Domaine Michel Rebourgeon 2021 Beaune 1er Cru Les Chouacheux

There’s that ethereal freshness and airiness that this Volnay side of Beaune gives. The fruit finishes sweetly on the back of great acidity. Lovely even young.

It has gone by its present moniker since 1964, and in 1996, Michel’s daughter, Delphine, and her English husband Steve Whitehead took over. This small domain is made up of prime appellations in Pommand, Volnay and Beaune, 4.25 ha (10+ acres) in all. Steve had a wine business in the UK in the 1980s, and it was during that time and via that business that he met his future wife, Delphine. When Delphine’s father, Michel, neared retirement age, Steve left his UK business and joined the Rebourgeon family domain. He and Delphine worked the vineyards themselves. The small production was sold mostly out
