🍷 Master of Wine’s Selection Notes

"An Upgrade in Terroir: Why Set B beats Set A."

Due to the sell-out of the Côte de Nuits-Villages, we have upgraded this final set to include the Marsannay "En Combereau."

For the serious wine lover, this is a winning trade. While Côte de Nuits-Villages is a blend of communes, "En Combereau" is a specific Lieu-dit (named vineyard). It sits on the slope with ideal exposure, producing a wine of Premier Cru caliber. Combined with the opulent Meursault 2022 and the special "Cuvée Famille," this is a box of hidden treasures.

Here is the breakdown of your upgraded cellar:

1. 【The Star White】 Meursault (2022)

• Varietal: 100% Chardonnay

• Vintage Note: 2022 was a warm "Solar" vintage, resulting in generous, ripe wines.

• The MW Verdict: This is the centerpiece. It delivers the classic Meursault experience—rich hazelnut, yellow peach, and brioche—but filtered through Koji Nakada’s lens of purity. It is voluminous yet precise. A stunning pairing for lobster or roasted chicken.

2. 【The Upgrade】 Marsannay "En Combereau"

• Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir

• The Terroir: "En Combereau" is one of the top vineyards in Marsannay, featuring limestone-rich soil that imparts elegance.

• The MW Verdict: This is a step up in class. Unlike the rustic edge of some village wines, Combereau is all about finesse. Expect bright red cherries, wild raspberries, and a distinct floral note (violets). The tannins are finer and more integrated. This is a wine that whispers rather than shouts.

3. 【The Insider’s Choice】 Bourgogne Blanc "Cuvée Famille"

• Varietal: 100% Chardonnay

• The MW Verdict: "Cuvée Famille" implies a selection made for the winemaker's inner circle. These bottles often come from older vines or specific barrels that showed superior character. Expect more depth, texture, and complexity than the standard regional white. A rare treat.

4, 5, . 【The Daily Essentials】 The Regional Trio

• Composition: 1 x Bourgogne Rouge, 1 x Bourgogne Blanc.

Lou Dumont - Bourgogne Pinot Noir V.V. 2022

Vintage: 2022 Grape: 100% Pinot Noir Classification: Regional (Vieilles Vignes / Old Vines) Winemaker: Koji Nakada (Tenchi-jin)

🍷 Master of Wine’s Tasting Note

"Don't let the 'Regional' label fool you. This wine drinks like a Village-level Burgundy."

In the world of Burgundy, the producer is everything. Koji Nakada, the man behind Lou Dumont, is famous for his perfectionism. For his entry-level Bourgogne Rouge, he refuses to compromise. He uses "Vieilles Vignes" (Old Vines)—grapevines that are typically over 30 years old.

Why does this matter? Old vines produce fewer grapes, but those grapes are smaller and more concentrated. This gives the wine a depth and complexity rarely found at this price point.

The 2022 Vintage Advantage: 2022 was a "Solar Vintage"—warm and generous. This means the fruit is perfectly ripe, luscious, and ready to drink immediately. It is a happy, vibrant year for Pinot Noir.

• The MW Verdict:

  • The Reds: Nakada’s Bourgogne Rouge is the gold standard for "House Wine." Fresh strawberries, soft earthiness, and drinkability. You get two bottles, perfect for casual dinners.

  • The White: Crisp, citrusy, and refreshing. It cleanses the palate and is an excellent aperitif.
