from the simple "Village" appellation to the famous "Grands Crus" and the best "Premiers Crus". The thirty year-old grapevines are the object of the most careful attentions to guarantee the Domaine a healthy harvest and well-concentrated juices. The grapes are all hand-picked and meticulously sorted. The red wines are heavily controlled during their vinification. After a lengthy cold maceration to extract fruit and freshness, the longer, steady fermentation begins, perfecting the work and revealing the deep colors of the wine. The wine is grown for 11 months in high-quality oak barrels originating from the forests of central France and the Nivernais region (of which 15% are new). “Les Champs Longs” is a small vineyard with soil made of clay and limestone. This deeply colored Chorey-les-Beaune offers red berries aromas. It is very fresh and long." -- Robert Kacher Selections

Domaine Marc Morey

"Domaine Marc Morey is located in the heart of the Côte d’Or, in the center of the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. Although the Morey family name can be traced back for more than five generations in Chassagne, it was in the 1950’s that Marc Morey established this domaine. He constructed the original cave beneath the family’s 100 year-old home and began vinifying his own wines. His daughter Marie-Jo and her husband Bernard Mollard are the current proprietors. They now own almost 10 hectares of Villages, Premier and Grand Cru vineyards and have twice expanded the domaine and modernized the vinification equipment. Bernard and Marie-Jo’s daughter is studying oenology and has joined her parents to work the estate." -- Robert Kacher Selections

Domaine Denis Pommier

"Domaine Denis Pommier was established in 1990 with the inheritance of 2.5 hectares of established vines in Chablis and Chablis 1er Cru from his grandfather. Today the estate is 11 hectares large and includes Petit Chablis. Denis takes great care in the vineyards and farms using only natural products. In the winery he uses both stainless steel and barrel fermentation depending on the vineyard site. The Petite Chablis is fermented and matured in tank while the Chablis AOC has about 20% barrel fermentation and around 40% for the Beauroy and Côte de Léchet premier cru wines. The style of Pommier is very fresh with high toned aromatics and a rich, complete, plush mouth feel. Throughout the range the purity and elegance of Chablis is never lost, enjoy." -- Robert Kacher Selections
