Climbing red Burgundy’s quality ladder in style 

Climbing red Burgundy’s quality ladder in style

We’ve picked out wines from six different producers spanning four different vintages, each bottle ready to go from the moment the cork is pulled. This is a collection that moves through the gears of Burgundy, culminating in an offering from one of its most esteemed appellations and an estate whose story began over two centuries ago. 
The first wine comes from brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet, who joined forces and founded Bachelet Monnot in 2005, having put in the hard yards to earn their winemaking stripes not only in France but around the world. The pair’s régionale Bourgogne rouge punches well above its weight. We’ve also selected a Marsannay from Bruno Clair (a champion for the appellation) and a sumptuous Gevrey Chambertin from Drouhin Laroze which, as the wine’s name suggests, is blended from 10 separate parcels of vines. 
The next rung up takes you to Pommard and firm Justerinis’ favourite Génot-Boulanger via a captivating wine from old vines that manages to balance Pommard’s full-bodied character with finely tuned finesse. We’ve also included a Nuits St-Georges, via another old-vine cuvée, from Robert Chevillon, whose sons Bertrand and Denis now manage the estate and whose exacting standards have seen it go from strength to strength. The brothers’ vineyards stretch from the far south side of Nuits St-Georges to the very north side next to Vosne-Romanée, and all of their wines demonstrate harmony, ripe fruit and structure thanks to both hard work in the vineyard by Denis (who insists on low yields and a strict grape selection) and a carefully controlled fermentation and barrique élevage by Bertrand. 
Our final inclusion, the venerable Marquis d&#39;Angerville’s Champans Volnay 1er Cru, boasts a lacy, silken texture, which is so fine as to allow the gloriously full fruit to the fore. Caressing, nourishing and satisfying, it’s a wine that offers pure, unadulterated pleasure, and a fine introduction to the joys and charm of Volnay.

A selection of six wines to drink now, from Bourgogne rouge to Volnay 1er cru.
With its myriad appellations and climats – not to mention its steep hierarchical scale – navigating Burgundy can sometimes seem a daunting proposition. With that in mind, our buyers have drawn on their collective experience to curate a collection that climbs the region’s quality ladder, specifically with the curious wine enthusiast in mind.

Climbing Burgundy’s quality ladder

Burgundy to drink now

Burgundy is a region capable of producing majestic, food friendly but often eye-wateringly expensive wines. We wanted to find good things for drinking now that weren&#39;t going to burn holes in our pockets. It’s a region we know well, our buyers spend several weeks a year there sourcing from over 50 different growers, so last month we mustered together as many of the Justerini &amp; Brooks team as possible and poured through flights of Burgundy to find our favourites. This offer is a list of our top picks.

Value red Burgundy to drink now 

Complementing the domaine’s Bourgogne rouge, this collection also features Bachelet Monnot’s Maranges 1er Cru, made with a proportion of whole bunches and aged in 25% new oak. A truly fantastic iteration of this often-overlooked appellation, this is a complex wine, its earthy undergrowth notes adding dimension before a clear and vivid finish. It’s joined by Robert Groffier’s fully ready Passetoutgrains, whose richness and depth belies its modest classification, with Gamay’s saltiness adding bite to the ripe, juicy Pinot to deliver a Passetoutgrains of tremendous class. 
We’ve also included a Marsannay from the deservedly heralded Bruno Clair, along with a Pierre Boisson red Hautes Côtes de Beaune. Pierre Boisson is based in Meursault and is better known for its whites from the eponymous appellation, yet its red cuvées harness the same vibrancy, intensity and electricity, not least this inclusion.

“Value Burgundy” can sometimes seem something of an oxymoron. In reality, if you know where to look, a raft of up-and-coming producers are driving up the quality of the region’s gateway wines, with more established names increasingly matching their efforts via their less vaunted bottlings. And wouldn’t you just know it – our buying team has dug deep to uncover five great-value reds which have just begun to blossom and represent brilliant drinking right now.

Charming wines from Burgundy’s acclaimed 2019 vintage 

Five charming wines from Burgundy’s acclaimed 2019 vintage

“2019 is an extraordinary year…we have an excellent vintage on our hands,” said our Buying Director, Giles Burke-Gaffney, when delivering his verdict on one of the most spellbinding Burgundy vintages of recent times. The elegant evolution of the wines in the subsequent years has only hardened that view – and the wines are now at the ideal stage to broach. 
 A hot, dry year, the 2019 wines perfectly encapsulate how the region’s producers have handled warmer vintages with increasingly impressive adroitness. Compared to the previous year, yields in 2019 were down 30-60%, making maximising availability a challenge – so we are delighted to present a case of wines which crystallise the undoubted strengths of the vintage and are now hitting their straps. 
The year was marked by both frost and drought, while flowering was late, leading to a similarly delayed (red) harvest which didn’t start in earnest until the second week of September. This proved to be a blessing in disguise, as the grapes reached ripeness in slightly cooler and truncated days, meaning that despite the lush ripeness of the fruit, the wines are imbued with a refreshing seam of acidity. 
Robert Groffier is a relatively recent addition to our portfolio and we’re thrilled to be able to share its wines. Nicolas Groffier, grandson of Robert, began working alongside his father Serge in 2006 and spent little time forging a reputation as one of the region’s most dynamic talents. Under his watch, whole-bunch fermentation has increased, while the use of new oak has been reined back for a wonderfully pure style. His Passetoutgrains contains up to 25% Gamay and can be enjoyed lightly chilled. 
Also included in the selection is a brace of Marsannays from Bruno Clair, a producer who needs little introduction, with holdings in some of the finest spots in all the Côte d’Or. Fleshing out the case, we bring you a Gevrey Chambertin from Drouhin Laroze – established in 1919 – and finally Génot-Boulanger, whose domaine was a wonderful discovery for us in 2018. 
We rated 2019 as a 9/10 vintage in both the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, with Giles labelling it “a most enjoyable, unexpected and unique vintage…that offers depth and richness without heaviness; the wines will charm young”. With this cherry-picked case of wines for immediate drinking, we’re confident you’ll take similar – and instant –pleasure from this very special vintage.

The vintage’s vibrant fruit and refined tannins have melted into a wonderfully elegant whole 
It&#39;s easy to assume that you need to wait years – or even decades – to broach red Burgundy. But in many vintages, particularly when you get beyond the most vaunted wines, many bottles offer delightfully fresh drinking sooner rather than later. And 2019 is just such a year.
