The cool, pretty and airy essence of red currant scents is trimmed in attractive spice nuances along with a hint of herbal tea. The notably more refined if less concentrated flavors are supple to the point of be lilting, all wrapped in a lightly stony bitter cherry pit-inflected finale. The finish flirts with dryness though I suspect that it will gradually round out in time. - AM
Jean-Luc & Eric Burguet is a wine producer in Gevrey-Chambertin in the Cote de Nuits region of Burgundy. Jean-Luc and Eric Burguet inherited the 10-hectare (25-acre) domaine from their father and released their first vintage in 2011. The most well-known of their Gevrey-Chambertin wines is the Mes Favorites, a village-level blend of Pinot Noir grapes sourced from old vines averaging more than 60 years old. The domaine was originally founded in 1974 by Alain Burguet with a 2-ha (5-acre) plot in Gevrey-Chambertin. Burguet purchased a small Champeaux Premier Cru site in 1985, and in 1991 acquired a 4-ha (10-acre) parcel of vines from his father. His son Eric officially joined the family business in 2003, and was shortly followed by his brother, Jean-Luc, in 2005.
