COTE DE BEAUNE-RED

 

David Dubuet veered onto our radar last year, and we have been keeping our eye on this boyish rising star in Monthˇlie ever since then. Tucked between Volnay and Meursault, this village can offer stunning value - refined whites and pure smoky Pinot. David Dubuet is one of the new breed (still only 25), with all the bouncy enthusiasm of a wine-maker on the rise. Our new boy-wonder has being wooing us with his pristine Pinot Noir from the ripe 2005 vintage - a cavalcade of summer fruits, strawberries and cherries to lift the chill from your soul. 2006s arriving in November.

 

The quiet village of Volnay has around ninety-five growers and Michel Lafarge plays a central part in its history. He was mayor of the village, as were his father and grandfather. Famous for his reds, the 2003Õs are the epitome of Volnay finesse and rich elegance. Lafarge also makes a very elegant, quietly classy style of Meursault from the Volnay end of the appellation. Other highlights in his freezing cellar were the finest Beaune Greves weÕve tasted – a rare treat, considering he makes just one barrel. There seems to have been a seemless succession from Michel to his son Freddy but nobody really knows who does what.
