Domaine Lignier-Michelot Aux Cheseaux 1er Cru
The western end of the Aux Chezeaux plot is classified Premier Cru and borders Grand Cru Charmes-Chambertin to the north. Viticulture is fully organic. 30-100% whole-bunch vinification is used depending on the vintage. Virgile Lignier has reduced the percentage of new oak used with most vintages, and they see around 30%.

Laurent Ponsot Cuvée de l'Aulne
Cuvée de lAulne Gevrey-Chambertin A blend of grapes purchased from seven or eight growers, across 10 to 12 different communal parcels smattered throughout the village. Again, this is the approach that Ponsot advocates in order to glean the essence of the regional terroir, in this case that of a single lauded village. Red and dark fruit essences mesh with the smoked meat parlayed by Gevreys heavier, ferrous limestone. A richer wine in the context of Burgundy, without the edges and creases that need too much smoothing with time in the cellar. Accessible across the earlier to mid-term.

Confuron Cotetidot Vosne Romanee Les Suchots 1er Cru
The domaine has an impressive portfolio of vineyards with several Grands Crus and the revered Premier Cru of Les Suchots. The Confurons have always taken the greatest care in the vineyards, performing their own massale selection of vines (ie selecting and using the healthiest plants for propagation), which are on average 65 years old. Unusually for Burgundy, their vineyards have never been treated with herbicides or pesticides, and the vine roots penetrate deep into the soils, giving the grapes a minerality that defines our terroir.
