This is a Burgundy with a story worth telling. Domaine Gramont’s vineyards sit just outside the boundary with Pommard — one of the Côte de Beaune’s most prestigious villages — which tells you everything about the quality of the terroir. Three parcels, the oldest planted with 70-year-old vines, are beautifully positioned to enjoy all-day sunshine, giving the fruit a depth and concentration that is remarkable for a Hautes-Côtes. But the real talking point is the winemaking: Alban Gramont adds 4% Pinot Beurot — an ancient Burgundian grape closely related to Pinot Gris, rarely seen in the modern era — to enhance the aromatics and add a subtle exotic lift that sets this wine apart from any other Burgundy you’ll try. No new oak, just pure, expressive fruit. The result is a wine of real elegance and individuality — fragrant, silky, and deeply satisfying, with a long, mineral finish that speaks clearly of its exceptional origins. At £24.99, it is outstanding value for Burgundy of this character and provenance.
