Product description
2019 Bourgogne Chardonnay AOC Domaine Confuron-Gindre – En Primeur is now available to purchase. Please click here to email us your wish-list at privatecellars@davy.co.uk.
Confuron-Gindre are based in Vosne Romanée and are run by Claudine and François Confuron, with increasing input from their son Edouard. They have a growing reputation and produce serious wines that are often dense and have excellent ageing potential, partly due to the cool cellars resulting in a longer malolactic fermentation and wines that knit together tightly. The ripeness of 2019 means that these wines will be accessible ‘on the fruit’ relatively young, but the structure and dark, elegant fruits will reward patience. Edouard’s influence has seen some whole-bunch fermentation in the winemaking and new oak is used in varying degrees across the range but is always wonderfully integrated and harmonious.
“Bottled in September 2019 after one year in oak barrels (20% new), this has a viscous mouthfeel and is well-balanced on the palate with ripe fruit and a nutty complexity showing through even at this early stage. Savoury and deep but bright and fresh as well.”
