Burgundy 2023 En Primeur
The 2023 Burgundy vintage delivers exceptional balance and quality in both reds and whites. Despite an unpredictable growing season – marked by a warm, dry winter, a cooler summer with storms, and a late heat spike – careful vineyard management has resulted in wines with remarkable freshness and elegance. The reds are charming and supple, while the whites are vibrant and pure, each showcasing their terroir with clarity.
With generous yields in 2023, prices have remained largely stable. However, the significantly smaller 2024 vintage (down 10-20% in the Côte de Beaune and up to 80% in Chablis and the Côte de Nuits) is expected to drive prices higher next year.
Securing 2023s now ensures access to top wines at current prices before availability tightens and costs rise due to the reduced supply.
Whites – Exotic & Expressive
Lush and inviting, with ripe fruit and a silky texture. The late summer heat concentrated flavours while preserving freshness, resulting in wines that are rich, energetic, and irresistibly drinkable in their youth.
Reds – Plush & Approachable
Juicy and generous, with fine, silky tannins and classic Pinot Noir character. Higher yields helped moderate the late-season heat, keeping alcohol levels around 13.5%. While instantly appealing, the 2023 reds have the depth and structure to age beautifully.
