Burgundy



The soils and vineyards of Burgundy have been very well defined thanks to the studious Monks a few hundred years ago - and the swathe of others who have picked up the baton since.

The Golden Slope (Cote D'or) is divided into two; the Cote du Nuit to the north and the Cote de Beaune to the south. Pinot noir dominates the Cote du Nuit as it loves the limestone nature of the soils and Chardonnay thrives in the heavier calcareous marl soils on the Cote de Beaune.

The essence of Burgundy comes down to the place where the vines are grown. The more definitive you can be (e.g. a single vineyard like Grand Cru or Premier Cru) then the higher the price you'll pay. A village wine, which will most likely be a blend of vineyards from within the village won't be as expensive as its origins are a little broader.

To the north, Chablis is an outpost. Lying closer to Champagne than the Cote d'Or, its marine fossil laden soils (Kimmeridgian clay) make scintillating renditions of chardonnay which age beautifully.
To the south the Cote Chalonnais, Maconnais and Beaujolais make wines that are easier on the pocket. There's some great value to be had here. A few different grapes are added to the mix including Gamay and Aligoté (as well as pinot noir and chardonnay).

Red or White?
Both.

Grapes
White: Chardonnay, Aligote
Red: Pinot Noir, Gamay

Styles
The purity of chardonnay is on full display in a bottle of Chablis. Chiselled and tightly wound this is a crisp and salivating white. White Burgundy tends towards a riper heart but with spicy oak support.

  1. P & A Vin de France Grenache Syrah 2021
    P & A Vin de France Grenache Syrah 2021
    The P & A wines are from our friend and Burgundy madman Nicolas Potel. These are the wines that epitomise the term vin-de-soif. These are absolutely gluggable, definitely chillable and straight-up delicious fair from the southern reached of France where Nicolas, via is network of winemaking legends sources fruit from top growers.

    This little beauty is crafted by Potel's partner in crime Stephane Aviron who brings his consdiderable talents to the table. there is an elegance and purity to the wine with underlying terroir drive that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who tried Nicola or Stephane's wines.

    Wafts of raspberries, black plums and sweet spices lure you in. The core is a vibrant and buoyant mass of black and red berries, wrapped in an elegant framework. Subtle notes of rosemary come from a thoughtful use of whole bunch. This overdelivers hands down on its humble price point, no need to second guess here. GABRIELLE POY

    Dried cranberries and spiced black and red cherries on the nose are tempered by faint notes of earth. Its cushioned core offers just the right amount of flesh for a mid-weight style, a spine of savoury tannins corrals the flow of fruit nicely. Its pinot DNA is on full show here as details are threaded throughout its delivery. Signs off with a fine tail of silty tannins. GABRIELLE POY

It's balanced and deliciously ripe. Gee there's a lot to like here for the price - chardonnay lovers unite, this is beauty! GABRIELLE POY

  4. Domaine Chanzy Bourgogne Aligote Les Fortunes 2022
    Domaine Chanzy Bourgogne Aligote Les Fortunes 2022
    Maison Chanzy is a relatively new name in the Bouzeron AOP, but it produces some of the appellation's most interesting wines. ANDY HOWARD MW, Decanter

    Saved from bankruptcy in 2012 Domaine Chanzy is an estate with renewed ambition. They have built a reputation for producing wines that capture the essence of the diverse Burgundy holdings they oversee with a range that is quality from bottom to top. With winemaker Jean-Baptiste Jessiaume this is a star on the rise and given the astronomical pricing of Burgundy these represent some of the best value drinking around.

    The domaine has significant plantings of aligoté of which it produces some of the finest examples in the region and is a feature of the wines from its hometown of Bouzeron

    A mix of tonneau and stainless it feels like someone has out a small fan in the glass wtih yellow tree fruit, apple, baking spice and lemony goodness pours out of the gals. This is no skinny aligote thank god, the often aneamic bones replaced with joyous  upfront fruit all mouthwatering and juicy. It rolls onto the palate with gusto then crunchy fresh acidity cajouls the fruit cutting through the wonderful richness and electrifying the palate as it cascaded through your mouth. So very, very delicious.

  5. Gueguen Chablis 2020 375ml
    Gueguen Chablis 2020 375ml
    Celine Gueguen Brocard and Frederic Gueguen are a refreshing new voice amongst the mineral soils of Chablis. Though their experience runs deep. Celine is the daughter of Jean-Marc Brocard, the respected Chablis estate where she worked with her husband Frederic for over a decade.

    Winegrowing runs in Celine's blood. Plots from her great grandmother established in 1882 have been passed down the line to her. Her mother, also a wine grower instilled a strong work ethic in her daughter. To say wine ran in the family is an understatement.

    That classic stoney-Chablis-esq vibe here. Why do we mentione that because a warming climates and changing syle doesn't always present but here it does. Nice balance with the fresh white tree fruits cut by a saline line of acicidity and sprinkled with a little white pepper, quartzy thing going on. Nice little push of fruit out the back with loveley virbancy and purity offset with a little leesy funk.

  6. Domaine Philippe Collotte Marsannay Les Grasses Tetes 2021 375ml
    Domaine Philippe Collotte Marsannay Les Grasses Tetes 2021 375ml

    From two parcels of old vines; one based on Crinoidal limestone (known in France as Calcaire à Entroques), the other Comblanchien.

    This wine is perfumed and pure with real depth, lovely minerality in an elegant and focused style particularly for 2021. These wines from Collotte are getting better and better each year the cooler classic 21's at the estate have hit the mark. Fine velvety tannins mesh nicely with the small foresty-fruit mix carrying it to a long and satisfying finish. Seamless and classy this is all you could want from a wine like this and more.

  8. Domaine Derey Bourgogne Cote d'Or Rouge 2023
    Domaine Derey Bourgogne Cote d'Or Rouge 2023

    Glowing purple, an exuberant nose, with abundant juicy dark berry fruit energy. All destemmed. A large jug of this would go down handsomely of a summer's evening. Excellent fruit-acid balance, some blackcurrants at the back. Lovely. JASPER MORRIS MW

    An expressive nose of poached plum, violet and earth gives way to racy and well-detailed flavors that conclude in a mildly austere sneaky long finish. Note that the supporting tannins are sufficiently supple such that this could be approached upon release. BURGHOUND

    Deep colour, a glossy purple. Ripe, plush and fruitful. Nice undertow of spice, but the array of dark fleshed fruit is what come across most prominently, it's well rounded and fulsome but the underpinned by fresh acidity and fine, sweet tannins. Nice wine. Some airy, spring forest aromas, little poke and prod of minerality, a subtly sappy feel. Yeah, nice wine! ROSCOE

  9. Roche de Bellene Chablis VV 2021
    Roche de Bellene Chablis VV 2021

    2021 in Chablis produced a tonne of seriously classic, and seriously good, Chablis. The cool season resulted in wines of minerality, pithy fruit, bright acidities, saline/estuarine characters and clean lines. All this can be seen here with a little more oomph and weight, derived from the old vines which Nicolas sources this fruit from. It has a fresh citrus cut that plays well with the salty twang. Good length and plenty of enjoyment here. It will do its thing and expand a little over the next few years, but for me this is a drink now prospect, or over the next couple of summers. It will make a lot of people happy. Chablis for this price is a win that everyone can embrace. ROSCOE

  10. Olivier Morin Bourgogne Blanc Chitry 'Constance' 2022
    Olivier Morin Bourgogne Blanc Chitry 'Constance' 2022
    Olivier Morin took over the family business in 1992, after a first life spent in the music world. The 14ha domaine is currently undergoing organic certification. When he took over, his parents were making just their three appellations: Aligoté, plus Chitryof both colours. The continuity of this approach is reflected in Olivier's 'Constance' cuvées, to which he has added an old-vine Bourgogne Chitry white called Olympe, after the original owner of the vines, and a single vineyard red, Vau de Puits. Olivier Morin likes a long slow fermentation forthe whites, using natural yeasts. The reds are vinified without sulphur until after the malolactic fermentation. JASPER MORRIS, Inside Burgundy

    Textural and elegant Chardonnay from Chitry about 10min South-East of Chablis. Apple and peaches with a delicious vibrant mineral finish; highlighting the Kimmeridgian and Portlandian soils were the vines grow. This is an honest Burgundy wine showing a sense of place and true authenticity.

    Girardin Bourgogne Blanc 2022
    The grapes for Cuvée Vincent are carefully sourced from select vineyards across Burgundy, including sites in the Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise. Inviting aromas of green apple, pear, lemon zest, and white peach, accented by delicate notes of toasted almonds and wet stone. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with crisp acidity framing flavors of citrus, ripe orchard fruits, and a touch of creaminess. The clean, mineral-driven finish leaves a lasting impression of elegance.

  12. Anne & Sebastian Bidault Bourgogne Rouge 2022
    Anne & Sebastian Bidault Bourgogne Rouge 2022
    Fruit for this Bourgogne comes from across the communes in which the family operate. Mostly old-vine plantings and more from clay soils than limestone. Spot on aromatics of cherry inlaid with a hint of Asian spice and blue flowers. The palate gives an immediate sweet fruit attack and quickly settles into a medium-bodied frame. Gentle and flowing rather than a wall of flavour and extract, this Bourgogne shows real earthen terroir characters backed by lovely purity of fruit. Much better than the station typically delivers and at the price it's perfect mid-week Burgundy...don;t get to write that very often. MICHAEL MCNAMARA

  13. Nathalie Theulot Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise Blanc 2022
    Nathalie Theulot Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise Blanc 2022
    Nathalie Theulot’s Côte Chalonnaise white is usually a domaine bottling drawn from vines in Mercurey. In 2022, hailstorms reduced yields by 60%, meaning this year’s wine includes a measure of purchased grapes. It’s a delicious, pulpy white that wafts from the glass with buttercup, fleshy stone fruit and citrus. The palate is attractively punchy and succulent, its’ satiny texture flecked with stone fruits, rock melon and sweet orange with a nip of reduction tying everything neatly together. The finish is bright and tangy with lingering grapefruit pith and smoky spice flavours. Value-conscious Burgundy hunters will find satisfaction here.

  14. Verget Macon Pierreclos En Tremblay 2023
    Verget Macon Pierreclos En Tremblay 2023
    STAFF PICKS 2024 - ALEX DOBSON

    This set of wines from Verget in 2023 are such a pure delight and the Pierreclos En Tremblay a special highlight. There's an effortlessness to this wine that makes it so charming and just a pleasure to drink. Nothing is overworked. The fruit sings joyously and there's a lovely savoury, saline seam that plays off the sweeter elements so harmoniously. There's body, texture and weight here but the feeling overall here is one of energy and life! It delivers a blueprint for great, affordable and affable wine in Burgundy that's getting harder to find, which make this wine an even greater treasure.
    ALEX

    From old vines (70 to 80 years old) growing in schist soils, the 2023 Mâcon-Pierreclos En Tremblay reveals aromas of crisp orchard fruit, citrus zest and freshly baked bread, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy palate that's brighter than the profile I typically associate with this sort of terroir—perhaps because it's made from free-run and first-press juice. WILLIAM KELLEY, The Wine Advocate

  15. Domaine de Bellene Bourgogne Rouge Maison Dieu VV 2022
    Domaine de Bellene Bourgogne Rouge Maison Dieu VV 2022

    Ripe deeply pitched aromas include those of pungent earth, various dark berries and whiff of spice. The delicious, caressing and supple middleweight flavors possess a relatively refined texture for what this is though it contrasts with the slightly rustic finale...it is a quality Bourgogne. BURGHOUND - OUTSTANDING TOP VALUE

    2022 yielded a ripe and fruity, polished and approachable Bourgogne rouge from domaine vines, supple, plush and immediately engaging. I love the balance achieved, the fluidity on the palate, the seamless acids intermingled with very fine-grained tannins. Length is excellent. Very refined and sophisticated wine, one that delivers well above its humble appellation, and drinking well even now, though cellerable into the late '20s without concern.

    Buisson Battault Bourgogne Blanc 2022
    Domaine Buisson-Battault are consistent producers of first class Burgundy. Made by traditional methods, these wines really express the true characteristics of the region. JASPER MORRIS MW

    Overall, there is a lot to like here… they were consistently well-crafted and clearly terroir-driven. NEAL MARTIN, vinous

    Good aromatic width, containing a hint of green citrus. Fresh, broad and attractive in the mouth - that's a lovely village wine. BILL NANSON

    From two leui dits - Les Clous Perrons, les Magnys - in Meursault with time on lees in barrel to bring weight and texture with 12 months and 10% new oak. From vines 50+ and 25+ years old. Again those beautifully handled lees add something to both the feel of the wine and its aromatic profile. That is one of the hallmarks of these wines and its great to see at this level. Ample roundness and generosity, but there is zip and pep too. Salty minerality here! Very good Bourgogne. Better than its classification.

    Francois Carillon Bourgogne Rouge 2021
    While there is no reviews for this rouge, he doesn't make much, we continue to buy it every year as the quality has been consistently excellent. So much so that it seems to be popping up in more and more staff orders, always a good sign. The red also has garnered a bit of a following here amongst some customers. For the price I think it's a bit of a steal, many Bourg Rouge are now topping the $100 mark. He doesn't make us take it, we buy it because we think it's excellent. I suggest trying some yourself.
