Domaine Dujac Morey-St-Denis Pinot Noir
Domaine Dujac has always held a dear spot in Australian hearts. Established in 1967 with an inaugural release in the disastrous 1968 vintage, the estate has incorporated a slew of increasingly prestigious holdings over the years, while becoming a home-away-from home for many Australian trainees, some among our most illustrious craftspeople. Its forward-thinking, international air-a rarity in what can be a sternly parochial region-is manifest in the Domaine’s full embrace of organic viticulture. Like DRC, Dujac is a strong advocate of the inclusion of whole-bunches in the fermentations, although the approach is more flexible than in the past depending on the degree of lignification. Among Burgundy’s upper tier, the Morey Saint Denis is benchmark: plump, succulent and more Chambolle red fruited than Gevrey-meaty.

Domaine Jean-Marc et Thomas Bouley Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens
Domaine Jean-Marc Bouley is a prestigious winery located in the heart of Burgundy, France, with a long-standing history of winemaking that dates back to the early 14th century. In 1985, Jean-Marc Bouley took over the family winery after his father's passing. Today, the estate spans over 12 hectares and boasts vineyards in Volnay, Pommard, and Beaune. After gaining experience in Oregon and New Zealand's Felton Road, Thomas Bouley, Jean-Marc's son, assumed the winemaking responsibilities in 2006. The estate is renowned for producing wines that exhibit exceptional transparency of terroir, purity, and fruit density, harmonizing the traditional Burgundy wine style with the New World wine style. The winery follows a philosophy of honouring the terroir by allowing it to express itself fully in the wines. The vineyards are meticulously tended, and the grapes are hand-picked to ensure the highest quality. The winemaking process is gentle and non-intrusive, allowing the wines to convey the unique character of the terroir. Pommard is a renowned wine village located in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, France. The village is known for producing some of the finest Pinot Noir wines in the world. Jean-Marc Bouley's Pommard 1er Cru Rugiens 2017 is a remarkable red wine that exemplifies the quality and distinctiveness of one of Pommard's most highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards. The wine is crafted using traditional winemaking methods that aim to showcase the unique character of the terroir. Its deep ruby hue and intricate bouquet of ripe black fruits, such as black cherries, blackberries, and currants are accompanied by hints of spice, earth, and a subtle touch of oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with firm tannins that provide a solid structure. It's a well-balanced and sophisticated wine that offers rich flavours of dark fruit, spices, and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a pleasant aftertaste that lingers on the palate. Overall, the Jean-Marc Bouley Pommard 1er Cru Rugiens 2017 is an exceptional wine that perfectly reflects the unique terroir of Pommard and the Bouley family's dedication to producing outstanding Pinot Noir wines.

Domaine d'Eugenie 1 er Cru Aux Brulees
Domaine Ponsot Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru
Domaine Ponsot’s cellar sits atop the hill overlooking the vineyards of Morey-St-Denis, with views stretching the length of the Côte de Nuits. They are one of the, if not the, defining domaines of the village, and the largest landowners in the hallowed terroir of Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, with over three hectares. They also proudly lay claim to the only premier cru Aligoté in Burgundy, with Clos des Monts Luisants responsible for a remarkable white with uniquely delicious flavours and a loyal following. The estate has been in the Ponsot family since 1872, when William Ponsot settled in Morey-St-Denis and bought up land including their only Chardonnay parcel, the premier cru Clos des Monts Luisants. Laurent Ponsot brought the estate to fame, with his flare for producing distinctive wines that broke the mould. His departure in 2017 saw the domaine transferred to the safe hands of his sister, Rose-Marie, and her nephew William and the appointment of régisseur, Alexandre Abel. Together they have ensured the domaine’s signature style of late picking their Pinot Noir, destemming, and exclusion of new oak during élevage continued seamlessly. These are intense, concentrated, and fabulously long-lived wines, keenly sought-out by the domaine’s many loyal followers.
