BURGUNDY
The most revered wine region in the world, Burgundy’s producers – most of them small and humble – make Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sought out the world over. While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!
A lot of the Burgundy producers we work with make tiny amounts of wine and availability can be severely limited. The best way to make sure you have access to these limited wines -- and to get them for the best possible prices -- is to sign up to our free newsletter!
BURGUNDY WINE REGIONS:
Jerome Chezeaux, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, 2016
Domaine Jerome Chezeaux has been working with super importer Neil Rosenthal for 25 years. The Chezeaux family make a full range of wines from 11 + hectares of old vines in the Cote de Nuits. We are lucky that these fine vineyards remain in their capable hands. The wines are very pure and represent great value. His daughter Lyse has joined him and like most modern young Burgundy growers she has completed a series of international internships. She will carry on the family tradition and bring fresh ideas. A new generation is reinvigorating the Cote d'Or. Many young women are contributing to this renaissance in Burgundy. Traditionally made, hand harvested, indigenous yeasts and bottled unfiltered after a 18 to 24 month elevage. A maximum of 30% new oak is used, none on the Bourgogne rouge. The wines have an understated elegance, they are fresh and precise.
