I learned this only yesterday – so forgive me if it’s old news for you – but it seems that there are significant developments at Domaine de Courcel in Pommard.

After 29 years of working together (since the 1996 vintage), Domaine de Courcel has parted ways with Yves Confuron. They have a new team in place and are in the process ‘of changing everything‘ – from the height of their trelissing and, and, and…

As I understand it, Yves did the elevage of the 2023s and the 2024s but not the bottling. The last ‘full’ vintage that he prepared was 2022. For the record, Yves’ 2023s are still in barrel at the Confuron-Cotetidot domaine in Vosne.

I’ll try to get an appointment to taste the de Courcel 2024s, but of course, these changes will only slowly be reflected by the wines…
