FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What share of this Beaune selection is made up of whites and reds?

This Côte de Beaune selection brings together nine white wines and four reds. Chardonnay is listed for seven white wines, and Pinot Noir for all four reds, so grape varieties are not specified for every white.

Do Montagne Saint-Désiré and Clos Saint-Désiré refer to the same Beaune white wine?

They are two distinct wines: the Beaune Blanc Montagne Saint-Désiré is made by La Vougeraie, while the Beaune Blanc Clos Saint-Désiré is produced by Rodolphe Demougeot. The 2022 vintage makes it possible to taste them side by side, although the information provided does not specify differences in their terroir or style.

Does the term “Vieilles Vignes” refer to just one producer in this Beaune selection?

No, it appears on the red Beaune wines from Roche de Bellene, from 2017 and 2019, as well as on Pierre Labet’s 2021 wine. To tell them apart, you need to consider both the producer and the vintage; the term alone does not allow you to infer a shared flavour profile.

Which Beaune wines should you bring together for a tasting of 2022 whites and reds?

For a white, you could choose Pierre Labet’s Clos du Dessus des Marconnets, Rodolphe Demougeot’s Clos Saint-Désiré or La Vougeraie’s Montagne Saint-Désiré. Emmanuel Giboulot’s Beaune Lulunne provides the red wine for this same-vintage tasting.

Do the words “Clos” in the names of the Beaune wines indicate Premier Cru classification?

The word “Clos” in a wine’s name is not enough to establish Premier Cru classification here. The category data lists twelve of the thirteen wines as Village, without specifying the classification of the last one, so you should not infer a hierarchy from the wine names alone.
