Burgundy, France
The cellars of Domaine Cyrot-Buthiau are dug into the side of a rocky escarpment in Pommard, adjacent to the premier cru Les Arvelets. After returning from their studies, the two brothers took back the family’s vineyards from their long-term leases. Olivier is the winemaker, while Marc-Emmanuel looks after the business side, alongside a successful business representing other local growers and advising on vineyard land purchases.
TASTING NOTES
VOLNAY
This wine comes from five plots, totalling 0.5ha. Two were purchased in 1995 and two in 2010, in the middle of the appellation: one in Les Lurets, one in Cros Martin, one in Poisots, one in Les Famines and another in Les Paux Bois. Supple raspberries, with a crunchy definition and bright acidity, framed by steely tannins. Salty definition on the finish. 100% destemmed.

POMMARD 1ER CRU
Due to the tiny quantities in 2021, this is a blend of the domaine’s Pommard 1ers Cru holdings: Les Arvelets (3 plots), Les Charmots (3 plots) and La Chagnière (2 plots).Ferrous-mineral, with a ripe, dark-berried intensity of aroma. The palate revels in small, thick-skinned blackberries and firm, fruit-coated tannins, with a kick of fruit ripeness on the finish. 25% new oak. 100% destemmed.
