  • Paul & Marie Jacqueson

    #
    Jacqueson remains one of the very best domaines in the Chalonnaise, and has a huge domestic following; their wines adorn the list of many of France`s finest restaurants. Based in the village of Rully, the domaine is these days managed by third-generation sister and brother team Marie and Pierre. It`s no wonder the Jacquesons` wines are so good; their fruit come from wonderfully-sited vineyards which they only work by hand, using minimal treatments. Cellar work follows a low-intervention regime, with the judicious use of new oak.

  • Philippe Colin

    #

    It’s hard to avoid the Colin family when you are in Chassagne-Montrachet. Philippe Colin was born into the Colin-Deleger estate, and when his parents retired, Philippe split the vines with his brother Bruno. He set up his own domaine in 2004, out of modern premises on the outskirts of Chassagne-Montrachet. He has always aimed for a style of wine which is elegant and subtle rather weighty and powerful.

  • Pierre Amiot

  • Robert Chevillon

    Domaine Chevillon dates all the way back to the early 1900`s, when Symphorien Chevillon started working 30 acres of vines in Nuits-Saint-Georges. As the Domaine passed down through the generations; their land expanded as they purchased plots in multiple premier crus. Now, over one hundred years down the line, the Domaine is run by Denis and Bertrand and is world renowned for producing wines of finesse and complexity.

  • Taupenot-Merme

    There have been Taupenots and Mermes making wine in Burgundy since as far back as the seventeenth century, and sitting at the head of eight generations of winemakers, Romain Taupenot-Merme was probably always destined to be a winemaker himself. But he started off in finance, and did very well for himself. However, in 1998, at his father’s request, he returned to the family domaine, and in due course took over.

  • Tessier

    #

    In 2005 Arnaud Tessier was catapulted into the driving seat when father Michel died and he and partner Catherine were forced to take responsibility at the domaine with no notice and relatively little experience. Michel used to sell almost everything to negociants, including fairly classy ones like Verget, and they still sell some fruit in bulk. Thankfully they are retaining more and more fruit for themselves.

    The change of generation required a huge amount of effort from Arnaud and Catherine. However, both work like demons and seem to share a delightfully positive outlook on life.

  • Thomas Morey

    Lean, vibrant, high-energy – just like the man himself. The wines of Thomas Morey belong in the same stylistic mould as those of fellow growers Bernard Moreau and Paul Pillot. And while he is new to the Uncorked portfolio, Thomas is not new to Chassagne-Montrachet – there have been Moreys here since 1643. He learned his craft at the side of his father Bernard, and over time developed a very clear winemaking signature all his own.

  • V Dureuil-Janthial

    He is widely hailed as the most outstanding producer anywhere on the Cote Chalonnaise, as adept with Pinot Noir as with Chardonnay. As some Burgundy prices spiral, his remain modest. We often spot other winemakers drinking his wines in restaurants when we visit the region. So why isn’t Vincent Dureuil-Janthial getting wider attention?
