2017 Mugnier Chambolle-Musigny

I don't get to offer Mugnier very often, and this is the first time that I've been able to offer Mugnier's Chambolle.

Mugnier is one of Burgundy's elite. Few producers hit the level of transparency, fineness, and regal elegance that Mugnier does.

2017 Drouhin Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches Rouge Magnums

Chambolle Benchmark: 2017 Barthod Chambolle-Musigny

I've been on a Chambolle kick lately, and frankly, I feel no need to stop. The village makes some of the most beautiful expressions of red Burgundy. Today, I'm happy to offer Barthod's 2017 Chambolle. It's been quite some time since we've been able to offer Barthod, and it feels like a real luxury to be able to offer them today.

2017 Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny

Bertheau's are some of the Burgundies that I'm most fond of. They thrive on nuance and understatement. The wines are archetypes of just how graceful and pure Burgundy can be.

Thriving on Grace - Revisited: 2017 Jouan Clos St-Denis

Jouan’s wines are famous for possessing a captivating mixture of perfume and delicacy. The Grand Cru Clos Saint-Denis is celebrated for its class, purity, feminine grace, and simultaneously, for its intensity. It’s a perfect match for Jouan.

"Lovely stuff." - 2017 Mugneret-Gibourg Vosne-Romanée

Whenever I see Mugneret-Gibourg's 2017 Vosne-Romanée, I click buy immediately. I'm a huge fan of their Vosne-Romanée, but the 2017 is a very compelling example and utterly delicious.

0.34HA, Uncommon Grace - Lowest Price:
2015 Bertheau Bonnes-Mares

Bertheau's 2015s are absolutely stunning. As always, the Bonnes-Mares represents one of the high points of Bertheau's 2015 lineup. Bertheau's parcel in Bonnes-Mares is 0.34 ha. It's a rare bottle, and that fact is all the more painful because it's a wine that I love.

"In a word, terrific" - Lowest Price:
2016 D'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs Magnums

"While d'Angerville rarely misses, I was particularly taken with the quality I found here; indeed the word classic would aptly describe their 2016s." We have to agree with Burghound. This is simply a stunning collection of wines.

Burgundy As It Should Be - Revisited:
2017 Jouan Chambolle-Musigny

Few producers capture my imagination like Jouan. His wines are some of the most mysterious, beautiful, and subtle Burgundies I know.

Back-Vintage Grand Cru - 0.23ha:
1996 Drouhin Bonnes-Mares

Drouhin's lineup is dizzying in its breadth. The Bonnes-Mares is one of the greatest, and with a 0.23ha parcel, one of the most elusive.

Eye-Opening Burgundy - Refinement and Value:
2017 Fornerol Côte de Nuits Rouge

It's rare for Burgundies to nail the combination of deliciousness, rigor, and affordability like Fornerol's Côte de Nuits Villages does. The wines are simply shocking in this regard. This is one of the more eye-opening and irresistible everyday Burgundies that I've tasted.

Red Burgundy 1996-2018:
D'Angerville, Fourrier, Lafarge, Mugneret-Gibourg, Roumier, Rousseau & More

It's been a couple of months since I've put together a long list of red Burgundy. I'm very happy to return to it today with a long list of recent purchases and a wide cast of favorites.

Hitting The Bullseye - 2017 Simon Bize Savigny-les-Beaune:

Volnay Distance Runner - Bookend Vintages:
2013 & 2015 D'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Champans

Volnay is one of the more feminine and velvety expressions of Burgundy. With that said, the magic of Champans is the way it combines muscle and density with a gorgeous finesse. Today, I'm excited to celebrate d'Angerville's work in Champans with two radically different vintages.
