Grand Cru Burgundy: 1987-2002
Incredible Values for Drinking Grand Cru Burg
Geantet-Pansiot, Bourée, Jayer-Gilles, Remoissenet, Girardin
Single-Owner Cellar from the North East
If you have to be somewhat careful in using the words "Grand Cru" and "value" in the same sentence, today's email is about as close as the two get.
Today we have a very small, very fun collection. Every bottle in this offer has been culled from the cellar of a collector in the northeast, every bottle was bought close to release and carefully cellared.
Grand Cru Burgundy from 8 to 23 years old and from $55 dollars to just over $200.
 |
In fact, this parcel includes over five cases of beautiful, drink-me-now Grand Cru Burgundy for less than $100. This is an offer for the Burgundy DRINKER.
Those of you who know your Burgundy will recognize some unheralded, overlooked producers (not to mention some serious values).
It's Friday and there is so little wine available that we'll keep it very short. All orders will be subject to confirmation. Find complete notes on all the wines below and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call the store for more information.
To order, email us at offers@crushwineco.com or call the store at (212) 980-9463.

1999 Geantet-Pansiot Charmes-Chambertin
Special Email Price: $94.95
Compare at $110 - $115
Only 6 bottles available!
A super-solid producer who makes robust, flavorful wines. They are NOT too big, too muscular, too much... Very well put together wines and this 1999 Charmes should be fantastic and just now coming into form. Drink now or hold for a few more years...
1987 Gros Frère et Soeur Clos Vougeot "Musigni"
Special Email Price: $55.95
No compare at pricing available
Only 5 bottles available!
There are so many Gros in Burgundy that it's hard to make sense of it all: Jean Gros, Gros Frère et Soeur, Dom. A.F Gros and of course Anne Gros. The Gros Frère et Soeur wines are known for exuberant, generous fruit - a playful, even bouncy mouthfeel. Their parcel of the Clos Vougeot is very good, located just below Chambolle's famous Musigny, thus the "Musigni" descriptor on the label. If they are not exactly as refined as some of the other Gros, they are fun to drink, very fun to have on the dinner table this winter and very, very fun at under $60.
1990 Jayer-Gilles Echezeaux
Special Email Price: $214.95
Compare at $387
Only 6 bottles available!
Monsieur Robert Jayer is a man with a very famous name. Indeed, so far as we can untangle the family lines in Burgundy, he is a cousin of the Jayers from Vosne-Romanée. Jayer worked with his son Gilles until the late 1990s, at which point Gilles took over the reigns of this estate. These are more modern Burgundies, with healthy doses of new wood though the class and breed of the material here is unquestionable. The Echezeaux is THE wine of the estate.

1989 P. Bourée Clos de la Roche
Special Email Price: $76.95
No compare at pricing available
12 bottles available
A negociant as well as a land owner (mostly in Gevrey), this is a decidedly traditional estate. Solid wines, good raw material with real flavor and complexity. This should be a very pretty Clos de la Roche just coming into peak drinking.
1990 Remoissenet Grands Echezeaux
Special Email Price: $79.95
No compare at pricing available
12 bottles available
While the estate itself owns very little land - a few hectares of Beaune 1er Cru - they source some very fine Grand Crus. Even as the trend went more and more toward domaine-bottling, Remoissenet somehow found some serious wines for sale (they buy wines, not grapes or must). Is this absolutely world class? No, but for $80 this is a fine example of Grands Echezeaux that should be in good form.
2002 Vincent Girardin Corton-Charlemagne
Special Email Price: $79.95
Compare at $89 - $95
12 bottles available
Tanzer: "Very subdued nose hints at apple, minerals and nutty oak. Then intensely flavored, penetrating and youthfully backward, with bracing flavors of apple, spiced pear and powdered stone. Very densely packed, spicy wine that's currently dominated by its powerful spine. This needs a good five or six years to blossom in the bottle and may well merit a higher score."
Burghound: "Considerably bigger and more intense with lovely, extremely fresh and notably complex citrus and green apple aromas framed by obvious mineral notes that lead to powerful if relatively forward and fat flavors with fine persistence. This will unwind relatively quickly for a Corton-Charlemagne as it's quite forward yet for all the richness, size and fat, it remains a very detailed effort. I like this."
1998 Vincent Girardin Corton-Perrieres
Special Email Price: $46.95
Compare at $54.99
12 bottles available
Tanzer: "Good ruby-red. Sappy aromas dominated by black raspberry. Creamier and denser than the above; sweet and harmonious. The old-viney fruit really spreads out over the palate. Silky, lacy wine with noteworthy finesse. Finishes spicy, firm and very long, with palate-coating ripe tannins."
