Wine lovers will hope that the high yields mean price increases will remain rare and fairly modest. The general feeling in the industry is that prices have been rising too far, too fast and most growers seem prepared to hold the line.

Moderate prices and attractive, early-drinking wines mean there will be many wines that are eminently worth buying.

These include both top-end must-haves, such as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Domaine Armand Rousseau, but also the premiers crus from reliable but less exalted names such as Domaine Bruno Clair and Domaine Jean Chartron, which should be purchased en primeur to ensure availability.

Wines for everyday drinking should be in good supply.

Overall, consumers will easily buy delicious wines for short to mid-term drinking in the 2023 vintage.

Buyers looking for value from the 2023s should seek out reds from Fixin, Marsannay and Santenay, and whites from the Mâconnais, Auxey-Duresses and Monthélie, as well as wines of both colours from the villages of the Côte Chalonnaise (Bouzeron, Rully, Givry, Montagny etc).

Choose value wines with care, however, as some producers working at lower price points may have harvested an over-abundance of grapes with all the pitfalls that entails.

This problem tends to be particularly acute for white wine producers when it’s exacerbated by low acidity.
