DROP 27
Drop 27 – I FOLLOW YOU, YOUR BURGUNDY OVERDOSE
With Maison Aymon, Maison Glandien & Domaine Jean Javillier
I know exactly why you are here.
And no — I’m not here to cure the obsession. I’m here to feed it.
For Drop 27, we stay in Burgundy and go straight into the thing that keeps pulling us back: tiny volumes, precise vineyard work, impossible parcels and wines that are never just bottles, but little fragments of place, timing and obsession.
This drop brings together three different sides of Burgundy. Maison Aymon brings the new-generation rush: micro-cuvées, close parcel work and that nervous energy of a project built far away from the obvious Burgundy machine. Maison Glandien brings the raw intensity of Tino Kuban’s world — precise, uncompromising and deeply connected to the pulse of Les Jardins Vivants. Domaine Jean Javillier brings the classic Meursault counterpoint: old parcels, family work and the kind of Burgundy that reminds you why this region got under our skin in the first place.
Different generations. Different stories. Different energies.
But one common thread: serious work in the vines, precise hands in the cellar and wines that do not let you leave after one glass.
This is Burgundy as a craving.
Inside the box
Bourgogne Aligoté 2024 – Maison Aymon
This is Aligoté under the Bourgogne Aligoté AOC, produced in small quantities from closely followed négoce parcels. The work starts in the vineyards, which are accompanied throughout the year, and continues in the cellar with ageing in barrels for around 10 to 12 months.
Drinking recommendation: Drink now with some air or keep for two to four years
Bourgogne Chardonnay 2024 – Maison Aymon
This is Chardonnay under the Bourgogne AOC. The grapes are whole-bunch pressed with a small vertical press, then aged on fine lees in a mix of tank and barrel, without bâtonnage. A small-volume Burgundy Chardonnay, built on clarity rather than noise.
Drinking recommendation: Drink now with air or keep for three to five years
Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune 2024 – Maison Aymon
This is Pinot Noir under the Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune AOC. The wine is made with 100% whole bunches, short macerations and very gentle extraction, then aged for 10 to 12 months in oak barrels without new oak. Produced in only around two barrels, it stays on the finer side of the Hautes-Côtes.
Drinking recommendation: Drink now with air or keep for three to six years
Gevrey-Chambertin “En Champs” 2024 – Maison Aymon
This is Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, coming from the lieu-dit En Champs. It is the cuvée in the range most marked by whole-bunch vinification, with short macerations, gentle extraction and ageing in oak barrels for 10 to 12 months, without new oak. Produced from just one barrel, this is one of the smallest red wines in the line-up.
Drinking recommendation: Open with air or cellar for five to eight years
Pommard “Les Levrières” 2024 – Maison Aymon
This is Pinot Noir from Pommard, coming from old vines in Les Levrières, close to the famous Épenots. The red wines are made with 100% whole bunches, short macerations and very little extraction, then aged for 10 to 12 months in oak barrels without new oak. Produced from just one barrel, this is one of the tiniest wines in the range.
Drinking recommendation: Best with a bit of time, or cellar for five to ten years
Pommard 1er Cru 2024 – Maison Aymon
This is Pinot Noir from Pommard 1er Cru, coming from parcels situated in the heart of the Pommard slope. The red wines are made with 100% whole bunches, short macerations and very little extraction, then aged for 10 to 12 months in oak barrels without new oak. Produced from only around two barrels, this is one of the most limited wines of the drop.
Drinking recommendation: Cellar if you can, or open with proper air; best over five to twelve years
Meursault “Les Narvaux” 2024 – Maison Aymon
This is Chardonnay from Meursault, coming from the village lieu-dit Les Narvaux. The site sits above the 1er Crus Genevrières and Poruzots, on a well-exposed slope where the soils range from moderately deep to very rocky. The grapes are whole-bunch pressed with a small vertical press, then aged on fine lees.
Drinking recommendation: Drink with air or cellar for four to eight years
Les Cailloux 2024 – Maison Glandien
Les Cailloux 2024 is Chardonnay from Rully, coming from higher, west-facing parcels where the soils carry more limestone and less clay. The vines were planted in the 1980s, and the wine is aged in one foudre, one 500L barrel and one 400L barrel — all new oak. A Rully shaped by altitude, limestone and a very precise élevage.
Drinking recommendation: Give it air now or cellar for four to seven years
Meursault “Les Tillets” 2024 – Domaine Jean Javillier
Les Tillets 2024 is Chardonnay from Meursault, from the lieu-dit Les Tillets. The parcel comes from around 40-year-old vines, with only about 1,600 bottles produced per year. Sitting on the higher part of Meursault, Les Tillets gives this village wine a more lifted and precise frame.
Drinking recommendation: Drink with air or keep for four to eight years
Meursault “Les Petits Charrons” 2024 – Domaine Jean Javillier
Les Petits Charrons 2024 is Chardonnay from Meursault, from the village lieu-dit Les Petits Charrons. The climat covers 3.64 hectares and sits east of Les Rougeots, on relatively flat ground. The fruit is gently pressed, settled for 24 hours, fermented with naturally occurring yeasts, and aged for 12 to 14 months in old oak barrels.
Drinking recommendation: Drink with air or cellar for four to eight years
