The 2023 Vintage
In 2023, Burgundy's Cote de Nuits experienced a dry spring followed by an August heat wave partially mitigated by mid-month rainfall. The vintage is rated quality 4 of 5 - a great year for Cote de Nuits reds. Moderate yields and careful harvest timing produced wines of good depth, fresh fruit, and clean expression. The season favored elegant, medium-bodied reds with higher natural acidity than the warmer preceding years, contributing to Burguet's characteristic restraint and fine structure in this Premier Cru.
About Jean-Luc & Eric Burguet
Jean-Luc and Eric Burguet farm their vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin and surrounding appellations with careful, traditional methods. The family is known for patient, classical Pinot Noir winemaking - unhurried extractions, quality barrels, and wines built for the cellar rather than immediate consumption. Les Rouges du Dessus sits above the Echezeaux Grand Cru, carrying Vosne terroir's characteristic mineral depth.
Food Pairings
Duck breast with cherry reduction
The red fruit and mineral lift of this Vosne mirror the richness of duck, and the acidic backbone cuts through the fat cleanly.
Roast pigeon with morel mushrooms
Classic Burgundy pairing; the earthy forest floor notes in the wine echo the mushrooms, while the fine tannins support the delicate game meat.
Aged comté
The wine's precise acidity and mineral frame hold up well against the nuttiness and depth of aged alpine cheese.
