Jean-Marc Burgaud established his estate in 1989 in Villiers-Morgon, after training as a winemaker in Burgundy. In 1992, he took over the vines in the Côte de Py sector, previously farmed by his father-in-law. Treatments are predominantly based on copper and sulfur, but organic certification is not claimed. Indeed, Jean-Marc Burgaud prefers to retain some flexibility in the event of high disease pressure, as in 2012 and 2013.
Now spread across nearly 19 hectares of vineyard, Jean-Marc Burgaud drew heavily on his time in Burgundy for his plot-by-plot approach to viticulture (the famous Burgundian climats), leading to the creation of several distinct cuvées (Les Charmes, Grands Cras, Côte de Py, Javernières, James…). Jean-Marc Burgaud also brought back from his time in Burgundy a refined technical approach to winemaking and the ageing of his wines (partial destemming and longer ageing times depending on the profile of the vintage). Such methods, adapted to the Gamay variety, are aimed at achieving ever greater precision, and it must be said that the entire range of his wines is superb. Critics have widely recognised Jean-Marc Burgaud's talent, with wines receiving very high scores, and even though the majority of the plots at Domaine Jean Marc Burgaud are located on the famous Côte de Py of Morgon, they are nonetheless well differentiated. The range of wines offered reflects a coherence that begins with light, fruit-driven wines: the Beaujolais Village (from granitic terroirs) and the Régnié. Then come wines that are still fruity but with medium ageing potential: the Burgaud Morgon les Charmes and the Burgaud Morgon Grands Cras cuvée, from a more clay-rich terroir. The Burgaud Morgon Côte de Py offers a fuller, more serious profile, with delicate aromas of peony and burlat cherry, while retaining a heightened minerality. The Burgaud Morgon Javernières, isolated as a separate cuvée since 2007, is sourced from a small plot of fifty-year-old vines, which lend it finesse and elegance. Finally, the Jean Marc Burgaud Morgon James cuvée is the archetype of a deep, powerful and structured wine, one that deserves to be waited for between 5 and 10 years depending on the vintage. A rare white Beaujolais cuvée is also offered — sourced from Chardonnay replanted on an old and tiny (0.5 ha) century-old Gamay plot — but barely more than 1,300 bottles are produced each year. Domaine Jean Marc Burgaud is at the pinnacle of its art, proving that the crus of Beaujolais can be truly remarkable when the production of the wines is entrusted to artists.
