2020 J.J. Confuron 'Cuvee Jeunesse' Pinot Noir Bourgogne

Winemaker Notes:  Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron was founded in 1926 with the union of Jean Confuron of Vosne and Anne-Marie Bouchard of Premeaux. In 1980, the estate was split between the couple’s children, Christian and Jean-Jacques. Jean-Jacques had the good fortune of marrying Andrée Noëllat, one of the scions of the famed Noëllat family whose estate was subsequently acquired by Domaine Leroy, which explains why it is a common occurrence to find Confuron, Leroy, and Hudelot-Noëllat parcels side by side in several of the appellations. Today, the estate is led by Jean-Jacque’s daughter, Sophie Meunier-Confuron and her husband Alain Meunier.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Burghound - "Bright and very fresh aromas include those of red pinot fruit, cherry and a background hint of earth. I like the vibrancy of the delicious middleweight flavors that conclude in a mildly rustic finish. There is enough structure to suggest that 2 to 3 years should see this well-made effort at its best."
