1 2002 Red and White Burgundy In-Bond An excellent quality vintage in a ripe and alluring style Orders by Post, Fax and Website only by 5pm, Friday 12th March 2004 OVERVIEW Domaine Jean Grivot produced its best ever wine in is an excellent vintage for both red and white wines. Furthermore it is consistently good from bourgognes up to grand crus. Stylistically it is alluringly ripe and concentrated. Yields are the lowest since Prices have risen a little, mainly because of the strength of the euro, and the prospect of a short 2003 vintage (down 30-50% on a normal crop), but we consider they are justified by the high quality. We think Burgundy still represents good value for money and recommend that Burgundy lovers should purchase this vintage. RED WINES The warm and dry year has produced fully ripe and healthy grapes, often with small berries and thick skins. The wines are deeply coloured with impressive density on the palate and sweet tannins. Rarely is Burgundy as round and succulent as this. WHITE WINES The white grapes in 2002 were fully ripe, had high levels of both sugar and acidity, and good structure from thick skins. This produces exceptionally well-constituted wines. This is the best white vintage since THE WEATHER With some dramatic storms and flooding at vintage time in parts of southern France, it was northern France that had the best of the weather in 2002, with Loire, Champagne and Burgundy particularly favoured. Indeed, it was a drought year in Burgundy, where water restrictions were imposed and wells ran dry. But the deeprooted vine did not suffer it thrived. In all it was a trouble-free growing season, warmer and drier than average. Flowering was early but took place in cool weather, resulting in some beneficial millerandage (imperfect fertilisation resulting in berries which remain small). The only worries came in August and the beginning of September when overcast and cooler weather, with some rain, caused the vine to lose its advance and fall behind the normal ripening schedule. But the weather changed dramatically from 12th September to sunny, dry weather with a north wind which would last until the beginning of October. Maturity caught up and the dry wind concentrated the grapes, increasing both sugar and acidity. The vintage began officially on the 16th September in the Côte de Beaune and the grapes were harvested in ideal conditions. BU0204/2 February 2004

2 OUR SELECTION We spent four weeks in Burgundy during October and November visiting over 70 producers. This year we are buying from six producers new to The Wine Society. A brief description of each follows. Beautifully situated on a wooded hill overlooking the village of Fuissé is the Château des Rontets. They make concentrated wines from low yields from their six hectares of vineyards, the oldest of which date from the 1920s. Etienne de Montille, from whose magnificent family domaine we started buying last year, is now also managing the Château de Puligny. He has cut yields radically and the results are excellent. Comte Armand s Domaine des Epeneaux is making fabulous Pommard from its wonderful walled vineyard Clos des Epeneaux, which it owns exclusively. Sylvain Cathiard is a new star grower in Vosne. A change of generation at the helm of two family domaines in Gevrey has resulted in a huge step up in quality. Domaine Fourrier is now managed by Jean- Marie Fourrier who makes ethereal wines from a marvellous legacy of old vines. Domaine Drouhin-Laroze, now led by Phillippe Drouhin, has an extraordinary domaine from which we are buying a superlative grand cru Chambertin Clos de Bèze. SOME ADVICE We would advise you to buy the best Burgundy you can afford. Quality rises disproportionately over price as one moves from bourgogne to village to premier cru. Supply and demand influences pricing at grand cru level but if you want the very best this is the summit. We think Gevrey-Chambertin is an over-performing village which has made wonderful wines in We have an excellent list of Gevrey producers who make a wide range of styles. Listed in style order (not quality) from the most powerful to the most elegant they are: Denis Mortet, Domaine de la Vougeraie, Alain Burguet, Drouhin-Laroze, Maume, Denis Bachelet and Fourrier. When demand exceeds supply Demand for the top wines is likely to be high. We share out oversubscribed wines as widely as possible down to a minimum practical level per member. Please be aware that some wines will still sell out. Should your first choice be sold out, please indicate on the order form your preferred substitute. Alternatively, you can allow The Society to choose for you. Allowing substitution and/or suggesting a preferred alternative will help to increase the likelihood of receiving wines in a similar style should your first choice be sold out. We will only substitute with wines that we believe to be of similar quality to those requested. How this offer works Orders by post, fax and website will be accepted.

15 IN-BOND PRICE, UK DELIVERED BU23761 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Perrières, Clos de la Mouchère, Domaine Jean Boillot As ever, low yields from old vines (76 years of age) are the secrets of all great wines, including this excellent monopole Clos de la Mouchère, which is an enclave of Perrières BU26021 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru La Garenne, Etienne Sauzet This is a very successful La Garenne. High on the slope on thin soil, this is a tight, mineral style of Puligny given just a little extra fat in the ripe 2002 vintage. Very good BU25721 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Folatières, Moret-Nominé Prime Puligny premier cru situated high up the slope offering an elegant but persistent wine BU25761 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Folatières, Château de Puligny Folatières is quintessential Puligny: fine but not austere, concentrated but not heavy BU24031 Meursault Premier Cru Genevrières, Louis Jadot The epitome of the appellation. Golden coloured and opulently flavoured Meursault which cries out for decadent food capons and sweetbreads for example! Irresistible BU24021 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Folatières, Louis Jadot Jadot s winemaker, Jacques Lardière, makes beautifully structured wines built on a seam of bright acidity which are built to develop with keeping BU26041 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Champ Canet, Etienne Sauzet Made from a mature and wonderfully situated vineyard, opposite Meursault-Perrières, this is a structured wine with the grip to develop beautifully with bottle age BU24501 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Truffière, Michel Colin-Deléger et Fils Rare and sought after vineyard producing richly fruity wine with an appealing natural sweetness BU26051 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Combettes, Etienne Sauzet Always one of the stars in Sauzet s cellar, Les Combettes is a synthesis of the best of Puligny and Meursault, rich and honeyed yet supremely elegant BU23741 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Domaine Bonneau du Martray Sensational quality from yields of 39.5 hectolitres per hectare. Rich and powerful attack on the palate, followed by layer upon layer of flavour BU24011 Chevalier-Montrachet Les Desmoiselles Grand Cru, Louis Jadot As it often does, this stole the show at the Jadot barrel tasting. On the day, its brilliance eclipsed other Jadot grands crus BU26331 Le Montrachet Grand Cru, Domaine Bouchard Père et Fils Sensational quality from Bouchard s fine holding on the Puligny side of the vineyard, next to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti s parcel. Magnificent BU25731 Le Montrachet Grand Cru, Moret-Nominé Huge structure and power sets Le Montrachet apart from any other white Burgundy.
