Over the last month or so, we have tasted and drunk quite a few Burgundies, both white and red, from the 2021 vintage. Discussing the vintage, we all remember how much we loved tasting this vintage from barrel. The style was so very different to the opulent and powerful 2018s, 2019s & 2020s; the 2021s were a step back in time to an era of higher acidity and lower alcohol. Since tasting from barrel in Burgundy and subsequently selling the wines En Primeur, it seems to have become a somewhat forgotten vintage. In the interim, it feels like the general perception of the vintage has waned with some consumers starting to consider it to be a ‘weaker’ year. Unanimously, we all feel it is a vintage that has very unfairly been overlooked.
Trying the wines recently has been a pleasant surprise – all the qualities were still there, but the wines have filled out in bottle and are now complete and remarkably approachable. The whites are precise, elegant and fresh with a lovely tension and balance and the reds have a beautiful purity and delicious crunchy freshness.
We have put together a selection of three refreshing whites and three delicious reds. These all make for delightful drinking now and will happily last a few more years if you can resist drinking them! For those of you looking for lower alcohol, more traditionally styled Burgundies to enjoy this Summer, these are the perfect wines.
Wines are due to arrive in the UK in mid-June.
