BURGUNDY EN PRIMEUR 2023
A Return To Classic Burgundy
Burgundy 2023 marks a return to classicism – wines of wonderful typicity, purity, and balance, with a beautifully modern concentration. Though 2023 was one of the hottest years on record, much of the heat came early, and the resulting wines stand apart from the big, solar vintages that have preceded it.
Across the Côte d’Or, elegance, clarity, and terroir expression were recurring themes in our tastings.
The Wines: Poise and Precision
The whites, particularly from Meursault, capture precision and mineral tension with a poised, modern elegance. The reds are bright and refined, defined by vibrant fruit and a clear sense of place. With generous yields, attention to detail was key, and many growers chose cool, early harvests to preserve freshness and purity.
Large volumes led some to use less whole-bunch fermentation simply due to space constraints, which in turn highlighted the purity and aromatics of the fruit. More new oak was used, yet the sweet fruit was never overshadowed. Ultimately, despite a season of changing conditions, the vines had everything they needed. The result is a standout Burgundy vintage defined by clarity, typicity, and perfect balance – one to drink, cellar, and celebrate.
