Edouard Confuron Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2023

Importers thoughts - The Pinot Noir leaves a very delicious finish, accentuating the red fruits.

Edouard Confuron hails from the 6 generation family Domaine, Confuron-Gindre, located on Rue de La Tâche. While working with his father, François Confuron-Gindre, he has slowly – and successfully, created his own distinct style of wines now presented through his own micro-domaine. The 2021 vintage is the first formal representation of Edouard's personal range of wines. He handpicks grapes from a selection of his father's plots across Vosne-Romanee, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Nuits St Georges. The Pinot Noir cuvée is a blend of Croix Blanches below Vosne and Corvee Creunille below Morey.

Critics thoughts - Vines in Morey and Vosne. 8 barrels made with one new. Bright fresh ruby. Not the most exuberant bouquet but the fruit is fine. 20% whole bunches. Energetic crisp red fruit on the palate, with a graceful finish. Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.

Here there is enough reduction to push the underlying fruit to the background. By contrast there is good freshness and verve to the attractively textured middle weight flavours that possess a slightly finer texture though the lingering finish still displays a touch of rusticity. This also offers fine quality for its level. Allen Meadows, Burghound.
