Great wine comes from great winemakers.  It only makes sense.

But look at it another way: great winemakers make great wine.  It's a subtle but important difference!

A great winemaker who makes a great grand cru or a great premier cru will also make a great regional appellation wine.

This is one of the main places to look for value in Burgundy Wine.

Here is a selection of appellation Bourgogne from a handful of great producers that will impress you with their precision and finesse.

We often say that we are dedicated to the proposition that you can drink Burgundy everyday.  This is why!

RED WINE
Domaine Les Astrelles Bourgogne Athetes 2022
Exhibits a stunning crimson red hue, indicative of its vibrant youth and Pinot Noir character. It has an immediately engaging with aromas of ripe cherries and a delicate spice profile. The cherry notes are reminiscent of freshly picked fruit, accompanied by subtle hints of cloves and a touch of earthy undertones. Upon tasting, the wine is fleshy and inviting, offering a rich mouthfeel. It showcases a complex structure, more pronounced than its neighbor Les Maladières, providing depth and persistence on the palate. The cherry flavors continue to dominate, interwoven with spicy nuances and a light touch of oak from its aging process. The wine maintains a perfect balance between its robust structure and a delicate, almost ethereal finish, leaving a lasting impression of finesse. Bourgogne "Les Athets" Organic is a beautifully crafted wine with a compelling balance of fruit, spice, and structure. Its fleshy, persistent character combined with delicate nuances makes it an appealing choice for both immediate enjoyment and short-term cellaring (3-5 years). Ideal for pairing with dishes like roasted poultry, mushroom risotto, or soft cheeses.

Domaine Albert Boillot Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2020
Pale ruby in color, this is an elegant, delicate expression of Pinot Noir, full of red berry fruit and silky tannins. The limestone adds complexity in the form of fine, chalky tannins.

Domaine Marchand Freres Bourgogne Cote dÓr Rouge Cuvee Eline 2021
Burgundian winemakers who have been at it for generations often produce AOC Bourgogne that reminds you of the village wine where the domain is based. It makes sense, really: older domains are likely to have their vineyards circled close to home. This Domaine Marchand Freres Bourgogne fools you at first. We tend now to think of them as being based in Gevrey-Chambertin. But that is fairly recent. The domain’s roots are in Morey-Saint Denis. And when you taste this Bourgogne, that’s what you taste. A little Morey Saint Denis. Remarkable.

Chateau Cary-Potet Bourgogne Rouge 2022
A limpid ruby red that catches the light, with raspberry, red currant and even blueberry notes, this is a youthful wine that is easy to drink, full of bursting fruit and discreet tannins.

Jean-Jacques Girard Bourgogne Rouge 2022
Jean-Jacques Girard's family has been making wine in the Savigny-les Beaune valley for 500 years, so it's not surprising to find that his regional appellation Bourgogne Rouge drinks like a little Savigny. Blackcurrant freshness, a touch of earth subsoil, a supple, easy structure and bull's-eye line on through the whole from the attack to the finish.

Marchand-Tawse Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2020
From the first whiff you know there is substance here. The nose is so expressive and full of black fruit. There’s great tannic structure, but well integrated. There’s charm. fresh, soft and spicy. And what you find in the nose lingers to a long delicate finish.

WHITES
Domaine Borgeot Bourgogne Blanc 'Clos de la Carbonade' 2022
This single-vineyard Bourgogne 'Clos de la Carbonade' is wholly owned by the Borgeots. And the wine they make there is the greatest surprise on our list. It's a small parcel, located in the village of Bouzeron, the northernmost village of the Cote Chalonnaise. But don't be fooled by its modest pedigree: the 'Clos de la Carbonade' has something special about it. And year after year we see remarkable wines that far outshine appellations much grander than Bourgogne. The Borgeot's can't explain it...yet. But there is a geological study underway to see what makes this parcel tick.

Domaine Potinet-Ampeau Bourgogne Blanc 2016
Where Monthelie meets Meursault. This is a weighty Bourgogne Blanc, full, round and elaborate.The fruit is juicy and the length is perceptibly mineral.

Domaine Gilles Bouton Bourgogne Blanc 2022
Beautiful example of how good regional classified wines can be. The caveat is that the producer must be top quality, small production. Complex citrus on the attack, with good concentration, saline minerality merges with some white pepper into the finish.

Domaine Felix Bourgogne Cotes d'Auxerre Blanc 2022
Fresh and fruity on the nose with notes of peach and spice. Just a hint of oak. Lively, balanced with good minerality and length.

Domaine Jean Fery Bourgogne ‘Les Montatines’ Blanc 2018
Pure deep fruit, rounded with just enough oak to make your mouth water. Floral and citric, but mouth-filling and long.

Agnes Paquet Bourgogne Chardonnay 2021
Raised partly in steel with a small percentage of oak, this Chardonnay from strong limestone soils in the Hautes Cotes is crunchy, like biting in to the grape bunch, with fantastic freshness and good acidity on the finish. Mineral and pure.
