A debutant in our offer this year, 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. In ripe vintages such as 2018 they have a beautiful purity of fruit that will mean that ageing in cellars for lengthy periods will not necessarily be required! 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.
“Les Beaumonts is well exposed to the sun and this is apparent in the fullness and warmth of this wine. Rounded with red plums and blueberries shining through, this will give enormous pleasure.”
