Jessica Litaud- A bright new star of Burgundy.

One of the things about what we do that excites us the most is getting in on the ground floor with new, thrilling producers. Jessica Litaud is one of those 'yet to have name up in lights' kinda winemakers, but we're here to tell you it's coming.

Training and a mentorship with Jean-Francois Ganevat (as pictured above) in Jura is a pretty big deal, and the Jura-esque saline-minerality that runs as a thread through all these brilliant new releases is likely no coincidence. Litaud's work spans a mere five hectares of organically farmed vines, and the production is minute, incredibly hands on and precise. 

 
These are wines of individual expression from the often overlooked Mâcconais parish of Burgundy in France. Each cuvee comes with a sense of purity, finesse and lip-smacking satisfaction though fruit character dials up and down in volume depending on the plot of vines. Freshness is implicit and minerality is a strong word to be thrown at the wines. Burgundy so often can come with cumbersome winemaking edifice of big extraction, lavish oak seasoning and concentration of fruit... the opposite dimensions are found in Litaud's wines. These are stellar wines born of detailed, careful harvest (into 7kg boxes by hand!), a light touch in winemaking, a 10 month spell on lees in older oak barrels and a quiet rest in bottle. Stellar wines. And rare. And so, so good. These are treasures to be enjoyed now, and to stash away to proudly reveal in the future.
