Introduction There are few greater pleasures in life than being able to dip into a well-stocked and looked-after wine collection. Contrary to popular belief, building a cellar of fine wines doesn’t have to cost the earth; with a little care and attention, a wine cellar can be created to suit all budgets and tastes.

We are proud to work with an array of Burgundy Domaines (some since the beginning of Armit Wines back in the 1980s) and the Burgundy En Primeur campaign is always a highlight of our annual release calendar.

contrast of high daytime temperatures and

cooler nights, resulting in wines with a fresher character. Harvest dates, critical in solar vintages, saw Chardonnay in ChassagneMontrachet and Puligny-Montrachet maturing rapidly. The harvest commenced in late August for most white growers in the Côte de Beaune and the first week of September for Côte de Nuits and Pinot Noir growers.

Many compared the 2022 Chardonnay with that produced in 2020, but “more precise and lifted, with increased focus and less influence by the generous warmth”, according to Benoit Riffault at Domaine Etienne Sauzet, while Christophe Roumier at Domaine Georges Roumier believes that 2022 will “share many characteristics with 2017: refined, reflecting the terroir, racy and precise”. The wines were often flamboyant and open from an early stage, destined to reveal their true character after a second winter of rest for those patient enough!

The Elegance of the Côte de Beaune The warmth of the vintage, coupled with wines with low malic acid and an early harvest, yielded supple, fruit-rich wines. Even while resting in the cold underground cellars, the wines exuded flamboyance and openness.

The concentrated juice-to-skin ratio brings a certain lift to the wines. The palate, in turn, is refreshing and tense with the Chardonnay displaying crystalline purity, whilst Pinot Noir balances textural firmness with crunchy berries and floral tones. Clothilde Lafarge of Domaine Michel Lafarge is thrilled with the vintage: “we managed to control the solar effect, and the result on both [red and white] is fantastic. It will be a fantastic vintage”.

Buoyed by a plentiful harvest, producers invested in new barrels, infusing the wines with a pleasant spicy and savoury character. This is the case at Domaine de Montille: “we had to increase the amount of new oak, and on certain cuvees, decrease the amount of whole bunch grapes for the sake of logistics. The wines remain very much in the de Montille style, but they will be made more for long ageing with structure and tannic characteristics”.

In the words of Benjamin Leroux, “each wine and each appellation is where it should be”.

Pierre Antonin Darviot from Domaine DarviotPerrin seconded that comment, adding that “old vines have adapted to the drought and warm temperatures. We were all expecting a low yield vintage, but nature gave us abondance and quality”. His Meursault and Chassagne -Montrachet are some of the best examples of classicism and quality. Now on his third vintage at the domaine, Pierre-Antonin has set the bar very high.

The Côte de Beaune performed very well, and each of the key appellations is a classic reflection of its terroir: Volnay is pretty, Pommard is solid, whilst the villages of Meursault, Chassagne and Puligny are pure, precise and on top form. Customers looking for value are advised to explore Ladoix, Beaune, Savigny, the Haute Côtes de Beaune, and the Bourgogne regional appellations.

The Charisma of Côte de Nuits While the northern reaches of the region suffered from water scarcity, notably the sandy

8

parcels of Marsannay and Fixin where the solar character is more prominent, the reds emerged with a richer and juicier profile. According to Pierre Bart of Domaine Bart, “I had to adapt our vinification technique, notably with our whole bunch vinification. The risk of residual sugar within the bunches, combined with a low acid vintage, can be spoiled by bacteria. For me it was essential to first de-stem the bunches, and then add the stems following fermentation to avoid bacterial spoilage. This gives the wines a more lifted profile. I am very happy with the 2022s, firm in texture but pretty and approachable.”

Aurelien Vedet described it as a “technical vintage”, whilst Romain Taupenot of Domaine Taupenot-Merme “welcomed a healthy harvest, with rain at the right time and optimal ripeness.” Both producers excelled in key appellations such as Morey-St-Denis and NuitsSt-George.

Gevrey-Chambertin emerged as a key village of the vintage, with Nicolas Potel from Domaine Roche de Bellene and Jean-Luc Burguet of Domaine Alain Burguet providing us with optimal precision in some of their 1er Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. The quality and focus of the fruit – in particular, the precision and the charm of their 1er Cru Lavaux St Jacques – is simply exemplary. Nicolas has move to 80% of his ageing in large oak contenant, from 600 to 1200 litres, limiting impact of maturation in favour of fruit purity.

Clement Boillot at Domaine Ghislaine Barthod in Chambolle-Musigny has produced some of the most pretty and lifted wines of the vintage, offering delicacy, chiselled freshness and harmony. He shortened the maturation to 13 months in oak, thanks to the wines being open and accessible since the early summer.

Christophe Roumier has done the same, who noted the lower level of alcohol in wines which reveal an extra dimension of elegance.

Across appellations, the reds were pretty and open, even at the Grand Cru level. Early bottling will likely be important for some producers, whilst the cooler temperatures at the end of November will see many wines close down over the winter.

Didier Seguier at William Fevre commented: “the wines now are very pleasant, this is a vintage of precision with real identity of our different terroirs.

WINES TO WATCH OUR EXPERT RECOMMENDATIONS

01 BOURGOGNE HAUTES-CÔTES DE NUITS LES PRIEURÉ Arcenant is known as one of the best wine-producing villages in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits appellation.

The marl and limestone subsoil ensures great energy is infused in these wines which are not to be seen as “just” a regional Bourgogne!

Aurélien Verdet

02 GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN MES FAVORITES

Domaine Alain Burguet

The Burguet family’s favourite plots go in this cuvee of 18 different parcels from across Gevrey-Chambertin. Old vines too, 75 years on average with the oldest planted in the 1910s. The fruit is meticulously picked, triplesorted in the vineyards and again in the cellar with the newly upgraded sorting table. 100% destemmed, ambient yeast fermentation and minimal intervention. This is the wild side of Burgundy with an uncanny level of precision.

03 LADOIX LES BUIS The 1er Cru La Corvee originally comes from within Les Buis and the density of fruit shown in the wines produced from this site make producers believe that all of Les Buis will eventually be promoted to 1er Cru in the coming years.

Michel Mallard & Fils 11

04 FIXIN 1ER CRU LES HERVELETS From red soils and small stones conferring structure and weight, mixed with some sand contributing to the lift and overall balance. This supple version of Fixin is something not to be overlooked with its nicely framed juicy red fruit and precision.

Domaine Bart

05 CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY 1ER CRU LES FUÉES Sitting next to Bonnes Mares Grand Cru, Les Fuées shares a very similar rocky subsoil with its esteemed neighbour and the wine profile is reminiscent of higher ranked vineyards. The 75+ old vines elevate the result, by delivering great concentration and volume.

Domaine Boursot Père & Fils 12

06 CHASSAGNEMONTRACHET 1ER CRU BLANCHOT DESSUS This 1er Cru sits at the bottom of Le Montrachet Grand Cru, its rocky soil composition akin to that of CriotsBâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, making this wine really punch above its weight.

Domaine Darviot-Perrin

07 POMMARD 1ER CRU CLOS DES ARVELETS It’s impossible to not see David Rebourgeon’s touch in his wines as they are as measured and softspoken as him. There’s never imposing power, but more subtlety and grace. Planted on red clay with lots of small stones, this walled-in parcel within the wider cru enjoys a very special micro-climate ensuring optimal protection and even ripeness due to the temperature exchanged between the walls and the vines.

What the producers are saying...

“I love this vintage, which was a very technical one but I am very happy about the result. This is one of the best I ever produced.”

AURÉLIEN VERDET “2022 is a solar but balanced vintage. We managed good control of the alcohol. Overall, it is similar to 2020 but with more freshness due to cooler nights.

Harvest started on 27th August.”

DOMAINE REBOURGEON-MURE “2022 was not a difficult vintage to make, but we needed a lot of work to make it a great vintage. It is consistent for both colours, and we started on 26th August with the white grapes.”

BENJAMIN LEROUX

“It was a dry vintage, characterised by a cold winter and beautiful spring. Flowering happened under dry conditions. Warm weather in June brought drought and hydric stress. At the end of June there was some heavy rain (200 mm) followed by a very hot summer. Fast maturation generated harvest on the 26th of August for Pinot Noir, and the 29th for the Chardonnay. The vintage is comparable to 2017, with great quality and some exceptional wines.”

BOUCHARD PÈRE ET FILS “2022 was a white vintage, and not far from an outstanding vintage for red. Superb and healthy grapes.

Early September harvest.”

DOMAINE FAIVELEY “2022 is a typical vintage, very classic and with a real definition of our terroirs and appellations. We started on the 27th of August.”

DOMAINE BLAIN-GAGNARD

16

“We are welcoming a very classic vintage, with less alcohol, quite similar with 2017, but more intense and more complex. We will probably bottle the wine early as the wines were flamboyant and open very early. Harvest started on 3rd September.”

“A good year. We were quite surprised of the contrast between solar character and the acid. The larger yield helped to maintain the freshness in the wine, and a very good result overall.”

DOMAINE GEORGES ROUMIER

“I am very happy with the quantities and the quality that 2022 brought to us. The warm summer was challenging and we decided to harvest early on the 26th of August. The grapes were healthy with a lot of small grapes, concentrated and acidic.”

“2022 was a solar but balanced vintage, and we managed good control of the alcohol. Overall, it is similar with 2020 but with more freshness due to cooler nights.

Harvest started the 27th of August”.

DOMAINE MICHEL MALLARD & FILS “A beautiful vintage, we started on the 2nd of September, with rain at the right time, no hydric stress, good volume, optimal ripeness, a very healthy harvest, and a very happy Taupenot family.”

DOMAINE JEAN-MARC MILLOT

DOMAINE MARC MOREY “We started the harvest on the 28th of August in 2022. The vines have gained in resilience under a succession of solar vintages, and we are very happy about a very healthy vintage.”

CHABLIS PURITY AND PRECISION 2022

Nestled in the heart of Burgundy, the Chablis wine region is renowned for its exceptional white wines, primarily crafted from Chardonnay grapes. What makes Chablis truly special is its unique terroir—chalky Kimmeridgian soils and a cool climate impart a distinctive mineral character to the wines. Crisp, elegant, and often described as "pure," Chablis offers a refreshing departure from traditional Chardonnays. From the village-level to the premier and grand cru vineyards, each sip is an expression of the region's rich history and a testament to the mastery of its winemakers.

CHABLIS DOMAINE AGNÈS, DIDIER ET FLORENT DAUVISSAT The most recent of the Dauvissat domaines in Chablis, Domaine Agnès and Didier Dauvissat released its first vintage in 1989. It now stretches over 10 ha, with parcels in Petit Chablis, Chablis village and the premier cru Beauroy. Florent, their son, is now at the helm of the property, crafting vibrant, zesty and distinctly mineral Chablis. Despite being a relatively new producer, Domaine Agnès and Didier Dauvissat is already making a name for itself with their pure expressions of Chardonnay.

CÔTE DE BEAUNE TERROIR, CRAFTSMANSHIP & TRADITION 2022

Embracing the southern stretch of Burgundy, the Côte de Beaune wine region is a captivating tapestry of vineyards producing some of the world's most esteemed red and white wines. Known for its distinguished Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the region's wines reflect a perfect harmony of terroir, meticulous craftsmanship, and a profound respect for tradition. The villages of Pommard, Meursault, and Volnay, among others, contribute to the region's diversity, offering a spectrum of flavours from robust reds to opulent whites. Côte de Beaune is a testament to Burgundy's enduring legacy of producing wines of elegance, finesse, and unparalleled complexity.

BENJAMIN LEROUX A dynamic and extremely talented winemaker, Benjamin Leroux made a name for himself at Domaine du Comte Armand where he was the general manager until 2014. Based in Beaune, he launched his own label in 2007, so did two jobs at once for some years. Wines are produced from over 20 vineyards but this remains very much a microwinery. Apart from 8.3 ha owned by the estate, grapes are purchased from trusted growers, most of whom are either organic or biodynamic. In 2017, he took on the running of 2.5 ha in Meursault Blagny.

DOMAINE DE MONTILLE One of the great estates in Burgundy, Domaine de Montille produces incredibly elegant and understated wines.

Established by Hubert de Montille, who inherited a few Volnay vines in 1951, the estate now comprises 37 ha. The wines had a reputation for requiring a long time to reach maturity but under Étienne de Montille, with the help of Chef de Cave Brian Sieve, the aromatic complexity of the wines has been brought to the fore. They provide us in 2022 an aromatic and tense vintage, with an increase of new oak and a decrease of the wholebunch fermentation.

The whites are classic, while the reds will need more time

DOMAINE LEFLAIVE With the 4th generation at the helm, Brice de La Morandière, Anne-Claude’s nephew and great-grandson of founder Joseph Leflaive, continues to work with the same family philosophy of respect for the great ‘’terroirs’’, humility towards the forces of nature and rigour in their relentless pursuit of excellence in winemaking. Brice was joined in January 2017 by Pierre Vincent, Managing Director of the properties. Significant work has been undertaken to make the winemaking more precise, including the selection of a new type of cork, ensuring increased longevity in the wines. The estate has also expanded with nearly 3 ha replanted in Puligny, 7 ha acquired in the Mâconnais and with the creation of a new vineyard planned for 2020 in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune.

DOMAINE MARC MOREY Domaine Marc Morey is one of the best addresses in Chassagne-Montrachet. Sabine Mollard, the fourth generation, continues the work of her predecessors. Her wines are textbook Chassagne-Montrachet combining tension and freshness with richness and effortless power. They are generally matured in around 15% to 20% new oak but this alters depending on the vintage and cru. The wines drink very well early but, with age in the cellar, they take on added depth and complexity. Sabine’s recent focus has been on vineyard management to ensure that the fruit strikes the perfect balance of ripeness and acidity.

DOMAINE LAFARGE Domaine Lafarge has around 10 ha in some of the best plots in Volnay. Frédéric Lafarge joined in 1978 and 2018 was the first vintage he made with his daughter Clothilde. Like his late father Michel, Frédéric is warm and sincere with a deep connection to the land. They believe passionately that the vineyard is the secret to success. Biodynamic principles are followed and the wines are allowed to express the individual characters of each terroir. In the cellar, the wines are gently handled, oak ageing is kept to a minimum and there is virtually no filtration. It seems hardly anything has changed and yet Frédéric has recently introduced innovations including manual destemming for some cuvées and the reintroduction of a basket press, but also the introduction of a 'Spiral vineyard' in the Caillerets cru, inspired from the culture of the Incas. Tasting in Lafarge’s ancient cellar amongst the cobwebs is a transporting experience. Pommard 1er Cru les Pezerolles was pulled out and will come back in 2026.

MAISON ROCHE DE BELLENE Nicolas Potel took his first steps as a winemaker at Domaine de la Pousse d’Or where he worked with his father in the cellar. Following his father he founded Domaine de Bellène with vineyards in Santenay, Saint-Romain, Volnay, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Vosne-Romanée. Some years later he established a négociant business called Maison Roche de Bellène sourcing grapes from trusted growers in some of the most prestigious vineyards in Burgundy.

Nicolas is one of the most dynamic winemakers in the region with an energy and passion matched by few others.

He adopts a natural approach to viticulture, in tune with the conditions each year, and buys grapes from organic growers. With his many contacts up and down the Côte d’Or, he used to produce a staggering selection of wines.

These days he focuses on a smaller number which has enabled him to monitor each cuvée more closely. Large containers have become a norm for Nicolas, with the use of 600 litre and Foudres oak vessels to limit the new oak impact in the wines.

DOMAINE ALAIN BURGUET Based in Gevrey-Chambertin and founded in 1976 by Alain, the estate was formally run by brothers Jean-Luc and Eric. Jean-Luc has been in charge of the domain solely since the 2022 vintage. With 9.5 ha of vineyard, the brothers have a strong focus on sustainable viticulture with biodynamic practices. The bunches are 100% destemmed, with a limited amount of new oak, unfined, unfiltered, and with minimum intervention in term of pigeage and racking.

Jean-Luc strives to continue their father's legacy of wines that are clean and natural with very little sulfur dioxide, expressive of their terroirs, and most of all elegant.

Since 2009 he has been running the domaine and its 22 ha of vines together with his mother and uncle, keeping a strong focus on Marsannay.

DOMAINE GHISLAINE BARTHOD Ghislaine Barthod’s wines are considered to be in the upper échelons of Chambolle-Musigny with very good reason.

She has been at the helm of her estate since 1986 and is one of the great matriarchs of Burgundy. Her style is one of refinement and purity and each wine clearly speaks of its terroir. Ghislaine extracts gently in the cellar and uses a maximum of 30% new oak for the Premiers Crus to ensure the purest fruit expression. She is married to Louis Boillot, a winemaker of his own Domaine. They share the same cellar but run their estates separately. From the 2019 vintage, their son Clement is in charge of the production.

In recent years, Mathilde and Hubert have taken over gradually since 2017. The Domaine extends over 15 ha across 22 appellations with holdings in Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Clos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Richebourg. The vines average 40 to 50 years old.

DOMAINE LOUIS BOILLOT Louis Boillot moved from his family property in Volnay to Ghislane Barthod’s home in Chambolle when they got married. He learnt his craft with his brother and father at Domaine Lucien Boillot until 2003 when he started on his own. Louis’s approach is that of the lutte raisonnée or “reasoned struggle”. Following a sorting of the grapes in the vineyard, all bunches are de-stalked and given a quick soak prior to fermentation, before spending 16-18 months in barrel with no more than 30% new oak. Louis’s wines are wonderfully elegant, precise and tense. Since the 2019 vintage, his son Clement has been in charge of the production.

invoice.

4.5 The price may change if the Goods are subject to any taxes, duties or delivery charges applied in the country you have selected for delivery.

6. Delivery of DP Wine 6.1 We will make every effort to deliver the Goods to you within seven working days of the date of our Order Confirmation if you are located in the mainland United Kingdom (delivery to the Highlands, Offshore Islands and Northern Ireland will take longer). In the event of any unforeseen delay outside of our control, we will inform you of the delay, the reason for it, and of the revised estimated delivery date in writing or by telephone.

This will not affect your right to cancel the Contract.

6.2 If we are not able to deliver the whole of the Order at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, we may elect to deliver it in instalments. We will not make any additional delivery charges for this. If you ask us to deliver the Order in instalments, we may apply additional delivery charges for each instalment. Each instalment shall be subject to these Terms. If we are late delivering an instalment or one instalment is faulty, that will not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.

6.3 If a scheduled delivery fails to arrive by the latest estimated date, please advise us by telephone or in writing as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within seven (7) days of the estimated delivery date.

6.4 Delivery of DP Wine will be completed when we deliver that DP Wine to you or in accordance with your instructions at the delivery address stated in the Order Confirmation. You may be asked to provide our driver with a form of ID (passport or photocard driving licence).

7.5 We will make the refund using the same means of payment as you used for the initial purchase, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the refund.

7.6 We may withhold the refund until we have received the Goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the Goods, whichever is the earliest.

7.7 We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

7.8 In the case of IB Wine you may cancel your Order at any time up to 14 days after the day on which the Wine is transferred to your Private Reserve, without penalty and without having to give any reason. If you decide to cancel you must notify us of your decision, in writing, within the 14 day period as above.

7.9 On receipt of your notification, we will within 30 days remove the relevant IB Wine from your Private Reserve, either refund the appropriate amount to you or credit it against any other amount(s) you owe to us and confirm in writing what we have done.

8. Title and risk 8.1 In the case of DP Wine, the Goods will be your responsibility from completion of delivery.

8.2 Ownership will only pass to you when we receive payment in full of all sums due in respect of the Goods, and any other goods or services that we have supplied to you.

9. Acceptance of Wine and quality control 9.1 It is your responsibility to check the Goods on or as soon as reasonably possible after their delivery to you.

broken or damaged Goods, incorrect quantities or incorrect Goods if you do not notify us of it as soon as reasonably possible and within seven (7) days after the day of delivery at the latest.

9.4 Armit Wines makes every effort to ensure that the wines we sell to you are of satisfactory quality and appropriate for the age of the wine.

9.5 As wines may age and develop in a nonuniform manner, we will not have any responsibility for subjective judgements such as in respect of quality or drinkability. We do not provide refunds for wines that are corked or otherwise out of condition and older wines are therefore sold as seen.

9.6 If any of the Goods are believed to be unsatisfactory, please retain them and let us know as soon as reasonably possible by telephone or in writing (using any of our above contact details).

9.7 If we are satisfied that the Goods were unsatisfactory at the time of delivery, we will replace them.

12.5 Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

12.6 If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking the Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Goods or PR Services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

18.5 We will also invoice you for our charges for receiving, handling and verifying your wine, in accordance with our current tariff or as otherwise agreed.

18.6 If you wish us to take photos of the wines upon receipt for you then we can arrange this for a charge. Contact reserves@armitwines.co.uk for details of charges. We will then arrange for each individual Case to be opened and for its contents to be photographed (except where a Case appears to be chateau-banded and/or a sealed original case or carton, or where you inform us that you have purchased it EP and it will be delivered to us exwinery, we will not open it and will photograph the unopened Case instead). We will send you a schedule of the wine received, and copies of the relevant photographs.

18.7 You must check the schedule and photographs for accuracy and notify any error or omission to us as soon as possible. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the schedule and photographs shall be conclusive evidence of the description and quantity of any CO Wine we accept for storage.

18.9 By accepting any CO Wine for storage, we do not give you any warranty or make any representation to you, except that the CO Wine appears to be as described by you and that the contents of each Case were as depicted in the photographs sent to you, if requested and paid for, at the time they were taken.

18.10 We cannot and do not give any warranty as to the nature or condition of the contents of any individual bottle. We shall owe you no duty or www.armitwines.co.uk/terms-conditions

obligation: 18.10.1 to inform or advise you of any matter concerning the condition or contents of any Case of CO Wine accepted for storage; or 18.10.2 to carry out or suggest any tests in order to authenticate the contents of any individual Case or bottle.

20.2 In the unlikely event of the total loss of any of your PR Wine we will use reasonable efforts to replace that wine.

Unless otherwise agreed, the market value shall be as certified by Liv-Ex or another independent fine wine price index that we nominate.

20.3 If one or more of the bottles in a Case are lost or broken, and if so provided in the insurance applicable at the relevant Site, in addition to the value of the lost or broken bottle(s), we shall also reimburse an amount equal to 10 per cent. of the total value of the Case.

20.4 Please note that the insurance is provided by a third party and will be subject to various exclusions and limitations. You agree that our liability with respect to any loss you may incur will be limited to the amount we may recover under our insurance policy.

20.5 Loss of any PR Wine in these circumstances shall, if it is not replaced, be treated as a withdrawal of that wine for the purpose of calculating PR charges.

21. PR charges 21.1 Our current charges for PR storage and handling, inclusive of VAT and insurance, are published on our website and are payable annually in advance. Wines withdrawn during the year are not eligible for a storage credit. A minimum charge will apply.
