Alliance Wine / H2Vin Release Highly Anticipated 2023 Burgundy En Primeur Campaign
We are launching our combined Alliance Wine / H2Vin 2023 Burgundy En Primeur campaign this week, with nearly 350 wines from over 30 of Burgundy’s top producers. The selection is a blend of producers from both Alliance Wine and H2Vin and offers incredible strength and depth.
“We are very proud to be offering, for the first time, a full En Primeur campaign from Burgundy. Our recent acquisition of H2Vin last autumn has provided a wealth of knowledge, new connections and expertise. It is exciting to be working on the opportunities this has opened up for us." explains Ned Llewellyn, Sales Director Alliance Wine
“Our recent trip to Burgundy, ably guided by Christian and Matt from H2Vin, was eye-opening in terms of the wealth of fine, complex and distinctive wines that we are now able to share with our customers. The knowledge and relationships that both Christian and Matt have built over the years are second to none. It was a joy to have the chance to taste in so many cellars and get to see up close what the 2023 vintage has to offer.” continues Ned.
"The 2023 vintage for Burgundy wines is a testament to the skill and adaptability of the region's producers. Despite the varied weather conditions, with cooler and wetter periods earlier in the year followed by higher temperatures around harvest, frost was avoided for the most part in 2023, and the vintage has yielded wines of remarkable quality and character," comments Christian Honorez, Director of Fine Wine at Alliance.
"Many of the reds offer ripe fruit with soft tannins and attractive concentration, making them particularly approachable and enjoyable in their youth. The whites, though initially challenging, are showing remarkable balance and freshness thanks to the meticulous work of the vignerons. With quality consistently high and prices comparable to the 2022 vintage, I believe 2023 offers excellent value and will be highly sought-after." Christian observes.
“It is always a whirlwind to bring a campaign like this to market at the beginning of the year, but this time it’s even more exciting than normal knowing we have a wider audience to engage and hopefully get to share in these wonderful, lively, fresh wines from 2023. We are kicking the campaign off this week and hosting a small selective tasting on Friday 17th, before wrapping everything up the following week” explains Matt Wilkin MS, Director of Prestige Sales at Alliance.
“We were really impressed on tasting the 2023s, at both the levels of concentration and freshness, which is no great surprise when working with such prestigious producers. With 2024 being a very small harvest, we look forward to a busy campaign selling the 2023s.” concludes Ned.
