The Land

Pommard is shorthand for muscle in Burgundy: dense, tannic, built to wait. Les Vignots argues with that. The lieu-dit sits on the western edge of the village at the top of the slope, 330 meters up, above the band of famous premier crus rather than among them. Soils thin out at that height, clay over limestone with more stone and less depth, and the air moves colder. The result is a Pommard with the appellation's frame but noticeably more lift: red fruit rather than black, tension rather than weight. Les Vignots is the strongest case in the appellation that Pommard does not have to be heavy.

The Wine

100% Pinot Noir. Short maceration, then ambient yeast fermentation in a small stainless steel tank, with two punch-downs a day before fermentation starts and a single daily pump-over once it does. That is a deliberately gentle extraction regime for an appellation usually pushed harder. Aging is in a combination of new and used barrels. Black cherry, cranberry, crushed violet, iron filings, a dusting of clove, fine-grained tannin, and a savory mineral close. 2024 was among the hardest vintages Burgundy has faced in a decade: relentless spring rain, heavy mildew pressure, uneven flowering, and scattered hail through July and August. Cote de Beaune Pinot Noir losses ran as high as 50 percent, and some Pommard parcels came in near 15 hl/ha. What made it through the sorting table is unusually pure and transparent, lighter in weight and sharper in definition than 2023.

The People

Bastien Gautheron trained under Olivier Leflaive before launching Maison Gautheron d'Anost in 2020, working out of Meursault. He operates across a deliberately wide spread of the Cote, from Bouzeron Aligote to Gevrey-Chambertin, and treats each site as its own problem rather than a house style to impose. Farming is organic, though the estate is not certified. The cellar approach is non-interventionist in the practical sense: native yeast, minimal handling, few additions, and just enough new oak to build structure without covering the fruit. Five years in, these are among the more precise young projects working out of Meursault.

Food Pairing

Pommard at this weight wants meat, but not a wall of it. Roast duck breast with a cherry and black pepper pan sauce is the obvious call and the right one. Braised short rib with root vegetables works, so does mushroom risotto finished with thyme and parmesan, or coq au vin over buttered noodles. The acidity and fine tannin handle fat and browned meat without flattening out, and the earthy, iron-tinged core meets mushrooms and roots halfway. Give it an hour in a decanter if you are opening it now.

The Terroir

The most unusual address in this lineup is Dijon itself. The Bourgogne Dijon comes from Les Prés Chandois, a parcel planted in 2017 on Le Cras, an east-facing plateau of high-limestone soil above Lac Kir on the city's western edge. The Aligoté Le Bien Urbain comes from a plot just south in Marsannay that Bastien Gautheron is in the process of buying.

From there the sites run south through the Côte d'Or. The owned vines are in Savigny-lès-Beaune: Les Goudelettes, on a plateau above the village, planted in 1977, and Les Chevrières, which supplies the Hautes Côtes de Beaune blanc along with bought fruit from La Rochepot, above Saint-Aubin. Marsannay Au Quartier lies at the top of Champ Perdrix, one of the climats proposed for premier cru status. Pommard Les Vignots sits at the top of its slope at 330 meters. Ladoix Les Grechons shares the white marl of neighboring Corton-Charlemagne, and Bouzeron, in the Côte Chalonnaise, supplies the Aligoté.

Bastien Gautheron grew up in Dijon beside the last vines left in the city. In the 1800s Dijon was a town of about 60,000 ringed by some 3,000 hectares of vineyard; phylloxera and urban growth took all of it, and the last neighborhood winemaker died in 2014. Twenty-some growers have since replanted about 60 hectares, and a petition asks the INAO to recognize Bourgogne Dijon. Bastien is one of those making the case and already bottles under the name, from a winery at the head of the Route des Grands Crus where an old powder magazine he renovated holds his barrels.

He trained in Beaune and was commercial and marketing director at Olivier Leflaive before family vines came free; 2020 was his first vintage, and Anost is his mother's village in the Morvan. He owns vines in Savigny and Dijon and buys from grower friends who farm organically. Ferments run on ambient yeast, and new oak stays under 30 percent. DWM's 2024s, from a cool year, are crisp whites and lower-alcohol reds, the first of his wine in Colorado.
  • Bouzeron Aligoté from old vines in Bouzeron, the only village appellation for the grape. The source has shifted with hail, from Les Bouchines on the appellation's southern edge to neighboring Les Louères; after short skin contact it ages on its lees in 350-liter barrels, which add texture without oak flavor.
  • Bourgogne Aligoté Le Bien Urbain Aligoté from a Marsannay plot Bastien is buying, raised one-third in barrel and two-thirds in steel. The steel share keeps the citrus up front.
  • Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune Chardonnay from Bastien's own Les Chevrières parcel in Savigny, blended with bought fruit from La Rochepot above Saint-Aubin and aged 12 months in 228- and 350-liter barrels. The upland sites give a citrus-driven white with a salty finish.
  • Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne Chardonnay from La Garenne, a premier cru high on the Puligny slope below the hamlet of Blagny. It is the highest-ranked white in the range, raised like the others in a mix of 228- and 350-liter barrels with little new wood.
  • Bourgogne Dijon Blanc Chardonnay from Les Prés Chandois, planted in 2017 on the limestone plateau of Le Cras above Lac Kir, close to the cellar. 2023 was the first vintage under the Dijon name; young vines on chalky soil make it the leanest, most saline white here.
  • Marsannay Au Quartier Rouge Pinot Noir from the top of Champ Perdrix, partly destemmed (about 25 percent whole bunch in 2022), fermented in tank and aged 12 months in barrel with very little new oak. Concentrated and juicy, with dark berry fruit and supple tannin.
  • Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavières Rouge Pinot Noir from Les Lavières, a premier cru on the north side of Savigny toward Pernand-Vergelesses, named for the flat stones in its soil. It gets the house red treatment: short maceration, ambient yeast in small steel tanks, and barrels with under 30 percent new oak.
  • Pommard Les Vignots Rouge Pinot Noir from the top of the Pommard slope at 330 meters, where the village's usual weight gives way to a livelier, medium-bodied frame. Whole-bunch use swings with the vintage, from 100 percent in 2022 to 30 percent in 2023.
  • Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Goudelettes Pinot Noir from Bastien's own vines on a plateau above Savigny, planted in 1977 and the core of the domaine. Two punch-downs a day before fermentation, one pump-over a day after, and a mix of new and used barrels give a bright, transparent red with lively cherry fruit.
  • Ladoix 1er Cru Les Grechons Chardonnay from Les Grechons, on the same white marl as neighboring Corton-Charlemagne, aged in 228- and 350-liter barrels. Sun exposure ripens the fruit and the marl drives a mineral finish.
  • Gevrey-Chambertin Combes du Bas Pinot Noir from a small climat at the foot of the slope in the center of the village, partly destemmed and aged 12 months in barrel with very little new oak. Bright and floral young, it needs a few years for its structure to show.
  • Fixin Entre deux Velles Pinot Noir added to the range in 2023, when five barrels were made. Firmer and more reserved on the nose than the Gevrey, with crunchy red fruit.
  • Montagny Les Bassets Chardonnay from Les Bassets in Montagny, the southernmost village in the range.

Burgundy, in eastern France, encompasses several subregions, but it is the Côte d'Or that is home to many of the world's most expensive and revered wines. The region, primarily a single east-facing slope, has mixed limestone soils that vary dramatically from village to village and even vineyard to vineyard. White wines, crafted from Chardonnay, range from rich and opulent to lean and intensely mineral, while Pinot Noir produces silky, perfumed red wines of exceptional finesse and complexity. Centuries of winemaking tradition have resulted in every plot being meticulously recognized and scrutinized, making the Côte d'Or a true capital of terroir.

Burgundy - Cote d'Or

Pinot Noir is a thin-skinned, notoriously difficult-to-grow, low-yielding grape that finds its ancestral home in Burgundy, France, where it produces some of the world's most elegant and nuanced wines. While Burgundy remains its spiritual heartland, Pinot Noir has since traveled the globe, finding success in other cooler climates, notably in California, Oregon, New Zealand, and Germany. This grape is a challenge for any grower, as it requires specific conditions to show its best, and yet the wines it produces are capable of such a captivating and singular character.
