“A fermage, with a mix of vine ages. One third new wood, 40% whole bunch vinification. Mid purple, just a little chocolate with the dark red fruit on the nose. Continues on the palate, mixed happily with the white pepper and the dark raspberry. Just enough acidity, still some tannins but they are fine grained. A fine clean long finish. Drink from 2028-2034. 91pts.”
Edouard Confuron hails from the 6 generation family Domaine, Confuron-Gindre, located on Rue de La Tâche. While working with his father, François Confuron-Gindre, he has slowly – and successfully, created his own distinct style of wines now presented through his own micro-domaine. The 2021 vintage is the first formal representation of Edouard’s personal range of wines. He handpicks grapes from a selection of his father’s plots across Vosne-Romanee, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Nuits St Georges.
