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 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté was bottled in April. It has a clean and sharp bouquet—a little more malic, perhaps from the fruit located up in the Hautes-Côtes. The palate is well balanced, a little oily in texture, with fine acidity and a lighter, sour lemon- and ginger-tinged finish. Enjoy this over the next four or five years.Inc. GSTSG$273.07 -

The 2022 Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Aux Chaumes has an open and quite earthy bouquet with ample brambly red berry fruit tinged with brown spices. The palate is medium-bodied with a ferrous entry, grainy tannins and quite peppery with a slightly savoury finish. Ready to drink now but it will continue to give drinking pleasure for three or four years.Inc. GSTSG$548.84 -

The 2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Aux Chaumes has a subtle, floral bouquet with impressive precision and poise. Its very pure red fruit seems to shimmer with energy. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip and slightly darker fruit than the regular Hautes-Côtes. More salinity comes through on the finish. Excellent.Inc. GSTSG$520.37 -

The 2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Les Dames Huguette, from a vineyard that touches the Aux Chaumes but has more limestone soils, shows a little more ripeness on the nose: more forward, vivacious red berry fruit mixes with hoisin. The palate is well balanced with dark berry fruit and a touch of cola. This has fine weight and focus, though perhaps it will require a couple of years to fully integrate.Inc. GSTSG$566.15 -

A lighter crimson ruby. The nose takes a moment to come out. A leafy note to the fresh red fruit, medium bodied, a little leaner than the Bourgogne but fine-boned and will develop further when the oak subsides. 60% vignes basses, the other two cuvees 100%.

The 2014 Bourgogne Rouge, which comes from a single parcel between Vosne-Romanée and Clos Vougeot, has a crisp bouquet with blackberry and briary scents.

Resonant and totally voluptuous on the palate, the 2012 Chambolle-Musigny Les Clos de l’Orme is a real head-turner. All the elements are beautifully put together in a deep, fleshy Chambolle that shows the darkness and richness that is so typical of the year. Hints of spices, new leather and French oak linger on the close. Today the oak is a bit prominent, but that should not be an issue once the wine enters the early part of its drinking window.Inc.
