COTE DE
NUITS-WHITE
AUDOIN
(MARSANNAY)
He's been making wine since he was
twelve and getting rave reviews in the USA recently, so we're pleased we're the
first in the UK to have heard about 27 year-old Cyril Audoin. On one of
our visits to Burgundy he treated us to lunch in a tiny vineyard workers'
bistro and was horrified when one of his own very old bottles was corked!
Luckily for us, he ran back to fetch a replacement. Not much white wine is made
on the Cote de Nuits and this white Marsannay impressed us when we were last
there, so here we are with the new vintage.

MUGNIER
(CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY)
Freddy
Mugnier grafted some Chardonnay onto some of his old vines at the lower end of
Clos de la Marechale, Òto make some white wine for my wifeÓ. This is only his
second vintage. He only makes a barrel and we are delighted to get an armful of
bottles.
