Any insights on this producer? Im hearing they are a rising star of sorts… TIA for any info/perspective/tasting notes
I have some bottles. Not opened one yet.
He is very active on Insta. Check that out.
cool thanks!
I haven’t had the chance myself, but have many trusted wine friends that have tasted a wide range of his wines now.
Overall; nice wines that fit the “current trend” of low SO2, whole cluster and light extraction with highly aromatic Pinot Noir - and at the price of ~€60-100 for the Pommard for example, they’re nice. Alas, they all say that they are no where near the level of the second market prices reaching as high as $1,000 for the regular Pommard… You are moving in to wines like Dujac, Rousseau and Mugnier - and not even just their Village wines…
I think the village wines are more than that on the primary market?
My understanding is that his involvement varies considerably from cuvee to cuvee…
If that’s true, that’s really not a good thing.
I don’t get all of these gitchy producers and their meteoric rise? It almost feels like a Reddit subforum wine with how it takes off out of the blue. You can still buy Dujac Clos de la Roche for under $1000 a bottle, and the future value of that wine is straight up. I’ve seen the prices of Arnoux go up and come back down. Prieur-Roch is starting to do the same, and those are actually good wines with a pretty long track record.
Not knocking the quality because I haven’t had them, but if there is a question as to his involvement with some of the wines? What are you actually buying and paying for?
Well most Negoce operations are somewhat opaque. No?
Rumpelstiltskin made gold, not wine
Kidding aside, I think there are reasons for that.
The truth is that it doesn’t have to be.
I saw the Pommard 2020 for €75 in Beaune last summer.
Maybe I’m thinking of the Pellans then.
Haven’t tried these either but Vivino sells them if that helps.
After seeing his name a few times, I’ve been on the lookout for a bottle to try. Today I was offered (non-grey market) his latest release wines. Village around $300, Village single vineyards $400, Chebaudes (I think his lone 1er) $550.
Come on now! Prices like these are giving Burgundy a bad reputation.
If anyone is interested and willing to drop some cash the Kei Shiogai offer is on Crurated right now. €870 for a 3 pack of the village Gevrey. I’ve been curious to try this producer, but this strikes me as overpriced as a result of the limited availability, and the price does not reflect the quality in the bottle (even by Burgundy standards). I know we’re talking about Burgundy so it’s all relative, but I can’t imagine this would be 2 - 3x better than Fourrier, Duroche, Mortet etc… I’d be shocked if he topped any of those three for my taste - sweet label though
Le Soufflot would be the best place I can think of to try them!
Unfortunately I probably won’t make it back to Burgundy until 2025, but I’ll keep that in mind
I have a bottle of 2020 Pommard Poiso in a box somewhere.
Happy to drink it with you.
Hey Patrick I would love that! I’ll shoot you a DM.
