This 95 point 2020 “Les Chabiots” Burgundy is an example of their pristine grape growing and winemaking, with a brightness, pureness, and ripeness that oozes elegance and mouth-coating warmth – now over $55 off retail!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ancestral ties dating back to the early 1200s, the Bichot family planted roots in Burgundy in 1350. Since then, the winery has been passed down to each next generation’s sons, all the way up until today, with an ironclad focus on preserving the grapes’ conditions in order to craft wines of the utmost quality, precision, and purity. Set in the heart of the highly sought-after Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy, in the hamlet of Chambolle-Musigny, between Vougeot and Morey-Saint-Denis, the Premier Cru vineyards on which these vines are planted have shallow soils and underlying bedrock near the surface, giving the wines a proper-smooth elegance. “Les Chabiots” is rumored to have gotten its name from the word “caboche,” a word derived from a rather graphic Latin word for “head”: “capum.” It’s believed that this is in reference to the stone blocks and large rocks, reminiscent of heads, that were buried 40 to 60 centimeters deep beneath the soils that were plowed before these vines were eventually planted at the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Côte de Nuits region is a Burgundian crown jewel famous for growing impeccable Pinot Noir wines. Chambolle-Musigny is specifically known for its finesse and refinement within the wines that are grown there. The 2020 vintage as a whole scored an almighty 97 points from Robert Parker’s Wine Associate, heralded for age-worthy reds that are all at once powerful, fresh, and balanced thanks to a comparatively early harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandpicked and fermented in temperature-controlled conical oak vats for 18 to 21 days, “Les Chabiots” was then aged in 35% to 40% new oak barrels for 16 to 17 months prior to bottling. The result is an ever-so-fine Pinot Noir of the highest expression – one that is purely delightful and compelling to drink right now, though it’s expected to develop to even greater heights in a few years’ time. Notes of tangled forest fruits – from raspberry to blackberry to black currant to strawberry – mingle enticingly at the front of the pack, with subtle floral characteristics of rose and violet pirouetting in closely behind. More vibrant purple fruits develop on the back-end – namely Bing cherries, dried cherries, and plum – with an enmeshment of tobacco, as the finish comes in with a fresh kick of acidity and ripe, yet smooth, tannins. A truly treasurable wine that drinks like a luxury, yet we’ve been able to offer up this solid little allotment at over $55 off the usual retail! For a 95 point Chambolle-Musigny...that’s a treat! This is one you’ll be ecstatic to add to your collection today, and drink over the years to come, no question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePAIRING IDEAS: I’m planning to fire up a batch of harissa honey chicken thighs with a Kalamata olive, feta, and tomato deconstructed side salad, loaded up with plenty of dill, lemon juice, and olive oil.

That opportunity came about in 2012, after twenty years of study, working for both his family domaine and the legendary Domaine Coche-Drury in nearby Meursault. He launched his eponymous micro-négoçiant label, buying up tiny amounts of small parcels of fruit across the best vineyards he could find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis expression of Rully – a picturesque village at the northern end of the Côte Chalonnaise – is classical in style, yet with a layered complexity that goes beyond a traditional “village-level” Burgundy. Rich and fruity, yet with a preponderance of minerality that ranges from smoky flint to wet river rocks, uplifted by the presence of floral notes like honeysuckle and acacia. He carefully harvests multiple plots across the village boundaries, with an emphasis on the clay-limestone soils that really allow chardonnay to exist at its most expressive form – yielding classical notes of green apple, and lemon, with exotic nuances of quince, and white peach. A well-integrated toastiness grants further depth, alongside an initial nuttiness that is just starting to awaken after four years since harvest. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis winemaking style is decidedly non-interventionist, and he works his vines under organic farming to coax the true terroir out of every precious grape he earns. In recent years, he has all but abandoned the use of regular 225-liter barrels, favoring instead the larger 500-liter oak casks that more readily allow the expression of the land and the fruit involved in his diverse portfolio over a relatively short aging period of just 10 months. Wines will undergo malolactic fermentation (or not) naturally, and depending on the vintage itself, with no bâtonnage driving further development or enhanced mouthfeel. This is Burgundy without adornment, and it is profoundly delicious. Under $50 for White Burgundy of this high quality, with a rising star producer at the helm, has become woefully rare these days – but this is, without question, a vigneron to watch – and a wine to collect eagerly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePAIRING IDEAS: I’m matching this with a proper pub meal...Fish and Chips.

Albert’s daughter and son-in-law later purchased low-priced land during the phylloxera epidemic in Savigny and Beaune in 1890, expanding the estate and continuing the family legacy. The winery remained within the family, passed from one generation to the next, and becoming certified organic in 2015, before finally passing the reins to new owners in 2023. The new owners brought on the exceptional winemaker Pierre-Jean Villa to continue leading the meticulous vineyard and cellar efforts and crafting some of the region’s finest wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grapes for this wine come from \u003cem\u003e“Les Aigrots”\u003c\/em\u003e – a small, 0.75-hectare parcel next to the famous Clos de Mouches just west of the town of Beaune.

Your patience will reward you as a bit of struck match reduction blows off and reveals so much to enjoy – blackberry compote followed by dark cherry, vanilla, and cherry blossoms on the nose. The palate unveils tart cherry, black currant, and pomegranate framed by spicy cedar chips, clove, and black pepper.

Instead they get to pool their fruit under one banner: Côte de Nuits-Villages. It’s like a greatest-hits compilation of the region's edges, priced like a warm-up act. This particular bottle is anchored in Comblanchien, a village whose limestone is so hard and lustrous it's been cut from the ground since Roman days and set into some of France's most famous buildings. That very stone gives the wine its cool, chiseled, mineral core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name on the label belongs to Nicolas Potel, one of Burgundy's most beloved figures, who sadly passed last summer. Nicolas grew up at Domaine de la Pousse d'Or in Volnay, learning at the elbow of his father Gérard, a pioneer of the estate-bottling era. He first made his name as a négociant with a genius for coaxing great barrels out of great growers, then poured everything into Domaine de Bellene – the name a wink at the ancient roots of \"Beaune\" – where he farmed organically, worked out of historic old-stone cellars in the center of town, and treated ancient vines like the treasures they are. The fruit here comes from plants averaging roughly 75 years old… stubborn, low-yielding old-timers that give up only a handful of tiny, deeply flavored berries, raised with a light touch in large, well-worn French oak so nothing gets in the way of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2021 was a cooler, smaller-crop, thoroughly classic Burgundy vintage, and the reds came out fresh, transparent, and full of nervy energy.

It's drinking beautifully today and has the structure to keep for several years, though it's every bit as happy on a random weeknight as it would be on a special one.

We can all but promise – with the ravenous numbers of Burghounds out there – this won’t be around for long!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's start with the dirt, because in Burgundy it's always about the dirt. \"\u003cem\u003eGrèves\u003c\/em\u003e\" actually refers to the small, sandy stones that make up this vineyard's soil – and Les Grèves is the largest of Beaune's 36 Premiers Crus, prized for its sunny hillside exposure. But here's the fun part… Nicolas Potel's parcel is a postage stamp. Just 0.2 hectares, facing east-southeast, with vines that were planted back in 1904 – meaning we're talking about a 120-year-old plot. Over the past decade, he's taken cuttings from those ancient vines to replant the gaps, so the old-vine DNA stays in the family. Everything here is done by hand, chickens and sheep roam the rows instead of tractors, and there are no herbicides or pesticides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe man behind it has serious Burgundy bloodlines. Although he passed away last summer, Nicolas Potel's family once owned the legendary Domaine de la Pousse d'Or in Volnay, and after his father's death, he set out on his own, eventually founding both Domaine de Bellene (the estate) and Roche de Bellene (the négociant). What makes this particular bottle special is that it was the only wine in Potel's entire 2022 lineup to get any new oak – roughly 30%, and only because it carried enough power and density to stand up to it. It was also fermented with 100% whole clusters, an intentional move to give it serious spice and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the timing couldn't be better, because 2022 is a year people are genuinely excited about. Wine Spectator called it a great vintage that delivered the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay the region had seen since 2017, born from a warm, dry summer that still somehow kept its freshness. It's a notably perfumed vintage, with floral, sometimes exotic aromatics from the stony, limestone sites, and Grèves sits right in that sweet spot. Critic Tim Atkin rated this wine 94 points, calling out its exotic perfume and a brawny core of figs and black plums framed by firm tannin and bright acidity – a wine with real cellar potential that's only going to get better. In other words… It's built to age, but you could just as easily dig in this year (and you'll want to).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe good news for you is that the 2022 averages around $200 on the open market, and we've got it at $89.95.

Old roots dig deep, yields are low, and the resulting Pinot grants genuine grip and character.

His son Pierre grew the place into the roughly 16.5-hectare estate it is today, spread across Ladoix, Chorey, Savigny, and Aloxe-Corton, with the whole operation farmed under France's Haute Valeur Environnementale certification (meaning cover crops, hedgerows, and beehives at the edge of the forest).

This Marsannay legend has spent 25 years dragging Burgundy's most underrated white grape out of the shadows and into cult status – and his 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté even earned a whopping 93 points from Wine Review Online.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWine geeks, gather 'round – we’ve got something special waiting for you! Domaine Sylvain Pataille sits in Marsannay-la-Côte, just north of the Côte de Nuits, and has steadily become one of the most respected names in modern Burgundy. Sylvain made his first vintage in 1999 with a single hectare of vines while still working as an oenologist at a lab– and today the estate spans fifteen times that, all centered on his beloved Marsannay. The reputation is well earned… and if you ask any sommelier who does Aligoté best, Sylvain's name comes up first, every time. He's practically a magician with the variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Aligoté Doré – the \"golden\" strain – from vines averaging around 50 years old, farmed certified organic with biodynamic methods. Fermentation takes place on indigenous yeasts after gentle pressing, with aging around 12 months to refine the wine without ever masking its purity. Sulfur is kept minimal, added only at bottling. Old vines matter enormously for Aligoté, as they lend the weight and texture that keep the grape's naturally electric acidity in perfect balance. In other words… this is not the thin, tart Aligoté of decades past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt happens that 2023 was a sunny yet balanced vintage that ripened the fruit beautifully while holding onto that vibrant, signature acidity. On the nose and palate, this wine takes your senses on a delightfully scenic journey of candied lemon, crisp pear, and white flowers up front, threaded with the wine's characteristic quince-and-pear snap, a burst of pink grapefruit, and a whisper of ginger.
