BURGUNDY & CHABLIS WINE REGION
The Burgundy wine region has always fascinated and frustrated in equal measure. For every eulogising, life-changing proclamation from someone realising wine nirvana, there is some poor soul somewhere bashing their head in perplexity. At its best, Burgundy wine can provide the ultimate - the transcendental, mystifying, unexplainable pleasure that only truly great wine can bring. But at its worst, Burgundy wine can be an expensive mistake, bring disillusion and even provoke anger.Bottle 75cl £30.10

TASTING NOTES
Dark spicy fruit with a hint of raspberry on the nose leads to a crunchy palate of blackcurrants underpinned by a delightful cherry pip minerality encased in an elegant, fine boned structure. Pure, lifted, fresh and concentrated, the wine boasts both refinement and complexity. Drink from 2019.Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES
A haunting perfume of pure, lifted red fruits and rose petals emerge from the glass. The silken palate shows strawberries and red cherries with floral top notes woven around an intense mineral core. Seamlessly integrated spice, violets, red and black cherries develop on the palate and linger on the beautifully sleek yet steely finish. Drink from 2019.Armit Wines

An elegant bouquet of sweet redcurrant and strawberry fruits is followed by a palate bursting with refreshing cassis and dark strawberry characters with a lovely tension between the sweet fruit and lively acidity. This has the...

Burgundy Region
The Burgundy region is not the region of choice for the unadventurous or risk averse! How then to navigate the minefield? Our advice has always been, and still is, to get to know the growers. It sounds like simple advice but with so many producers there are so many types of Burgundy wine. From powerful négociant houses to the new breed of micro négociants, from large, historic estates to tiny family domaines, you need to know where to turn and who can be relied upon.
At Armit Wines we work with growers who we count amongst our friends. These are by definition, people that won't let you down. These are personal contacts gleaned from years of visiting, talking, tasting and building relationships. Some friendships grow whilst others fade of course but the great ones endure: legendary, ground-breaking Burgundy wine growers such as Anne-Claude Leflaive and Guillaume d'Angerville; superstars such as Pascal Lachaux, Christophe Roumier, Jean-Marc Roulot and the Raveneau brothers; under-appreciated talents such as Patrick Bize and Richard Fontaine.
