We are very pleased to offer Domaine Borgeot's 2024 burgundies for sale en primeur.  In a vintage that required phenomenal levels of hard work in the vineyards, it seems apparent to us that the ever-energetic Laurent Borgeot yelled "hold my beer!" and rose to the challenge, producing the most amazing set of wines.  We often describe down-to-earth, no-nonsense domaines like  this as 'artisan' domaines, but this year (at the risk of finding ourselves in 'Pseud's Corner') we felt they moved from artisanal to artistry.  In short, the 2024s from Borgeot are wine that everyone should have in their cellar.

In terms of style, the white wines had lots of ripe citrus and even pineapple notes, with silky texture and fresh acidity.  Clos Carbonade, a favourite white burgundy for many of our customers, is outstanding this year.  This walled vineyard with vines averaging 63 years of age produces excellent wines in most years, but we found the '24 one of the best vintages we have tasted. 

Don't let the Carbonade's value distract you from the even greater treasure of the village wine, their flagship white:  the 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes is a super-refined version of itself, with classic Burgundian notes of minerality, hawthorn blossom, and hazelnuts on the nose and palate.  Laurent even paused to fetch us some 'noisettes' from Piedmont that he buys from Hess, the posh cheesemongers in Beaune, which smelt and tasted like the Platonic ideal of a hazelnut, highlighting the precision of aroma in the Chassagne. 

The reds were equally enjoyable, if destined to be enjoyed in the next 3-7 years, with more of a silky character to the tannins than is the norm here and lots of dark, powerful fruit.  The Santenay Vieilles Vignes continues to be a standout for value, but please do give the Beauregard 1er Cru your attention too. 

Offered en primeur, landing early summer 2026.
