Burgundy
When it comes to the world of fine wines, Burgundy stands tall as one of the most revered and sought-after regions. Renowned for its exceptional terroir and commitment to quality, Burgundy has long captivated enthusiasts with its exquisite and highly prized wines. 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. The region's red wines, made predominantly from Pinot Noir, display a finesse and purity of fruit that are unmatched. Vineyards such as Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, and Richebourg produce red wines that command astronomical prices due to their exceptional quality and limited production.
For white wine enthusiasts, Burgundy's Chardonnay-based wines are a true revelation. 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.
In the world of fine wines, Burgundy stands as an epitome of elegance, complexity, and refined craftsmanship. Its best and most expensive wines are a testament to the region's unwavering commitment to excellence, terroir-driven winemaking, and the artistry of the winemakers.

Vinous (95)The 2000 Chambertin Grand Cru is youthful in appearance with just very slight bricking. The bouquet is well-defined with quite precocious red fruit laced with orange blossom and crushed stone, yet it does not possess the complexity of the preceding vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins, perfectly judged acidity, velvety, so much so that this is the one vintage that is quite Vosne-like in style. Coheres beautifully on the finish. No, not a top-ranking Chambertin from Rousseau, but so delicious. Tasted at the Rousseau Chambertin vertical at La Vienne. |

Wine Advocate (90)Rousseau's 2000 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is quite successful in this vintage, and it's certainly still full of life, opening in the glass with a pretty bouquet of red cherry, strawberry, subtle mint, mustard seed and potpourri. On the palate, the wine is supple, polished and velvety, with decent concentration and depth, and suggestions of baked fruit on the palate. The Clos de la Roche is never Rousseau's most compelling grand cru, but it would be churlish to deny that this is excellent. |

The Auvenay Meursault Pre Manche 2000 is a masterful blend of robust flavours and refined complexity unique to the esteemed winemaking region of Meursault, France. Produced by the iconic boutique winery, Domaine d'Auvenay, this stellar vintage combines spectacularly the region's famed limestone-rich terroir with the Maison's remarkable winemaking standards. The producer, under the meticulous eye of Lalou Bize-Leroy, employs bio-dynamic methodologies, handpicking the Chardonnay grapes, using natural yeasts for fermentation, and allowing an extended ageing period on lees, culminating in a delectably opulent and balanced wine. The Auvenay Meursault Pre Manche 2000 boasts an alluringly full-bodied profile, layered with nuances of green apple, ripe pear and delicate floral notes, exquisitely interlaced with a mineral undertone, and a durable finish.

Wine Advocate (92)The Echézeaux 2000 from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti won the hearts of everyone around the table–one of those wines that you just cannot help falling for. It has a dark garnet core with thin bricking on the rim. The nose is actually reminiscent of a fine Musigny from de Vogüé, a little introverted at first but it's just kidding with you and bursts open with infectious joie de vivre. The palate is medium-bodied, quite linear at first with superb tension and energy. No, it is not as complex as the Grands Echézeaux 2000 but that Loire-like, sappy finish is beguiling. Drink now and enjoy over the next 15 years. Given the growing season this performs way above expectations. |

Wine Advocate (92)The Grands Echézeaux 2000 is a cerebral Burgundy, not quite as convincing as it was three years ago, but still a great wine. Here it has a vibrant red berry, stony bouquet that is reserved at first, but opens nicely with limestone and sea-spray scents emerging with time. It has a quite brilliant balance on the palate–not a powerful Grands Echézeaux but complex, with hints of black olive and chlorophyll emerging toward the finish that gently fans out and becomes a little spicier as it aerates. Superb. |

Experience the richness of the Haegelen Jayer Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2000. Crafted in the revered vineyards of the Clos de Vougeot appellation in Burgundy, this full-bodied red wine exemplifies the artistry of esteemed winemaker Haegelen Jayer. Each year, Haegelen Jayer meticulously selects the highest quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from their mature, low-yielding vines. The signature approach involves traditional vinification methods, heightening the wine's natural complexities. In the case of the 2000 vintage, slow fermentation and extended maturation in French oak barrels delivered a balanced and deeply nuanced bouquet. On the palate, this Grand Cru blends seductive red fruit and floral notes with hints of toasted spice and underbrush. This wine, mahogany-hued and lingering, exhibits the hallmarks of ageing potential, promising to develop even more profound layers of flavour. Savour the Haegelen Jayer Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2000 - a true testimony of French winemaking prowess. |

More austere, even monolithic today, and showing less detail than the Amoureuses, perhaps because this was the last wine to be racked. Best now on the long, subtle, stony back end. |

With its roots deep in the heart of Burgundy, the Droin family lineage, boasting a remarkable 500-year unbroken line of winemakers, encapsulates the purest expression of Chardonnay.

This nectar underwent vinification in stainless steel tanks, retaining the fruit's freshness and vibrancy. With a palate of green apple, citrus and flinty nuances, the Jean-Paul et Benoît Droin Chablis 2000 intensifies in depth and flavour as it unfolds. Critics acknowledge its finesse, with alluring nuances evolving splendidly with age. A true symbol of timeless French winemaking mastery, the Jean-Paul et Benoît Droin Chablis 2000 is a sophisticated testament to the Droin family's passionate dedication to their craft. |

Vinous (90)The 2000 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru from Leroy, after having changed a corked bottle, has a fresh bouquet with blackberry, undergrowth, mint and a touch of clove. The palate is vibrant, a Clos Vougeot with a spring in its steps. It does not possess the depth or complexity of the finest Clos Vougeot that I have encountered from Leroy, but there is a beguiling transparency and an edgy, sappy finish that beckons you back for another sip. Fine, but not a bona fide success given expectations. Tasted at Carré des Feuillants restaurant in Paris. |

Vinous (94)The 2000 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaumonts 1er Cru from Leroy offers crisp red fruit, bay leaf and clove on a rip-roaring nose that pays little heed to the reputation of this “tricky” Burgundy vintage. It just harnesses the horsepower that this Premier Cru can gift a wine and runs with it. The palate is more measured: very well balanced and quite succulent in style, with wonderful definition and a fresh, slightly brine-tinged finish that has an unerring crystalline quality to it. Quite brilliant considering the vintage. Tasted at Carré des Feuillants restaurant in Paris. |

Vinous (86-88)Medium ruby. Fruity aromas of black cherry, licorice and spice, with a note of menthol. Creamier and riper than the basic village bottling, with black fruit flavors and sweeter tannins. |
