Domaine Bernard Burgaud is located in the commune of Ampuis, at the heart of the Côte-Rôtie appellation. Its 4 hectares of vines, 100% Syrah, are spread across the following plots: Le Champin, Côte Blonde, Fonjeant, Leyat, Les Moutonnes and La Brosse. His grandfather Olivier Burgaud, who had a keen interest in viticulture, created a few plots around 1950 to complement his predominantly agricultural estate. In 1980, his son Bernard Burgaud founded the estate under his own name, which from then on focused solely on bottling and expanded their holdings to 4 hectares. Bernard was part of a generation of winemakers who embodied the revival of Côte-Rôtie. He also spent nearly 40 years refining his farming techniques (for example by maintaining "cover plants" around the vines), while also modernising and optimising his cellar by installing a pneumatic press and using suspended vats that allow for gravity-fed vinification, eliminating the need for a pump.
Since 2020, Pierre Burgaud, Bernard's son, has succeeded his father at the head of this family estate. In Côte Rôtie, the slope (sometimes up to 50%) makes mechanization impossible, so the estate has created an ingenious zipline system for harvesting. The vineyard work is manual and executed with great care, which is far from easy, but Pierre Burgaud thus ensures perfect continuity and quality of his production. Aging takes place in oak barrels (renewed at 20% each year), racked every 3 months to oxygenate and naturally clarify the wine, and after 15 months, the wine is bottled. While many Côte Rôtie estates are increasingly creating a range of single-parcel wines, the estate.
Bernard Burgaud produces a single blend of his 6 parcels in order to best reflect the identity of his terroir. As the average age of the vines begins to exceed 40 years, their Côte Rôtie reveals lovely aromas of blackcurrant cream, black olive, freshly ground pepper, spices, and floral notes of cornflower and old-fashioned rose. On the palate, the structure is well balanced, with frank tannins, and a juicy texture full of fruit. The purity and youth of recent vintages are very promising after 4 to 7 years of aging. A Côte-Rôtie for Syrah enthusiasts.
