Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy – Details, episodes & analysis

From The Wine Conversation (wine-conversation.com)

"Episode Summary:-

Jasper Morris MW, author of “Inside Burgundy” and the award-winning website www.insideburgundy.com, takes a deep dive into Gevrey-Chambertin in our latest episode of 10-Minute Masterclass. Gevrey-Chambertin is at the northern end of the Côte de Nuits, on the edge of the city of Dijon. Jasper notes that there are 20 well-known producers, but he estimates there are 50 overall. The appellation covers 400 hectares, or 1,000 acres of vineyards, and consists of nine grands crus. In the past, Gevrey-Chambertin was known for its deeply coloured, powerful and structured red wines, but today the flavours are much more nuanced. 

The appellation is affected by the alluvial soil deposits left along an ancient river course, and it is the only village which has a sizeable number of vineyards east of the main road, as the alluvial soil is found there. Jasper explains that those who are at the southern end of the village and the eastern bit before the road tend to make wines which are red-fruited, with fresh strawberry aromatics that become quite savoury, but at the northern end the wines are slightly more concentrated, slightly deeper in colour. Of the nine grands crus, which are found on the upper and middle slopes, Chambertin is the most famous and has an amazing ageing ability. 

His personal favourites include Latricières-Chambertin at the southern end, and at the northern end Ruchottes-Chambertin, which he finds is the lightest most delicate and elegant, and its neighbour Mazis-Chambertin, which is noted for its structure. The most famous of the premier cru vineyards is Clos St-Jacques, which goes for the same price as the grands crus. Jasper recommends Les Cazetiers, which has a fresh mineral feel to it, and at the southern end, Aux Combottes, which is surrounded by grands crus. The grape is solely Pinot Noir and the most famous name in the appellation is Domaine Armand Rousseau, which has the biggest holdings. Other names to look out for include two branches of the Trapet family, Domaine Trapet and Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, both biodynamic, Domaine Duroché, Domaine Fourrier, Domaine Bruno Clair, Domaine Drouhin-Laroze, Domaine Sylvie-Esmonin, Domaine Henri Magnien, and Domaine Henri Rebourseau, which has received an investment from Martin Bouygues of Château Montrose. 

Jasper’s obscure fact is that Gevrey-Chambertin was the first village to hyphenate its best vineyard when in 1847 it changed its name from Gevrey-en-Montagne to Gevrey-Chambertin, which was its most famous vineyard."

"Episode Summary:-

Jasper Morris explores the Mâconnais in our latest 10-Minute Masterclass. It is situated 50 miles to the south of Beaune and 50 miles north of Lyon. There are a thousand producers growing grapes, but a lot of their grapes go to the Cave Cooperatives. The soil is a clay-limestone mix, as is true for the Côte d’Or. Jasper explains that if it is called Mâcon it is almost certain to be chardonnay, and it certainly is if it is called Vire-Clessé or Pouilly-Fuissé. There is a little Pinot Noir in the region, which would be bottled as Bourgogne Rouge, and if Gamay is planted it will be called Mâcon with the village name attached. 

Regarding the taste of Mâcon, Jasper explains that there are three styles. Mâcon bought from a supermarket is bottled in considerable volumes, usually fermented in stainless steel, and is fresh, cheerful, mineral-driven, gulping wine, which can be very satisfying. The artisanal producers tend to age in barrel and the wines show a little more substance, and clearly have a more southern feel than the wines of the Côte Chalonnaise. “Pouilly-Fuissé, you can get up to 14 percent alcohol without it feeling too heavy, as they all have a thread of acidity underneath,” he notes. And then, Viré-Clessé can be more full-bodied, everything there is on a mini-plateau with several streams. You can also have a little residual sugar, a more late-harvest style that’s unique in Burgundy.

The big negociants have their own holdings or good relationships with the growers. In Pouilly-Fuissé, Jasper recommends looking out for Domaine Ferret, owned by the House of Jadot but independently run, Domaine Barraud, Château de Beauregard, Domaine Jacques Saumaize, Domaine Saumaize-Michelin, and Olivier Merlin, whilst over In Pouilly-Vinzelles, it’s the Bret Brothers. In Viré-Clessé, Domaine Thevenet, Domaine André Bonhomme and Domaine Jean-Marie Chaland. For Mâcon and Mâcon-Villages, the co-operatives and small growers, as well as the interlopers from the north who wish to make chardonnay at more affordable prices, such as Domaine Leflaive and Domaine Lafon.

Jasper’s insider tip is to look for the premier crus in Pouilly-Fuissé which are already established, and the about-to-be-established premier crus in Pouilly-Vinzelles and Pouilly-Loché. “Amazing for the appellation,” Jasper notes. His obscure fact? The village in the Mâconnais called Chardonnay is not named after the grape. It was recorded in the 17th century, when the grapes grown there were red."

Which is now a very warm front, after the recent cold snap. Another White Christmas goes begging. Mind you, my Christmas will be both red and white, with a little port thrown in, as well as bubbles.

I have finally finished all my tastings of the 2021 vintage and am completing writing up all the notes. Despite the short harvest, I shall be bringing you just about as many notes as last year, to help you make your choices as merchants start to offer the 2021 vintage for sale.

Webinar on the 2021 vintage: Wednesday 4th January  @ 6pm GMT
