To simplify your search for emotional wines, I have decided to compile a list of the top emotional producers in each appellation.
Vin d’émotion is quite stable .. I do however adjust from year to year … so … here is the first update in 2025 – Gevrey Chambertin.
Comments to the update
Domaine Jean-Luc Burguet has been included in the list … and could climb even higher. I really enjoyed these wines in 2023. Vin d`émotion … with a lovely potential. Just moved up to two hearts.
Finally Pierre Duroche now are a full Vin d`émotion vigneron … congrats to Duroche for his discrete but relentless fight for quality.
The lists
- Vins d’Emotion from Chassagne-Montrachet and St. Aubin (revised)
- Vins d’Emotion from Morey-Saint-Denis – (revised)
- Vins d’Emotion from Vosne-Romanée and Flagey-Echezeaux (revised)

Dear WINEHOG,
I noticed that you do not mention BRUNO CLAIR anywhere who has first class vineyards in Gevrey (Clos-de- Bère, Clos-st-Jacques, Cazetiers etc…) , Morey (BONNES MARES) , Chambolle (CHARMES, VEROILLES) and even Vosne (Reignots) . He even sells CORTON CHARLEMAGNE. I know opinons are divided but most critics think rather favorably of him….What about WINEHOG?
Greetings from JOHAN
