Back to basics

It's the story of two brothers who decide to get together and create something that makes sense;

Last year we were delighted to introduce you to this new domaine at Mes Bourgognes. Like us, you loved their wines. In the spring, the first "small" vintages of 2023 were also a hit. So it was naturally with undisguised impatience that we awaited the great cuvées on the superb 2023 vintage. We weren't disappointed :)

But before getting to the heart of the matter, let's go back a few years... This is the story of two brothers who decide to get together and create something that makes sense. It's the story of a return to the roots, to the family land of Côte de Beaune. Well, especially for Romain, who spent a lot of time on the road, from Lebanon to Australia, before returning to France. The story began in 2009, when Jean-Guillaume and Romain, former kids from Aloxe-Corton, decided to set up their own trading house in the heart of Burgundy, in Pommard, not far from where they grew up and where their roots are.

They select the finest grapes, often labelled organic, and work in the simplest way possible: vinification without sulfur, indigenous yeasts, very little intervention, no filtration and a great deal of patience. The grapes are allowed to express themselves and the terroir to infuse.

At Mes Bourgognes, we've been following their adventures from the very beginning. In 2009, we presented their very first wine, a lovely Bourgogne Chardonnay. We lost touch with each other after that, but kept a close eye on each of their vintages. Year after year, we came to appreciate their steady progress. Until the 2022 vintage, which convinced us once and for all that the two brothers had really found their style, their identity. 2023 is another milestone for us, and we're delighted.

This week, we present the full range of 11 cuvées. Both the whites (Rully, Chorey, Corton Charlemagne) and the reds (Bourgogne, Cotes de Nuits, Aloxe-Corton, Chorey, Pernand, Corton...) seduce us with their energy, purity and brilliance. These are wines that ring true, reflecting the quest for authenticity of these two brothers, together, at home, where they belong.
