Clos de la Perrière in Fixin, Côte de Nuits, was founded in 1142 by Cistercian monks from Cîteaux, who recognized the exceptional terroir and planted vines on its limestone-rich slopes. The estate remained under monastic cultivation for nearly 500 years before passing through several families. In 1853, the Joliet family acquired the entire 5-hectare monopole, and for seven generations they have preserved and refined its legacy. Today, Bénigne Joliet leads the domaine, practicing sustainable viticulture and meticulous parcel-by-parcel vinification. The estate produces both red and white wines from this unique clos, which many experts consider worthy of Grand Cru status due to its history, terroir, and consistent quality.

Domaine Leflaive, based in Puligny-Montrachet in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, traces its roots back to 1717 when Claude Leflaive settled in the village, but its modern form was shaped by Joseph Leflaive (1870–1953), a naval engineer who purchased 25 hectares of vineyards in 1905 during the post-phylloxera downturn; beginning in 1920, he replanted with better rootstocks and gradually built a reputation for exceptional Chardonnay, particularly from grands crus like Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, and Bâtard-Montrachet; under later generations, the domaine became a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture, fully converting in 1996, and today it spans about 24 hectares, including significant premier and grand cru holdings, producing some of the most sought-after and highly regarded white wines in the world.

Tasting Notes
The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis En la Rue Vergy bides its time in the glass, opening with scents of cranberry, white-tipped strawberry and some black fruit, a deft touch of tobacco in the background. The palate sashays along nicely: fine tannins, well-judged acidity, sure, with some new oak (30%) to be subsumed with bottle age. Yet there is plenty of fruit to soak that up, and there is tangible frisson on the finish.
About Winery
After a winter 2021-2022 with normal temperatures and rainfall, early spring 2022 was relatively cool, bringing about a timid start to the growing season and avoiding damage linked to frost in early April. From mid-April, temperatures rose very quickly and vegetation exploded into life. The rest of spring remained on this dynamic with high temperatures and notable sunshine. Flowering started at end May and developed rapidly thanks to the very favourable weather conditions. So, harvest 2022 was already promising to be very early, following in the tracks of vintage 2020. Rainfall was scarce in April/May, but the season was rescued by a very important accumulation of rainwater through June, notably from the storm on 21st June, whose epicentre passed through Gevrey. Thanks to this salutary rainfall, vine growth showed no sign of water stress through to harvest, despite a summer that was again very hot, dry and sunny. As a feature of these hot, dry conditions, mildew and botrytis became rare with only oidium applying certain pressure, but vine healthiness remained excellent through to harvest.
Harvesting began at the domain on 3rd September on the Côte and ended on 17th September in the Hautes-Côtes. The very good grape cluster formation in spring 2022, coupled with a lovely growing season without climatic incident, brought a very good crop in terms of quantity and quality. Again, grape healthiness was excellent and sorting mainly concerned those bunches where ripeness was not fully achieved.
The style of vintage 2022 once more reveals an aromatic profile of high maturity, comparable to vintage 2019, but with fruit that is even more present. The wines are both ample and rich, with lovely balance of acidity, silky tannins and explosive fruit. The whole range of wines already offers immediate tasting pleasure and the higher appellations will gain from patience over some years in cellar.
