The family Vaudoisey settled in Volnay in 1804. Christophe and his wife, Laurence, took over the domaine from his father, Bernard Vaudoisey, in 1985. Subsequently, he has put a lot of energy into “valoriser un vignoble transmis de générations en générations et se dote en 2008 d’une nouvelle cuverie en bas du village”. In 2012 […]

april 28th, 2022 by Unnur BisgaardDomaine Gérard Thomas et Filles, Saint Aubin
april 28th, 2022 by Unnur BisgaardWhen the N6 turns round the Mont-Rachet hill, you come to the village of Gamay, which sits at the bottom of the hill. Its vines are all classed as St. Aubin. Further up the N6, you find the village of Saint-Aubin on your right. Due to high levels of quality and fair prices, this was […]
Domaine Serrigny, Savigny les Beaune
april 28th, 2022 by Unnur BisgaardOur first acquaintance with the wines from Savigny les Beaune dates back to the early 1990ies. At that time, we found the wines over extracted and a bit rustic with the exception of the wines from Domaine Simon Bize and Domaine Maurice Écard. However, the wines from the highly ranked Domaine jean-Marc Pavelot (La Dominode […]
Domaine Pascal Mure, Volnay
april 28th, 2022 by Unnur BisgaardVolnay is a very quiet village with some 300 inhabitants, located at the top of its vineyards. We often bring food and wine for lunch and take the steep street up to the top of the hill upon which Volnay is placed. From here you have a panoramic view towards the Alpes. Several fine and […]
Domaine René Monnier, Meursault
april 28th, 2022 by Unnur BisgaardFounded in 1723, the domaine is now in the hands of the 10th generation, Jean-Louis Bouillot-Monnier and his wife, daughter of the late René Monnier together with Xavier Monnot, a grandson of René Monnier, who seems to be a skilfull winemaker. This is a large domaine by Burgundy standards, totaling 18 ha, 10 of which […]
Domaine Maratray-Dubreuil, Ladoix Serrigny
april 28th, 2022 by Unnur BisgaardLadoix faces a problem similar to Monthélie, much of the village wine is relatively ungenerous and rarely exiting. Add to this, that its best vineyard sites due to similarity in their soils are entitled to be called Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru or Corton Charlemagne in case of Chardonnay, and Corton or Le Rognet en Corton if […]
Domaine Jean-Pierre Maldant, Ladoix-Serrigny
april 28th, 2022 by Unnur BisgaardLike Marsannay, Chorey-les-Beaune, Monthelier and Saint Romain, Ladoix represents an overlooked village, the vignerons of whom make affordable, but still authentic and accessible Burgundy, which our family drink, when we want a great glass of wine without thinking of bottle age and value. However, also here prices are on the rise in the world of […]
Domaine Sylvain Langoureau, Gamay
april 28th, 2022 by Unnur BisgaardSaint Aubin used to be our hunting ground for top-quality white Burgundy. Like Saint Romain, it is located behind the famous appellations of Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. The appellation takes its name from the village of Saint Aubin, but includes also the neighboring Gamay. Several young, ambitious, and talented growers have turned into Chardonnay at […]
Domaine Vincent and Francois Jouard, Chassagne Montrachet
april 28th, 2022 by Unnur BisgaardThe village of Chassagne Montrachet is not an exciting place to visit. Many of the growers live behind discreet facades and you rarely come across people in the streets! The vineyards of Chassagne Montrachet extend some 3 km in a south-westernly direction, crossing the N6 and having a south-easternly exposure. As for family names, the […]
Domaine Jean-Michel Giboulot, Savigny-les-Beaune
april 28th, 2022 by Unnur BisgaardAs stated under Domaine Serrigny and Domaine Camus-Bruchon et Fils, Savigny-les-Beaune has become a happy hunting ground for Burgundy lovers, who appreciate fruity and stylish wines most of which are ready to drink young. However, selection is still critical, as some Savignys are often coarse and hard. Domaine Giboulot was established by Jean-Michel Giboulots grandfather […]
