Brothers Marc-Emmanuel and Olivier Cyrot are the fourth winemaking generation of this family domaine. They own six hectares of vines across Pommard, Volnay, Santenay and Maranges.

 

The cellars of Domaine Cyrot-Buthiau are dug into the side of a rocky escarpment in Pommard, adjacent to the premier cru Les Arvelets. 

 

After returning from their studies, the two brothers took back the family’s vineyards from their long-term leases. Olivier is the winemaker, while Marc-Emmanuel looks after the business side, alongside a successful business representing other local growers and advising on vineyard land purchases.

THE 2021 VINTAGE AT DOMAINE CYROT-BUTHIAU

 

Whilst recent vintages have seen the inclusion of a proportion of whole clusters, the 2021s are 100% destemmed. The berries were cold-macerated for 4-5 days before fermentation. Extraction in 2021 took the form of gentle pumping-over, with no punching-down. New oak use ranges between 10% and 30%. 

 

After the “historic” April 2021 frost (Olivier Cyrot’s word), in which the domaine lost between 30% and 80% of the crop, flowering was early and rapid. Harvest started on 18th September. The wines are fresh, with lower alcohol levels than in recent years.
