Burgundy
When it comes to the world of fine wines, Burgundy stands tall as one of the most revered and sought-after regions. Renowned for its exceptional terroir and commitment to quality, Burgundy has long captivated enthusiasts with its exquisite and highly prized wines. Today, let us delve into the realm of the best and most expensive wines that Burgundy has to offer, a realm where true wine aficionados can indulge in the pinnacle of winemaking excellence.
At the heart of Burgundy's prestige lie its renowned vineyards, which have garnered global acclaim for their exceptional wines. The names that resonate in the world of Burgundy are Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, Domaine Armand Rousseau, and Domaine Georges Roumier. These vineyards have become synonymous with greatness, crafting wines that define elegance, complexity, and longevity.
Burgundy's most esteemed wines are crafted from two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The region's red wines, made predominantly from Pinot Noir, display a finesse and purity of fruit that are unmatched. Vineyards such as Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, and Richebourg produce red wines that command astronomical prices due to their exceptional quality and limited production.
For white wine enthusiasts, Burgundy's Chardonnay-based wines are a true revelation. Vineyards like Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, and Meursault showcase the full potential of this noble grape, producing wines of unparalleled richness, depth, and complexity. These whites epitomize the artistry of winemaking, with each sip revealing layers of flavors and a harmonious balance between fruit, minerality, and oak.
In the world of fine wines, Burgundy stands as an epitome of elegance, complexity, and refined craftsmanship. Its best and most expensive wines are a testament to the region's unwavering commitment to excellence, terroir-driven winemaking, and the artistry of the winemakers.

The 2019 Chablis-Villages is well defined and pure on the nose, offering scents of dried honey, dandelion and a little quince jus, all pretty and growing in stature with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a waxy-textured opening. There’s good depth for a Village Cru, and a slightly pithy, peach skin finish. Excellent.Inc. GSTSG$568.52 -

(5-Star Wine) Pale to mid lemon, a little oak, noticeable power but not heat. There is quite a wealth of fruit here and it kicks on to another dimension as if it were 1er cru. Exceptional persistence. Full and ethereal. Cannot imagine better Drink from 2024-2028.Inc. GSTSG$2,623.06 -

The 2021 Chablis-Villages comes from two parcels, the main one just opposite Epinottes. It shows quite a bit of reduction though you can still tell there is plenty of vibrant, citrus-fresh, blood orange-tinged fruit underneath. The palate is well balanced with a lilting entry, fine weight, just a very slight honeyed texture on the mid-palate and smile-inducing purity towards the finish. Enjoy this over the next decade.Inc.

Pale lemon yellow. Some generous fruit on the nose, yet with salinity leading the way. There is a fine core through the middle, apples and a little saline citrus, the fruit builds further at the back of the palate. Drink from 2026-2030. Tasted May 2024.Inc. GSTSG$2,345.11 -

A background note of pain grillé frames a notably ripe and still attractively fresh nose that displays notes of white orchard fruit that is cut with floral and discreet oyster shell nuances. The generously proportioned and ullterly delicious medium-bodied flavors possess fine complexity and punch on the mouth coating, mineral-driven and impressively long citrus-infused finish. Like most '05 Chablis this is not a laser beam of Chablis character yet for those who enjoy richer and full-bodied examples of Blanchots, this certainly qualifies. Note that for my taste this has just arrived on the front edge of its peak drinkability though it will easily hold for years to come.Inc. GSTSG$8,885.11 -

Bright, pale yellow. Reticent aromas of white peach, lemon and resiny oak, with a violet topnote. Suave, full and quite dry, in fact downright austere on the back half. A more opulent but less refined style than the Montee de Tonnerre or Butteaux but at the same time almost musclebound today and very difficult to taste. Blanchots makes a heavy wine in the hot years, notes Raveneau, adding that this holding features the estate's oldest vines.Inc. GSTSG$3,694.77 -

(from tank) Pale yellow-green. Reduced, slightly metallic aromas of lemon and white flowers. Penetrating acidity and citric cut give outstanding power and thrust to the palate. For all its stoniness, this avoids coming off as overly austere thanks to its near-perfect sugar/acid balance. Finishes with outstanding length and grip, but this will require at least six to eight years to harmonize its elements.Inc. GSTSG$1,589.85 -

The 2013 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchots is much more reserved on the nose, biding its time, not wishing to make a grand entrance like some of the more expressive premier crus at this stage. The palate is fresh and crisp, again with impressive salinity and hints of ginger lending spiciness on the back palate. It does not quite deliver grand cru weight and penetration on the finish, mainly due to the vintage, but it does linger incredibly long afterward.Inc. GSTSG$1,208.35 -

The 2016 Chablis Blanchots Grand Cru has a complex, quite beguiling bouquet with scents of dried honey, acacia, pressed flowers and orange blossom that unfold in the glass and attain quite a high level of intensity. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, taut and poised with hints of spice, orange rind and grapefruit towards the pixelated finish. What a great Blanchots from Isabelle Raveneau. Tempting in its youth for sure, but it will reward those with the nous to cellar for five years.Inc. GSTSG$1,077.90 -

The 2018 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru is a wine of tremendous aromatic lift, perfume and energy. Bright citrus peel, white flowers, crushed rocks and intensely saline notes inform this bright, tightly wound Chablis. The 2018 is going to need a bit of time in the cellar to fully come together. It is a classically austere, forbidding young Chablis in a style that is unusual for the year, and I mean that in a positive sense.Inc. GSTSG$932.58 -

As is often the case, this is aromatically quite similar to the Montée de Tonnerre with just a touch more wood in evidence. Here too the slightly richer flavors possess an equally gorgeous texture with a bit more mid-palate stuffing to the intense, powerful and bone-dry finale that exhibits simply huge length. This beauty is even firmer, and I wouldn't even think about opening a bottle for at least 10 years, research purposes aside!Inc. GSTSG$984.90 -

The 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot is a broad, enveloping wine, wafting from the glass with aromas of orange oil, apricot, freshly baked bread, green apple, pastry cream and petrol.

The 2021 Chablis Blanchots Grand Cru has the most "classic" or what you might call "old school" bouquets amongst Raveneau's 2021s and I love it: razor-sharp, struck flint and granite scents. The palate is very taut on the entry, linear, a vertical Chablis that feels very long with a saline finish that lingers in the mouth. What a superb Blanchots - one for Chablis purists.Inc.
