A. et P. De Villaine
The Côte Chalonnaise, the secret garden of Aubert de Villaine
When we think of Aubert de Villaine, we can't help but think of the prestigious Romanée-Conti estate, of which he is one of the two co-managers. The famous winemaker invested in 1971 with his wife, Paméla, in a small estate in Bouzeron, the first village on the Côte Chalonnaise south of Beaune, located between Santenay, Rully and Mercurey, which has now become the flagship of the appellation.

Arnaud Lopez
Nous sommes extrêmement fiers aujourd’hui de vous présenter le dernier millésime d’un des vignerons les plus talentueux de Bourgogne. Pour autant, personne ou presque ne le connait. Pourtant, Arnaud Lopez n’est pas ce que l’on appelle un « jeune talent en devenir ». Non, Arnaud est un homme d’expérience qui a déjà eu plusieurs vies.
Originaire de Nuits Saint George, où il a grandi en plein coeur des prestigieux terroirs de Côte de Nuits, c’est comme éducateur qu’Arnaud Lopez débute sa carrière. Sa sensibilité et sa débrouillardise, il les met au service des autres. Et puis, à 35 ans, il décide de prendre un grand virage et se reconvertit dans la vigne. En 2007, il rejoint alors le célèbre domaine Prieuré Roch.
Après dix ans à bichonner les belles parcelles de ce domaine légendaire, il se dit qu’il est temps de faire ses propres essais. Auprès d’amis viticulteurs bios, il récupère quelques jolis raisins et sort ses premières micro cuvées en 2018. Pour nous, c’est une révélation. L’intensité des vins est incroyable ! Ses 2019 confirmeront notre première impression : ce garçon a un don spécial.
Les 2020 que nous vous présentons aujourd’hui sont donc son troisième millésime. Comme les deux précédents, ce sont des vins profonds, intenses et d’une énergie rare. Il faut dire qu’Arnaud Lopez est un homme de principes qui ne déroge à aucune des règles qu’il s’est fixées : tous ses raisins sont issus de vignes cultivées en bio par des vignerons dont il est proche ; c’est lui qui taille les vignes qu’il vendangera quelques mois plus tard ; tout au long de l’année, il intervient sur la conduite de ces vignes qu’il surveille d’un oeil attentif ; une fois les raisins arrivés à pleine maturité, il les vinifie en grappes entières, sans aucun intrant, ni aucun bois neuf ; il privilégie les longues macérations et minimise les interventions. Il en résulte des vins uniques, à la fois denses et minéraux, agréables en jeunesse mais clairement construits pour aller loin dans le temps.
Vous l’aurez compris, nous sommes vraiment très enthousiastes lorsque nous nous remémorons les moments passés avec un verre de Pinot Noar ou de Lazaro à la main. Malheureusement, Arnaud Lopez étant toujours salarié chez Prieuré Roch, son micro domaine Pinot Noar (verlant de Arno, vous aviez suivi ?), n’est pas son activité principale. Il ne produit donc, pour le moment, que très, très peu de bouteilles. Si nous avons eu la chance d’obtenir une jolie allocation, nous sommes conscients qu’il n’y en aura malheureusement pas pour tout le monde. Mais pour que le plus grand nombre d’entre vous puisse goûter ces nectars, nous avons limité les achats à une seule bouteille par personne. Nous vous demandons de scrupuleusement respecter cette règle. Toute commande doublée sera annulée. Merci de votre compréhension. -

The Great Terroirs of Côte de Nuits
The famous Bruno Clair estate is one of the recognized references of Côte de Nuits thanks in particular to its prestigious appellations: Bonnes-Mares, Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques and of course the grandiose Chambertin Clos de Bèze which stands out each year as one of the most beautiful successes of its name.

Chenu louis & filles
"Louis Chenu Père & Filles is a family winery in Savigny-les-Beaune, Burgundy. We have been working the vine and producing wine for five generations now. This wine is part of the family and is very dear to us. The first parcels of vineyard were bought by Louis Chenu in 1914 and are today worked by his great grandson Louis Chenu with the help of his wife and daughters. We are constantly aware of the importance of respecting the vineyard, the quality of the wine and providing a warm welcome for customers who visit our cellars. Juliette and Caroline have been working as a team for a number of years to strengthen and build on the quality of the wines."

Comtes Lafon
The treasures of the Côte de Beaune arrived at Mes Bourgognes Beaune this week. We are proud to present to you the latest vintage from one of Meursault's most emblematic winemakers: Dominique Lafon.
Dominique Lafon took over from his father to the family estate in 1984. He is a wine grower of principles, fundamentally attached to the land, to quality and respect for the soil, but also to the traditions inherited from his ancestors. He wanted to switch to organic very early on, quickly renouncing weedkillers and choosing to return to working the soil essential to the expression of the terroirs. Dominique Lafon is even one of the pioneers of biodynamics in Burgundy since he chose to make his first trials in 1995 before switching all of his 16 hectares to biodynamics in 1998. And of course, the result is there.
Dominique Lafon is also recognized for perpetuating the Burgundian tradition in winemaking, but in a very refined style where the objective is always to make speak the terroirs and this vine which they have pampered for months with his team. For this, no forced extraction or bodybuilt aging, Dominique favors aging on lees and plays wonderfully on reduction in order to produce straight, stretched and precise wines.
In terms of aging, it is with the same rigor and this experience acquired over the vintages that he works to give power, intensity and depth to his wines and in particular his splendid Premier Crus. Meursault de Dominique expresses their terroirs with moving accuracy.

Dhumes François
Jus de Volcan et belle intuition
François Dhumes, c'est la discrétion incarnée. Vous ne l'entendrez jamais hurler, jamais interpeller ni vociférer. C'est dans la vigne que cet Auvergnat se sent dans son élément.

Maison En Belles Lies
LET US HELP THE VINE GROWERS WE LOVE
We are all undergoing this very special period of confinement today. The health crisis is terrible, but we hope to get out of this situation as soon as possible. We speak every day with our winemakers who tell us about their concern about the economic recovery on the eve of the release of their new vintage.
I have thought about our ability to help the wine industry which is dear to us, that of rigorous artisan winegrowers in their efforts and who offer us year after year wines that enchant us. These are the most fragile.
So I decided to offer you wines from certain domains for the first time at the expense of our usual commercial margin and without any economic impact for our winemakers.
I therefore suggest:
Buy now the wines from the estate offered, which you pay immediately with a nice 10% discount.
From May 15, 2020, you can collect your orders directly at the store where we will ship.
Thanks to your early settlement, we will settle the areas directly without any delay in payment, a real breath of fresh air essential for the good continuity of their operations.
Today, we are offering you within this framework of early purchase the wines of Pierre Fenals, Maison en Belles Lies.
SPECTACULAR 2018!
For his tenth vintage, Pierre presents spectacular wines over a solar year comparable to his first vintage 2009. Adept at perfect phenolic ripeness, the harvest began at the estate in late August and until September 23, well after some who harvest very early at the expense of the quality of the grapes.
The result is final. The reds are ample, deep with a texture and silky that fill the mouth. Eight appellations are presented to you. From the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, gourmet and accessible in full youth, to the rare and grandiose Corton Lieu-dit Charlemagne. Each wine fully expresses its terroir. They are large reds suitable for good aging.
What can we say about the whites except that they made us travel back in time during our tasting. Again, the material is impressive, rich, opulent, but not heavy. These are old-style Burgundy whites that will last over time, on wealth, and which remind us of major years like 1983, 1986 or 1992. It is thanks to whites of this style that our beautiful region has builds its reputation.

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey
The treasures of Saint-Aubin arrived at Mes Bourgognes Beaune this week. The wines of Pierre-Yves Colin are today part of the excellence of the Côte de Beaune and he himself is recognized as one of the most talented winemakers of his generation. With respect for the land and precise aging, its wines stand out vintage after vintage by their depth, their finesse and their ability to reveal each terroir with great accuracy.
