6 December 2022 Below is a list of the UK merchants we suspect may be offering 2021 burgundies en primeur, although the volumes are much smaller than usual this year, limiting the number of different wines produced as well as the quantities of each wine being sold. For the same reason, some merchants, for example A&B Vintners, Armit, Corney & Barrow, Lay & Wheeler and H2Vin, are not holding the tastings they usually hold during Burgundy Week (c 9–13 January) this year, so we may not be able to taste as many wines as usual. And even more wines than usual will be available on allocation only.
The list is provisional and based on those who have made offers in the past. Merchants in bold have already confirmed that they are offering the 2021s. Where they have an offer on their website, we've linked to it, or will do so once the offer is published. (The dates in brackets indicate when the offers are predicted to go live.)
Feel free to suggest updates to this list via [email protected].
