Today, let us delve into the realm of the best and most expensive wines that Burgundy has to offer, a realm where true wine aficionados can indulge in the pinnacle of winemaking excellence.
At the heart of Burgundy's prestige lie its renowned vineyards, which have garnered global acclaim for their exceptional wines. The names that resonate in the world of Burgundy are Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, Domaine Armand Rousseau, and Domaine Georges Roumier. These vineyards have become synonymous with greatness, crafting wines that define elegance, complexity, and longevity.
Burgundy's most esteemed wines are crafted from two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Vineyards like Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, and Meursault showcase the full potential of this noble grape, producing wines of unparalleled richness, depth, and complexity. These whites epitomize the artistry of winemaking, with each sip revealing layers of flavors and a harmonious balance between fruit, minerality, and oak.

The 2015 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru en Montceau displayed an energetic, generous bouquet that perhaps did not quite possess the killer delineation of the En Remilly by comparison. The palate is very well balanced and shows more sophistication than the aromatics at this early stage, very well-integrated new oak, walnut and white pepper notes permeating through the citrus fruit with great depth and body towards the finish. There is a lot of potential here, but it will need a couple of years after bottling for the aromatics to coalesce.Inc. TAX€279.44 -

Pale yellow. This has an immediate sense of harmony, fruit and a little tension, but not too fleshy and not too reductive, just Montceau. I am keeping smelling this. There is that faint banana touch I often find in Corton-Charlemagne. Significant power behind, though. Not even 13% apparently, but it offers such a concentration of fruit through the dry extract. Once again the Marc Colin Montceau is a remarkable wine. Tasted: October 2021Inc. TAX€213.74 -

Mid lemon. The bouquet indicates a surprising breadth of flavour, as if this were a riper spot, and the attack continues in the same fashion, before the wine tightens up at the back in a crystalline fashion, as the stones take over. Very much a food wine, and one which will reward ageing. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted: October 2023.Inc. TAX€554.88 -

A particular favourite at Domaine Marc Colin, En Montceau faces south-west with a strong marl content in the soil. The bouquet offers a touch of gunflint or graphite without being overly reductive Slightly saline, En Montceau will be a keeper. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2024.Inc. TAX€524.14 -

The 2020 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru unfurls beautifully in the glass, revealing scents of honeysuckle, white tea, jasmine and dried honey, all very well defined. The well-balanced palate shows a touch of reduction on the entry, veins of white chocolate/praline infusing the citrus fruit, and a touch of toffee apple on the concentrated finish. Excellent.Inc.

The 2021 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet with mineral-laden citrus fruit, quite understated at first yet there is superb delineation and focus. The palate is very well balanced with a crisp line of acidity. There is a patina of new oak to be subsumed, so wait another 12 to 18 months because this is a top-notch Saint-Aubin.

The 2022 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru has a tight nose that demands aeration, and there is an oatmeal element that just impedes across the fruit profile. The palate is rounded on the entry, slightly honeyed, and it makes me wonder if there was any botrytised fruit in the mix? Attractive…and it manifests more precision and sapidity in the glass. Bottled under Diam 30. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.Inc. TAX€420.48 -

The 2023 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru comes from five parcels comprising 1.5 hectares on the plateau and incline of the lieux-dits. It has a striking bouquet with vibrant citrus fruit, lime and orange pith aromas that gather pace with aeration. The palate is well defined, focused and intense, with a brisk line of acidity and a little more substance than the other Saint-Aubins. It has hints of stem ginger and almond on the lingering finish. Bon vin.Inc. TAX€110.35 -
Wine Advocate (91-93)
The 2015 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Le Charmois was aged in 20% new oak without any foudres. It has a slightly more involving bouquet compared to the Saint Aubin La Combe, with notes of green apple, sea spray, something saline and perhaps even a distant tang of kelp. The palate is very well balanced with a fine thread of acidity. Focused and beautifully poised, it leaves it to the last moment to fan out and deliver the concentration that the growing season bestowed. It kind of plays with you, but that just makes you love it more. This is superb.Inc. TAX€161.95 -

The 2020 Saint-Aubin Le Charmois 1er Cru has a killer nose of crushed stone aromas, plus hints of shucked oyster shell and light loamy scents. The palate is wonderfully balanced, poised and focused, with veins of blood orange and nectarine and a beautifully defined finish. This is one of the standout cuvées from Damien Colin this vintage.Inc. TAX€435.34 -

Three plots which come from maternal grandmother Lucie. Mid lemon yellow, with a very pretty bouquet that gives an immediate desire to drink it. A salivating stony finish, beautifully done.

The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru stays with Domaine Marc Colin as it as owned by Damien's godfather and he wished for it to remain with him, therefore a fermage agreement remains in place. It has a clean and precise bouquet, a little more expressive than some of its peers with crushed stone, sea spray and light citrus peel scents. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, the oak neatly integrated (one out of two barrels new) with a precise tangy orange rind finish. Sophisticated and compelling. (DIAM closure)Inc.

Around 65 year old vines. Deep purple. The bouquet shows an explosion of ripe deep raspberry fruit.

The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Vielles Vignes Rouge, which was taken from vat and aged in 15% new oak, has a pretty nose with red cherry and wild strawberry scents.

From four plots, includes some younger vines, very vivacious from its lemon and lime colour onwards, a little positive reduction on the nose.

A more deeply pitched and decidedly earthier nose speaks of dark currant and cassis. The succulent, round and delicious flavors are more concentrated as the old vines show, all wrapped in a more complex and slightly firmer finale. This moderately rustic effort is also delicious and a wine that should drink well early on.Inc. TAX€281.52 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-93)
Sappy, vibrant aromas of lime, honeysuckle, mint, truffle and minerals. Very intensely flavored, with the high-pitched citrus and mineral components and the wine's firm acidity (always higher than my other premier crus, notes Mollard) contributing to a very dry impression. Very youthful yet already offers lovely inner-mouth perfume. Like the Caillerets, this wears its oak gracefully. Finishes very subtle and long.Inc. TAX€981.07 -
(12x75cl) 2008Vinous (86-88)
Slightly reduced nose offers cool aromas of lime, pear, wet stone and menthol. Supple and moderately intense, with a slight tartness to the lime and spice flavors but more texture than the Caillerets. Finishes reasonably persistent and quite dry. (A sample of Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts was somewhat tart, and lacked the purity of the Mollards' own wines from Chassagne-Montrachet, offering 84-86 potential.)Inc. TAX€2,079.07 -

Set in an isolated position on the slope above the village, En Virondot is the highest Chassagne premier cru, at 350 metres.
