Coteaux Bourguignons rouge, Domaine d'Alussia, 2023

An address on a new trajectory and definitely a name to watch - we are excited to introduce Domaine d'Alussia for the first time to Honest Grapes club members.

Winemaker Alexandra Wilson joined the domaine in August 2024, bringing valuable experience from her time with Benjamin Leroux and, before that, fellow Australian winemaker Jane Eyre. The team also benefits from the expertise of Bernard Zito, a renowned consultant and specialist in organic and biodynamic viticulture, aptly described by Winehog's Steen Öhman as “The Swiss Army knife of the Burgundy wine world.”

The domaine combines its own vineyards with contracts from trusted growers, offering a diverse range of wines. Notable holdings include a vineyard in Aloxe-Corton near the winery and three Premier Cru sites: Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pommard, and a prized 0.3-hectare plot in Puligny-Montrachet ‘Les Referts'.

"Savoury scented with salami, cured meat, olive tapenade, red berries and a tarry note of reduction. Like its aromas, the palate is savoury with light red fruits. Cranberry, raspberry, artichoke and salami. Mouthwatering acidity and mouth coating smooth/dry tannins. An interesting expression of what the gamay varietal can offer. Fermented and aged in 100% stainless steel."
