"Cask sample. Lightish crimson. Fresh raspberry fruit and a little bit dusty. Nicely sweet-fruited on the palate, juicy and easy and good depth for the appellation. Smooth-textured tannins.”

One of Burgundy’s most highly-regarded estates, the 20 acres of Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron are now controlled by Sophie Meunier-Confuron and her husband Alain Meunier. They took over from Sophie’s father in 1988, and converted all parcels to organic viticulture in 1990. The wines are brilliant examples of the concept of ‘power without weight’, with great depth of flavours wrapped up in refinement and elegance. The entire range is outstanding here – the Côte de Nuits-Villages ‘les Vignottes’ is a tremendous value for the quality, and their Romanée-Saint Vivant is a reference standard for one of the most refined of all Grand Crus.
They are blessed with excellent parcels of 1er Cru and Village vines in Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny and Nuits-St. Georges, plus two great Grand Crus – the Romanée-St. Vivant and Clos Vougeot. Alain’s style is one of supreme grace and elegance.
The vineyards come from Sophie’s side of the family, and were once part of the Charles Noellat domaine. With the sale of part of the domaine to Leroy and the splitting off of pieces, the Confuron, Leroy, and Hudelot-Noëllat parcels exist side by side in several of the appellations. Confuron farms organically, Leroy farms Biodynamically, and Hudelot-Noëllat treats their vines ‘conventionally’ – making it fascinating to see these parcels one next to the other.
It's important to remember that taste is subjective, and personal preferences play a significant role.
