Selected BURGUNDY: White & Red
NEW from BURGUNDY
We highly recommend these red & white burgundies, recently tasted and drinking beautifully!
White
2007 LOUIS CARILLON Puligny-Montrachet $60
“A highly aromatic nose of green fruit, acacia blossom and citrus leads to racy, pure and vibrant middle weight flavors that possess a discreet touch of minerality and excellent 
length for a villages level wine. This delivers first-rate quality for its level. Outstanding! 91 pts.” - Burghound
2004 DOM. HENRI PRUDHON St. Aubin “Les Perrieres” 1er cru $35
Can’t say enough about this superb white burgundy from Prudhon. Concentrated, liquid stone quality - not oaky or lees-y. Crystalline, pure, vibrant flavors that result from the natural simplicity of pristine fruit & terroir - not manipulated.
“A high-toned and beautifully perfumed nose that … complements perfectly the detailed, racy, crisp and impressively delineated flavors that deliver excellent cut on the mine
ral suffused finish. A really lovely effort that is impeccably balanced. Outstanding! Top Value! 90 pts.” — Burghound
2004 JEAN-MARC MOREY Chassagne-Montrachet “Les Champs Gains” $65. Drawing upon the rich experience he obtained while working with his father, Jean-Marc has developed a very personal style that reflects a deep commitment to the concept of “terroir” and individual character of each wine. His “Champs Gains” offers a classic profile: lush, rich, creamy & buttery, notes of toasted hazelnut along with peach and lemon peel. Excellent!
Red
2006 JEROME CHEZEAUX Vosne-Romanee $45 (wow!) Jerome Chezeaux is a conscientious burgundy producer, using only naturally-occurring yeasts, and non-interventionist wine philosophy. Even more impressive, Chezeaux has produced one of the best values in Burgundy! “As Chezeaux puts it, “the less you touch the wine, the better it is.” Our opinion? One of the best pinot noir values on the planet; don’t miss out!
2006 DOM. FOURRIER Chambolle-Musigny $75
“The Fourrier ’06s are very impressive and worth a close look … they are ultra pure wines fashioned in an elegant and understated style.”- Burghound
Aromas of raspberry, flowers and crushed stone in the perfumed nose. Leans toward raspberry liqueur, yet maintains freshness. Powdery tannins on the long finish. Beautiful!
