Burgundy Guide
“At the start of each campaign it’s never clear as to whether buying en primeur will see a return on investment in the short term. But in my opinion, having certainty of provenance and securing stocks from your favourite Chateaux makes purchasing futures well worth it.”

Burgundy 2021
2021 was a year to be forgotten by the vignerons of Europe. Harsh frosts in April decimated crops. Exceptionally cool and unsettled weather around flowering, further exaggerated the promise of a small vintage.
But autumn brought a change in fortunes, extended warm sunny days has given the wines of 2021 a fragrant resilience. Framing a terrific terroir expression across the board. – Harriet Tindal MW
Burgundy En Primeur featuring 2021 Releases
En Primeur Burgundy
Burgundy en primeur at Tindal Wine Merchants. Each year, our in depth en primeur offer presents an exceptional collection of Burgundy wines from sought-after producers such as Bouchard Père et Fils, William Fèvre, Olivier Lamy, Jacques Carillon, François Raveneau, Comtes Lafon, and Tollot Beaut. With strict allocations and a series of short vintages in Burgundy, buying en primeur is crucial to ensure stocks for the coming year. That’s why Harriet Tindal MW visits the region in November, tasting the new vintage and producing an exclusive report to accompany the new year’s releases for our customers. We are always happy to offer advise and co-ordinate a purchasing plan that suits each customer’s needs when planning their cellar requirements for the future.
Buying old Burgundy is becoming increasingly difficult, with provenance providing more questions that answers. Buying en primeur and securing your wines direct from the Domaines is our recommendation with the top wines from this region.
