Pommard En Boeuf, Domaine Éric Boigelot, 2019

We're always keeping our eyes peeled for top value producers in Burgundy, and certainly Éric Boigelot is one of the most exciting we've found to date.

The domaine is next door to Raphael Coche Dury - to whom Éric is selling grapes, including all his Narvaux (sadly!). Coche no longer writes domaine on the label because of the need to source fruit externally – an amount of which comes from Éric. If it's good enough for Coche, it's good enough for you should be the strapline here...

The Pommard appellation in the Côte de Beaune is renowned for its powerful and structured Pinot Noir wines. Eric's 2019 "En Boeuf" has excellent aging potential; enjoy it now for its vibrant fruit and robust structure, and as it ages, the tannins will soften, and the wine will develop more complex, tertiary notes of dried fruit, underbrush, and savoury nuances. Enjoy it with rich and hearty dishes such as beef bourguignon, roasted lamb, duck breast, venison, and mushroom-based dishes.
