Domaine Newman

Chris Newman has been steadily acquiring new vineyards in recent years and now owns nearly six hectares of vines. Control of his grand cru holdings Mazi-Chambertin and Bonnes-Mares reverted back to him in 2008, and 2009 was the first year he worked these vines from start to finish. Australian enologist Jane Eyre, who now assists Newman in the cellar, told me that the estate has been 100% organic and biodynamic since 2005. The wines are gently extracted and the malos usually finish early, by the January after the vintage. Bottling normally takes place on the early side, without fining or filtration; indeed, the estate's top 2010s were already in bottle by the time of my November visit. Eyre vinified the 2009 grand crus with about 30% whole clusters but destemmed all of the fruit in 2010. She describes the '10s as lighter wines than the 2009s but perfumed and fresh.
