Since 1991, the Domaine of Jean-Jacques Confuron has been cultivated organically across eight hectares, boasting a significant portion of old vines, notably in the village of Chambolle and the Romanée St-Vivant, which were planted back in 1929. Grapes undergo destemming and are subjected to a brief fermentation process with gentle punching down to minimize air exposure, eschewing the traditional pumping over method. The winemaking team abstains from post-fermentation maceration, believing that prolonged contact with the skins after fermentation diminishes fruit freshness and terroir expression. Barrels sourced directly from Rémond and Rousseau are utilized at the Domaine, with new wood constituting 50-75% of barrels in general, and 100% for the grand crus.

TASTING NOTES
In this instance, the aromatic profile is marked by spicy, refined, and pure notes of both red and dark currant, Asian-style tea, sandalwood, and anise, which exhibit a noticeable freshness. This freshness extends to the palate, where there's a tension-filled and intricately detailed experience with middleweight flavours. These flavours are notably more refined, culminating in a remarkably long, firm, and youthfully austere finish that is impeccably well-balanced.
