Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot 2021: “serious, built-to-age” Burgundy

Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot makes dense, textured wines that develop beautifully with time in bottle. They are very much worth the wait. As Allen Meadows puts it,“if you like the serious, built-to-age old school style, this is one of the very best addresses around”. The 2021s from Confuron-Cotetidot are superb: the freshness of the vintage works perfectly with the style of the domaine.

Based in the sought-after village of Vosne-Romanee, Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot is a family domaine dating back to the seventeenth century. It is run today by Yves Confuron, who also makes the wines at Domaine de Courcel in Pommard. The domaine benefits from a high proportion of old vines. This gives low yields and high levels of concentration in the wines.

Confuron harvests late and never de-stems, creating a distinctive style. He vinifies with minimal extraction to ensure finesse of tannin. Then, the wines see long ageing in oak barrels, only a small percentage of which are new. The domaine is notable for its over-performing village wines, its enviably large holding in Vosne-Romanee Les Suchots, and its nuanced interpretation of its four grand crus.

In 2021, the domaine’s practice of pruning late meant that frost damage was largely avoided. Yields were nevertheless low, as is always the case here, at 21-22 hl/ha. The grapes were harvested with excellent ripeness levels. Because of this, unlike at many other addresses in 2021, there was no need to chaptalise.

This is a very good set of wines from a producer we rate highly. Buy some now to put in the cellar.
