At 3 pm Rolando Maya of Argentum Wine Imports picked me up to take me to The Boulevard Cafe on Harbord Street for a tasting of David Butterfield’s Burgundies. David is the son of George Butterfield of Butterfield & Robinson. He was one of the company’s guides in Beaune, where he decided he wanted to become a winemaker. David took a diploma course in 2001 and studied viticulture for two years, working with Pascal Marchand at Domaine de la Vougeraie. He spent six months in New Zealand with Villa Maria and returned to Burgundy to work with Frederic Cossard at Domaine de Chassorney and the following year in Volnay. In 2005 he began making wine under his own label from bought-in grapes. His father-in-law is Jacques Lardiere, the technical director at Louis Jadot, and his wife graduated top of her class in oenology. David’s wine labels feature a big black B.
