After spending eight years rubbing shoulders and making wine with none other than Frédéric Cossard, Maxime Crotet returned to his home village of Beaune in 2021 to begin his own winemaking journey. Fortune doesn't always favour the brave though, as 2021 saw severe losses to harvests in Burgundy, meaning Maxime had no other choice but to source fruit from friends and contacts in other regions, including Beaujolais, Alsace, and the Jura. As a result, Maxime ended up with a bountiful selection of Gamay, Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Trousseau, Chardonnay, Savagnin, Grenache and Carignan, to name a few, all of which he harvested himself, before vinifying everything in his cellar in Beaune.

Crotet prefers the natural approach to winemaking, using zero additives unless he considers it absolutely necessary. Wines are fermented in small tanks, before being transferred to small, mostly neutral barrels for anywhere between 8-10 months. His reds are all fermented without de-stemming, with some carbonic maceration utilised to really help the fruit sing. Tiny amounts of sulphur are used at bottling, but only for stability.

All of Maxime's wines are alive with life and energy, terroir driven and, crucially, incredible value without ever compromising on quality. From the fresh and lean Macon 'Peronne' to the perfumed and ethereal Bourgogne Hautes Cotes VV, the house style is one of abundant character, with everything drinking beautifully already and showing huge promise for what's to come in the future.

After spending eight years rubbing shoulders and making wine with none other than Frédéric Cossard, Maxime Crotet returned to his home village of Beaune in 2021 to begin his own journey. A couple of tricky vintages led him to source some négociant fruit, but he is now firmly back with his focus on Burgundy.

Crotet leans towards a natural approach in the cellar, using zero additives unless absolutely necessary. Fermentations take place in small tanks before the wines are transferred to small, mostly neutral barrels for eight to ten months. The reds are fermented whole bunch, with a touch of carbonic maceration to help the fruit really sing. Tiny amounts of sulphur are added at bottling, purely for stability. In recent years the reds have become even more ethereal as he refines and homes in on the house style.

All of Maxime’s wines are energetic, with drinkability at the fore. Yet, they are terroir-driven and, crucially, offer incredible value without ever compromising on quality. Yes, you read that right. Properly made, squeaky clean Burgundy that will not cost you the earth. Miracles do happen!

How could we sweeten the deal even further? We have put together a mixed pack to introduce you to the house style. Some whites, some reds and even a maceration. Better still, you will find even sharper value on what are, in my eyes, some of the best-priced Burgundies on the market with a little 10% discount.

LIFE IS GOOD!
