Domaine Lucien Camus-Bruchon Bourgogne 2019

Delightful Burgundy from renowned 4th-generation winemaker Guillaume Camus, based in Savigny. It tastes way superior to its Bourgogne label, thanks to

Fine Pinot Noir from Guillaume Camus – a star of southern Burgundy. Wine Advocate wrote of him, "an excellent source for keenly priced, classically balanced wines." This impressive young winemaker spends most of his time tending the old vines on his estate, just like his father Lucien did, because ultimately that’s where quality is decided. This is the domaine's fine entry-level Bourgogne - an expertly made wine using some grapes from the estate's old Savigny vineyards to lend extra berry flavour intensity. A year's oak ageing adds the kind of complexity normally found in a 1er Cru and contributes to its appealing silky texture – the trademark of fine Burgundy. Exceptional value – savour with creamy chicken or wild mushroom dishes.

From Californian fruit grown at well-sited vineyards in Lodi and Clarksburg, between San Francisco and Sacramento, comes this vibrant Pinot offering attractive raspberry, red cherry, mushroom and clove aromas. Lodi is known for producing plush, ripe fruited grapes, while in cooler Clarksburg the grapes retain natural acid and slightly firmer tannins. The blend comes together with a palate that is soft, ripe and round. Subtle tannin and fresh acidity brings through a burst of juicy red fruit. Easy drinking.

Located in the foothills of the Yarra ranges, Long Gully was established in the early 1980s before being purchased in 2018 by the Magdziarz family and Vin Lopes, who have invested significantly to restore the vineyards and winemaking operation. The 2021 was the first pinot produced purely from the estate’s vineyards. Pristine fruit on the nose – raspberries and cherries – and a savoury waft of bacon. Lovely mouthfeel; tart raspberries and cherries on the palate. Perfectly balanced acidity and soft tannins. A Yarra Valley winery on the rise, well worth getting to know.
