2022 Si Tu Sais , En Chantemerle, Cote De Nuits Villages

Si Tu Sais is one of Burgundy’s most exciting micro-négoce projects, founded by Patrick Johnston and Sara Cunningham. What started as a one-time harvest at Maison Harbour in 2017 quickly turned into a lifelong pursuit of making exceptional, terroir-driven wines. By 2020, they were producing wine in tiny quantities—just 4.5 barrels. A tough 2021 meant only 2 barrels, but by 2022, they expanded production to 17 barrels and have since settled at around 25 barrels a year.

Located in the picturesque village of Chamilly, Patrick and Sara work hand in hand with growers who practice biodynamic and chemical-free viticulture. Their wines are all about purity, freshness, and balance, inspired by winemakers like Vincent Dancer. They embrace a modern Burgundy style—low intervention but clean and precise. Low-temperature fermentations preserve aromatics, aging in mostly old barrels enhances texture, and whole-cluster use is carefully managed to add structure without greenness.

The name Si Tu Sais is a nod to the intimate nature of Burgundy’s winemaking community—“if you know, you know.” With microscopic production (never more than 1,000 bottles per cuvée), these wines are highly sought after. They focus on quality over quantity, handpicking fruit from top vineyard sites to craft wines with energy, depth, and tension. With just a few harvests under their belt, they have already made a name for themselves, and the wines are quickly becoming allocation-only.
