Burgundy

Burgundy, the mythical home of wines made from Pinot Noir & Chardonnay … don’t forget Aligoté & Gammay too!

Located in the middle of France on the eastern side. There is no other wine region that has been defined in such incredible detail. Each vineyard has been named and classified. Within these vineyards their are also Lieux Dits  referring to a specific part of a vineyard or region recognized for its own topographic or historical specificities.

This detailed definition allows for the equally detailed exploration of terroir. Hereditary tittle law in France has seen vineyards split between siblings generation after generation. Many incredibly small parcels producing only enough grapes to yield a single barrel of wine exist. This further extends our ability to see terroir in action vs the hand of the maker with many of the great vineyards having dozens of owners each producing minuscule volumes of wine.

The opportunity to taste them side by side is becoming increasingly difficult as scarcity drives prices up!

The most famous and coveted wines are the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of the Côte de Nuits and Côte du Beaune. Together they form a narrow escarpment running north-south over a distances of less than 50kms.

Much further north the Chardonnay from Chablis stands comfortably on it’s own two feet with some delicious mineral, fine wines with insane ability to age.

To the south excellent wines are produced in the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais, home to Chardonnays of exceptional value & personality.

Further again the Gammay from Beaujolais represents some of the beast value wines from Burgundy.

We’ve shared a series of articles in the Wine Bites Mag “Getting Your Head Around Burgundy” deep diving into the region.

Where marginal climate saw a high proportion of tough vintages in Burgundy. In ability to rippen grapes is less often a problem today. Catastrophic frosts and hail storms more of an issue.

Chardonnay from Rully, Côte Chalonnaise

Domaine A et P de Villaine Rully Blanc 1er Cru ‘Cloux’ 2022

The nose is refined, persistent and offering ethereal aromas of peach and mandarin, supported by an enjoyable oak presence.The palate is fresh and the definition of terroir becomes clearer as the tasting progresses. Rich flavours linked to aromas from Chardonnay, then you move to bitter skins associated with the bitterness from new barrels which render the wine very salivating. This length extends the quality of the fruit and the expression of terroir, together with almost marly notes, refre

Bright and vibrant ruby colour. On the nose there is a seductive and aromatic bouquet shared between aromas of red fruits such as black cherry, raspberry and a finish of floral and spicy notes.The palate distinguishes itself with freshness nourished by a fully integrated acidity which reveals fruity and once again spicy flavours of this wine. The palate is silky and balanced thanks to ripe and fine tannins. They soften the palate and lengthen its sensation of rich and elegant texture. They n

Domaine Joannes Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er ‘La Platière’ 2019

Deep and concentrated, the 2019 Pommard 1er Cru La Platière evokes aromas of rose petals, red berries, Indian spices, raw cocoa and loamy soil.

Domaine Louis Boillot Gevrey-Chambertin ‘Les Evocelles’ 2019

“Royal purple, the nose has some real concentration in a relatively ripe configuration. Certainly this Evocelles starts out as plump and rich, then with firmer tannins. Dark fruit. Not quite together yet but packs a punch and is persistent.” Jasper Morris, 90-93 Points

Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru 'Les Cents Vignes' 2022

Pinot Noir from Beaune, Côte du Beaune

Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru ‘Les Cents Vignes’ 2022

Darker and a little more brooding than the Savigny 1er. Opening beautifully in the glass with impressive mid-palate weight. Flowing and fanning out. Again, impeccably resolved and layered wine. Deftly handled stalk use yielding lovely spices and a hint of musk. Delicious drinking.Paul Kaan, Wine DecodedThe 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Les Cents Vignes bursts with aromas of plummy fruit, sweet spices and crushed mint, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and charming palate that's meltin

The palate is very well-balanced, with a patina of new oak that needs to be subs

Pinot Noir from Volnay, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils Volnay 1er ‘Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvee Carnot’ 2020

Very ripe liqueur-like aromas of various black berries are nuanced by plenty of spice and floral elements. There is excellent underlying tension to the beautifully textured medium weight flavors that also brim with sappy dry extract and minerality, all wrapped in a bitter pit fruit finale that offers impressive persistence. This is definitely atypical but the intrinsic class of a fine Caillerets is still present. 2032+Allen Meadows, Burghound
