NEW WINE: Jean-Marc Vincent 22' Vieille Vignes (Dec. ETA)

William Kelley of The Wine Advocate writes:
"One of Burgundy’s most exciting small Domaines is hiding in plain sight. You simply have to be sufficiently adventurous to drive to Santenay; for it’s here Jean-Marc Vincent crafts some of my favorite wines in all the Côte d’Or. Today, the vignerons of glamorous Vosne-Romanée and Gevrey-Chambertin are increasingly experimenting with higher canopies, working with ultra-lightweight engines that drive between the rows instead of heavier tractors that straddle them. But Jean-Marc Vincent has been working like that for more than a decade. And as his winemaking becomes ever more accomplished with each passing year, I sense that we’re witnessing a producer entering his prime."

In the vineyards today, Jean-Marc has found a winning formula. The big project that’s now underway is replanting, replacing drought-susceptible and degenerating rootstocks with more resilient material; replacing coarse selections of Pinot Noir with massal selection Pinot Fin; and planting at higher densities. He’s reconstituting the vineyards, in other words, for the next 30 years and beyond.

These recent developments mean that Jean-Marc Vincent is producing wines that realize more and more entirely the potential of his exemplary viticulture. His 2022s rival and in some cases surpass his 2020s as his finest vintage to date. “Since there was a rupture when the vineyards were rented out between my grandfather and I,” Vincent ruminates, “I never really felt I was from Santenay”—yet it is at this address that Santenay finds its finest contemporary exponent." - Published: Jan 30, 2025

Very impressive farming and the wines only become more expressive!

2022 Jean-Marc Vincent Santenay Vieilles Vignes Rouge- WA 90
"The 2022 Santenay Vieille Vignes is supple and charming, offering up aromas of sweet red fruit compote and orange zest, followed by a medium to full-bodied, textural and enveloping palate. This will offer a broad drinking window." - William Kelley, Jan 30, 2025
