Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated domain (2023 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that sets the standard in its sector)

About the domain :

After graduating in viticulture and oenology, Jean-Marc Burgaud settled in Morgon on the Côte de Py in 1989. Today, he owns 17 hectares in four appellations, Beaujolais-Villages red and white, Régnié and Morgon, the latter representing 11.80 hectares. Jean-Marc Burgaud is a discreet winegrower, but just mention his name in the vineyard and you'll quickly realize that his reputation precedes him.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Vin noté 90/100 (Millésime 2015) (Vin formidable)

Rated domain (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About the domain :

For several years running, I've noticed that Jean-Marc Burgaud is a winemaker at the top of his game, and his success in meeting the challenges of the 2021 vintage is just further proof of that. These are some of the most delicious wines produced in the region today, and they're all the better for Burgaud's move away from new oak to dry wood, and his pursuit of gentler extraction than in the past, with his semi-classic - carbonic maceration lasting 7 to 15 days depending on the cuvée. And there is only one bottling of each wine, which gives a rare homogeneity, even for its 4.3 hectares in Beaujolais-Lantignié (one of the region's finest values, by the way).

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Rated domain (2023 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning connoisseurs.)

About the domain :

Since the creation of his domaine in 1989, Jean-Marc Burgaud has become a firm fixture in our guide. From his apprenticeship in Burgundy, he has learned to work in cuvées parcellaires, to age the grapes over two winters, and to destem the grapes according to the year and the wine. His vinification always brings a velvety look to the Gamay, set by barrel ageing (very little new) adjusted to each climate (the majority being located on different Morgon terroirs). He also produces régnié and beaujolais-villages on the granite soils of Lantignié. The style has opened up over time, without losing sight of the expression of the place.

Note and review by M. PIERRE K. Published on 26/07/2018

On the nose, wild strawberry jumps out, followed by blueberry, finishing with a hint of sweet spice that gives depth to the wine. The attack is very lively, with acidity still taking the upper hand. The tannins are light. A bottle that would benefit from waiting 1? to 2 years, I think.
