Tasting Notes
Fermage. The vines had to be replanted after the winter frost of 1985, and then again after the winter frost of 2009/10 and 161/49 issues – so young vines, giving more juice than skin, 100% whole bunch vinification. One third new wood. A paler colour, and evidently the floral rose petal and peppery style. So clearly quite different, but it is fun, a pretty wine with a little bit of Vosne lurking behind the vinification style. Drink from 2028-2034. 90 Pts. - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
Edouard’s domaine covers just 1.50ha, but provides seven wines. Most of the land has come from the family, with Nuits-St-Georges Aux Allots as a farming contract. Spanning across the Côte de Nuits with plots in Vosne-Romanée, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Nuits-Saint-Georges, the Confuron name has always resonated very far in Vosne-Romanée with three influential branches (including Jean-Jacques Confuron and Confuron-Cotetidot) of the family owning substantial holdings in the village. So while only just beginning his legacy, he has the strong backing of his family and access to plots rarely accessible to new winemakers of the region.
Edouard plans to certify as organic in the near future, as his family domaine practises organics but has not yet been certified. His wines are made in a small cuverie down on the old RN74, with a cellar attached to the family domaine. Edouard uses more whole bunches than in the family range, and vinifies those cuvées without sulphur, only adding it at the end.
