Burgundy Region |
| This is the Holy Land of wine. Although the Romans brought viticulture to the region, it was the centuries of careful experimentation, exploration and observation by the Benedictine monks which led to the creation of the great Burgundies we know today - Gevrey-Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot, Vosne Rosmanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges – to name a few. The monks discovered the best grape variety for each tiny plot of land, revealing the mysteries in a complex patchwork of tiny terroirs, each with its own natural character, or “expression”, as the French say. The wines beguile the amateur and fascinate the professional, but the landscape is also magical – a compact area of rugged escarpments and gentle hills, small villages and quiet roads, Burgundy is as enchanting as its wines. |

Domaine Séguinot-Bordet Vineyard
Code: WWXSEGU
Chablis is one of the most famous wines in the world. It is steely and dry and, like all fine white Burgundy, made from Chardonnay grapes. It is also an expression of the unique character of the Kimmeridgian clay on which the vines are grown. Our exclusive Chablis made by Domaine Séguinot-Bordet is made from vines planted in the 1930’s. The combination of old vines and lees ageing results in a rich, complex wine with a delightful bouquet, a spicy palate and lots of ripe fruit. It is complemented by his Premier Cru Chablis from the well-known Fourchaume vineyard.

Domaine Dubois Vineyard
Code: WWXDUBO
The Dubois family are a highly-skilled and charming family who are widely respected for the consistency and quality of their wines. Winemaker Béatrice Dubois is also a ‘flying winemaker’, regularly jetting off to help make wine in Chile and Australia! They make wines with many famous names from the Côte d’Or region of Burgundy, and our exclusive cuvée is from the renowned Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation. It is a fairly tannic wine, but with a smooth, velvety texture that carries the rich fruit onto the palate and has a powerful bouquet of red fruits and a touch of spice and vanilla. It is paired with another exclusive wine, a Côtes de Nuits-Villages, with a slightly softer expression showing flavours of blackcurrant and a hint of liquorice.

Domaine Jacob Vineyard
Code: WWXJACO
Located in the picturesque little village of Échevronne, where the vineyards are interspersed by wildflower meadows beneath gentle crags, Domaine Jacob is becoming widely recognised as one of the “rising stars of the Burgundy firmament” and their constant award-winning wines are testament to this. Our three vineyard options offer a range of elegant reds from the Pinot Noir grape showing smooth tannins and strawberry fruit, including an elegant Gevrey-Chambertin which is accompanied by an oak-aged Chardonnay of which Jean-Michel is particularly proud. The Beaune Premier Cru comes from the Les Avaux vineyard which is considered to be one of the very best Premier Cru sites – indeed, 15% of it is owned by the famous Hospice de Beaune.

Domaine Chevrot Vineyard
Code: WWXCHEV
Red geraniums flowing from old clay pots surround the charming 18th Century farmhouse of this beautiful domaine. The welcome Partners receive when visiting Domaine Chevrot is as first-rate as the wines – wonderful classic Burgundies which over the years have won many medals at London’s International Wine Challenge. Maranges was granted Appellation Controlée status in 1989 in recognition of the superior quality of the wine from three small communes to the west of Santenay, where it produces well-structured wines with a depth of fruit sufficient to withstand a judicious amount of ageing in oak barrels. Our exclusive cuvee, Le Bois de Clémentine, has a complex, well-balanced red fruit flavour with an elegant ‘oaky’ dimension at the end.

Domaine Pillot Vineyard
Code: WWXPILL
Mercurey is the most important appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise and our exclusive En Sazenay was the first-ever wine from the Côte Chalonnaise to win a Gold Medal at the International Wine Challenge. It is a top-quality red Burgundy characterised by its aromas of black cherries, hints of toasty oak, and soft and supple tannins. Our other vineyard option, Clos des Montaigus, was one of the five original Mercurey Premier Cru vineyards to be designated in 1923 – so we consider ourselves very fortunate to be able to offer Partners their own exclusive Premier Cru wine from this region.
