Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
The Bignon parcel has red clay soil, not dissimilar to that found in pockets of Pommard. It usually produces an easy-going, fruit-forward wine, but the 2024 has some serious structure in there. It might need a little more time than the Clou, but it will reward the patient.

The 2024 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc Montagne 382 has a taut, fresh, sea spray and wet wool-tinged bouquet that gradually unfolds in the glass. Wonderful delineation (comme d'habitude). The palate is vibrant and quite spicy, edgy, the malic acid driving this along with a twist of bitter lemon on the finish. Cutting!
The 2024 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Bignon 421 has a mixture of red and black bouquet, briar and thyme, with a touch of bell pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy tannins, cranberry and wild strawberry, more austere than the 2023. There's just a bit of reduction to contend with on the finish, but it will be racked before bottling in March next year.
