Burgundy Wine Puns

My palette is finally opening up to the idea of Pinot from Burgundy but I have no clue what to try to learn more about what I like and why.

The two bottles I have enjoyed so far are

Domaine A. & P. de Villaine Bourgogne Cote Chalonnaise La Digoine & Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanee

Sadly, I don’t have notes as to why I like them. So I know I’m not giving a ton to work with and overall I’m pretty ignorant about burgundy as a whole.

Looking for recommendations on more bottles to try and how/why it reflects something special about the region

Price tiers $20 - $40 $40 - $60 $60 - $150 (celebration)

Regarding access to wine and pricing, I live in New York

Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm in love with my Zalto Burgundy glass and use it for EVERY wine I drink - is that considered a deadly sin, and will it diminish the nuances of some wine types? Or can I just go for it every time?

Thanks a lot!

Actually asking for a friend who lives in Denver. He and his partner have an affinity for Burgundy. They are looking for a shop/resource in the metro area or Boulder, with whom they can develop an ongoing relationship with who have a deep understanding of the region. They order wines from the Cooks Atelier in Beaune and have been treated to some amazing small producers but they want to find someone/shop local as well. Thanks in advance!

Note - I'm reposting this from a comment I made a few weeks ago. I thought it would be useful to move to its own post.

> Burgundy is not for the faint of heart. It takes a lot of effort and research to know the producers, the Appellations, and to stomach the prices. Good appellations from good producers can produce lackluster wines (though rarely), but when everything comes together it has no rival.

First - some level setting on cost:

• I will be mainly talking about the Cote d'Or. I have much less experience in the Cote Chalonnaise - as many of the producers who I have visited who have holdings in the Cote Chalonnaise have their domaine in the Cote d'Or.
• Most wines in Burgundy are expensive. You are looking at 30€+ for most village level wines, but range into the 1000s for Grand Crus. If this makes you uncomfortable, then perhaps a different wine region is better to visit (such as Provence). If you are only purchasing a small quantity it will only be worthwhile if you are purchasing 1er and GCs due to the cost of shipping, but I found it worthwhile to order village level and below if you are purchasing 60+ bottles.
• You should set a budget before you go, and you should think about how you will get your wines home (and at what cost) as part of that consideration (recommendations on that to follow. I probably would not considering this trip if your budget is less than 500€ and you were visiting 1 producer or it will likely be very awkward for you and the producer. If you are planning to visit multiple producers and caves or staying for multiple days - I would recommend a budget of 3000€+.

What to expect when you visit:

• I highly suggest doing your research to understand the differences between the different Appellations and Producers in Burgundy before you go. I recommend Clive Coates "My Favorite Burgundies," or "The Wines of Burgundy," bourgogne-wines.com, and a solid understanding of the most recent vintages that will be available to you from producers, and a reference guide for past vintages for when visiting Cave (wine shops) as often you won't have service to look this up. (Many tours expect you not to know this information, and guide you to purchase poor vintages, from underwhelming producers, or from lower appellations).
• If you plan to go wine tasting at a Producer - you are setting the expectation that you are at minimum planning to purchase wine (and probably 6 or more b

Wife and I are heading to France for 2 weeks next year. Part of the trip we wish to taste wine in Burgundy for 4 days (2 travel days 2 tasting days) and I had some questions. I have completed multiple trips to American Wine Country (Napa, Sonoma, Oregon, ect) and I've read that tasting in Burgundy is very different then in America. Our original plan was to go through the travel agency we are working with for the rest of the trip but after review and discussion with the agency, it may sound like a better option to rent our own car and do tastings on our own.

So, questions

1. How does one go about setting up tastings?

2. Any advice?

3. Any recommendations?

4. I am specially interested in exploring wines from Volnay & Pommard.

5. We are more focused on wine than sight seeing, we have 2 full weeks including some time to explore the Burgundy area.

Thanks!

I’m interested in exploring Pinot Noir from burgundy and don’t really don’t where to start. Grand Crus are completely out of my price range, but are there any reasonably priced premier crus that are worth trying?

I reached out to a bunch of US distributors for a 2019 Anne Gros Richebourg.

Found it for $700. Already purchased but not shipped.

I'm importing wine from France this fall and found it for $450 from a cellar there. Wasn't able to get it directly from Anne Gros.

Do I double down and get another bottle or two?

I feel it would be in poor form to ask for a refund.

I'm debating using the rest of my 2021 wine budget (~$3600) to purchase 61 bottles of the 2019 vintage from Domaine Michel Gros, and am wondering what mistakes people think I would be making by doing so.

I love his wines, and visited his domain on my honeymoon after my wedding in 2019. I think these bottles would be special to me as that is my anniversary year. By ordering directly from the producer I'm estimating that I would save about $2k vs. if I tried to source this in the US (and due to his importers/distributors, this would require shipping to my state). This would all be sent in one shipment (and I've factored the cost of shipping into my assessment). I'm currently highly concentrated in Burgundy (which I love), and supplement my wine cellar with daily drinkers (that I don't enter in Cellar Tracker) to allow these to age. I have enough storage to accommodate (but will be adding off-site storage in 2 years already as part of my strategy).

Pros:

• Special value in this vintage
• Special value in this producer
• Cost savings compared to buying local
• Continued relationship with producer
• I like the climats he produces from
• More bottles in classifications I am likely to drink
• More rounded drinking windows for my future cellar
• Increase the value of my cellar by 74% while only costing 45% of its current value

Cons:

• The 2019 Vintage would be a significant amount of my Burgundy holdings
• Long wait before the wine is ready to drink (have to purchase more daily drinkers, but can balance with my existing cellar)
• Risk concentration for spoilage during shipping
• Risk concentration with one producer
• May be too concentrated in Cote de Nuits
• Not increasing the % of my Premier and Grand Cru Holdings
• Lowering my balance of white Burgundy (and it will likely be hard to backfill this vintage)

Is this crazy to do, or am I taking advantage of a good deal on something meaningful to me?

I want to get to know burgundy but am priced out. Any recommendations on how to start getting to know the flavor profiles without breaking the bank?
