There are two Burgauds in Beaujolais. Admittedly, Alexandre is less well-known than his cousin Jean-Marc Burgaud, but that is partly because he is a relative newcomer, having debuted with the 2013 vintage. (Amusingly, Jean-Marc tells me later that their age difference often means that people mistake Alexandre as his son.) He farms 15 hectares of vine, the heart in Beaujolais-Lantignié.
Speaking together and taking a brief look over his bush vines just below the winery, it is clear that he believes there is immense untapped potential in Lantignié. He told me that yields were 30hl/ha for 2021 and 2022 due to the lack of water and frost. His wines are made with whole bunches and aged in concrete. While he does not quite achieve the heady heights of his cousin, there is clearly a lot of potential here. His 2021 Beaujolais-Lantignié Les Collines des Chermieux comes from a parcel of 70-year-old vines, and that maturity is reflected in a wine representing unbeatable value for money.
