This is a very exciting collaboration between Dutch Businessman Richard Bos and Domaine dels Comtes Lafon assistant wine maker Thierry Janots. Their only objective is quality and they buy the best grapes money can buy from growers who share this premise. All of their wines are "terroir" driven, and are a true testament how special Burgundy can be.

In an effort to express the minerality of the Saint-Aubin 1er Cru, a pneumatic press is used, moreover only the barrels are chosen that fit best with a given appellation. 20% new oak (Allier) with 80% in 1 to 4 year old barriques.

The great wines of Burgundy are uniquely complex, compelling and at times memorizing. Above all they are evocative, transformative but like all creatures, temperamental and anything but dependable. Two grapes dominate this agricultural masterpiece, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Both grapes achieve their greatest elegance when planted in cooler climates, to which Burgundy is the coolest and most Northern climate of all the major regions famous for red wines. When winemakers talk about Burgundy, they generally speak of terroir, the compilation of the vineyard's soil, slope, orientation, nuance of climate, etc. This concept of terroir is what makes wines produced from grapes even in the same village or vineyard strikingly different. Burgundy is a place of legend, awe and adventure, a place that wine lovers call home.
