The producer

Founded in 1926 with the bringing together in marriage of the vineyards of Jean Confuron (from Vosne-Romanee) and Anne-Marie Bouchard (from Premeaux). From 1985 the estate has been run by their grand-daughter Sophie along with her husband Alain Meunier; their son Louis Meunier is making the wine. Today the estate covers around 9.50 hectares of land mostly on the Cote de Nuits. The vineyards have been organic since the 1990s.

The wine

Domaine JJ Confuron owns 0.48 hectares of vineyards in Les Chaboeufs premier cru, which sits slightly higher on the slope than the Les Cailles premier cru, and with stone-rich red brown soil. Initially planted in 1979, the plot was partly re-planted in 2012, and has been organically farmed since the 1990s. Grapes are mostly destemmed and fermented traditionally with daily punch downs, followed by ageing in a relatively high proportion of new French oak barrels. Domaine JJ Confuron is arguably one of the best makers of Les Chaboeufs.

We choose our wines based on a range of criteria (see how we choose our wines) of which critic scores is just one. Rather than simply highlight the best score to promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a 92/100 average critic score or better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add individual critic scores to our website in the future.
