Burgundy 2021 Supplement

DOMAINE PHILIPPE LIVERA - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN We are delighted to have been slowly building our allocations of Domaine Livera over the last few vintages. Formerly Domaine des Tilleuls, they offer Gevrey fromwonderful sites in amore open knit and sumptuous style, but this vintage has offered a cooler, more restrained style of wines. The estate was founded in 1920 by the current owner’s great-grandparents. The family were traditional ‘growers’, selling to Beaune négociants such as Louis Jadot, until Philippe Livera beganmaking thewine in the 1980s. Damien took over full-time in 2007 and revolutionised the estate again. Since the late 2000s he’s practiced “lutte raisonnée” : organic practice but not certified. His daughter Hélène now takes the tastings and has an increasing role at the estate. She’s bringing more finesse and lightness of touch too. They manually plough the soils because the weight of a tractor compresses the soil to the vines’ detriment. A huge amount of work goes into their wines and boy does it show! The wines have such an engaging style. Very floral and exhibit great concentration. The wines tend to be deep-coloured but with brighter lifted fruit on the palate than might be expected in Gevrey, which results in glorious drinking. In 2021 they suffered low yields due to frost, but the quality is very good and the wines are elegant and fresh - wonderful Marsannay and Fixin to be had.

REDBURGUNDY CÔTEDENUITS OSA: On Strict Allocation 8

MARSANNAY This was a little reduced so it was hard to decipher clarity in the fruit, but that should come with time. There was decent tart fruit. The palate showed spice and salinitywith a dark fruit finish. 2023-2027 £155 - £175 / 6BOTTLES CÔTEDENUITS Orange zest and cherry fruit – lovely aromatics, some spice, brighter more defined fruit notes of cherry and red currant. Spicy and long. 2024-2028 £190 - £215 / 6BOTTLES GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN, ENCHAMPS A good site below Champeau 1er Cru, sadly difficult to taste as it was again reduced. But the palate was silky, fine, balanced and fresh, displaying good fruit density with a balanced tannic grip and spice. 2025-2032 £265 - £300 / 6BOTTLES GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN, LES EVOCELLES This sits at the height of 1er Crus on the slope but just to the north where the slope turns and is therefore a village lieu-dit. On the palate this is grippy and structured with fine fruit and elegant spice. Dark and structured again but good sapidity. Red fruits come to the fore with cherry, strawberry, crunchy redcurrant and present tannins. With the acidity here this should be long-lived. 2025-2031 £275 - £310 / 6BOTTLES FIXIN Unfortunately not tasted this year. 2023-2027 £190 - £215 / 6BOTTLES

GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN, CLOSVILLAGES Thenose here is perfumedwith cherry and cocoa. It is fine and elegant and quite pretty. On the palate this fine and floral. Still grippy, but lovely fruit with good energy. As we often find, this is the best of their Gevrey. Delicious. 2026-2032 £290 - £325 / 6BOTTLES 2027-2033 £685 - £770 / 6MAGNUMS CHAPELLE-CHAMBERTINGRANDCRU Onthenose this is zippywithwildhedgerowfruit – redand black. It’s pure and powerful, lifted, layered and elegant. It’s quiteoakywithgripandpower thatwill certainly come together with time given the energy, density and power. There’s many layers and gears here, just disjointed in its youth. One to cellar and enjoy at full maturity. 2027-2037 £1,265 - £1,430 / 6BOTTLES 2030-2041 £3,100 - £3,505 / 6MAGNUMS 2033-2044 £1,035 - £1,165 / 1 DOUBLEMAGNUM
