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.

Vinous (90-92)The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cras 1er Cru comes from 0.38 hectares of vine. It offers light, slightly tertiary red berry fruit on the nose, cut from a similar cloth to some of Lamarche’s Vosne-Romanées, so that I would have liked a little more appellation character to come through. The palate is medium-bodied with bright red berry fruit laced with soy and orange peel. It builds nicely in the mouth toward a vivid, slightly meaty finish and quite a long aftertaste. Fine, although I hope the aromatics find a louder voice once in bottle. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cras 1er Cru is a little more high-toned on the nose than Lamarche’s Vosne Premier Crus, offering morello cherry, raspberry, rose petal and blackberry scents interlaced with sous-bois and tobacco. The palate is very smooth and sensual with pure red fruit and very well-judged acidity. Sleek and stylish. This is one of my picks from the domaine this vintage. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)Pleasing mid crimson. There is less immediate fruit evident on the nose. Less ripe, stricter, firmer, some citrus notes, middleweight, as ever I don’t quite see the magic at least while this wine is young. More in acidity than tannin to finish. Tasted: December 2021 |

Wine Advocate (88)Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes from Domaine François Lamarche was showing some volatility on the nose, though nothing to get too worried about. Hints of cherry liqueur here with a slight reductive metallic note. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannin and some hardness deriving from wood tannins on the finish. Perhaps bottle age will help this? Then again, it never quite got out of the blocks when I tasted it in barrel. |

Wine Advocate (92)Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts from Domaine François Lamarche has a refined and detailed bouquet: fresh strawberry, cranberry leaf and minerals, all very attractive. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, just a dab of oak to be fully subsumed, but with plenty of weight and volume on the pretty, quite spicy finish. It's just a delicious, well-crafted Vosne-Romanée and one of the best from the domaine in 2012. |

Vinous (95)The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet of dark berry fruit, oyster shell, sous-bois and rose petals, intense and fragrant. The harmonious palate is silky-smooth on the entry with finely judged acidity. A subtle touch of spice develops nicely toward the finish, which leaves a persistent, peppery aftertaste. A toothsome Vosne-Romanée to tuck away for several years. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. |

Wine Advocate (88)Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Suchots 2011 is more reserved on the nose than their Chaumées, but there is a touch more complexity, the brambly red and black fruit infused with fine minerality and tension. The palate is smooth and rounded on the entry with a lot of extraction so that it feels plump around the middle. Juicy and pure, what it lacks in complexity is compensated by its saturated tannins and opulent blueberry-tinged finish that is just missing some persistence, cutting away before you have had an opportunity to show your gratitude. |

Wine Advocate (85)The 2015 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru les Suchots offers up aromas of plums, cassis and spice, followed by a medium-bodied, rather inscrutable palate without any real discernible concentration or depth. Perhaps the wine is simply closed down after bottling and will emerge from its shell with age? |

Vinous (87-89)The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a pretty, light nose with crushed strawberry and raspberry fruit, well-defined if just missing a little fruit concentration. The palate is medium- to light-bodied with pleasant edgy tannins, nicely pitched acidity, quite linear at the moment with a dab of spice towards the finish. Modest length. |

Vinous (91)Good medium red. Highly complex, inviting aromas of black raspberry, mocha, licorice, black pepper, burning cinders and herbs. A lovely midweight wine whose considerable power is nicely countered by subtle sweetness and the herb and pepper nuances from the stems. The long finish features slightly peppery tongue-dusting tannins and a pungent note of licorice. But I prefer the '93 for its suavity and greater persistence. (13.2% alcohol; 3.51 pH; 3.5 g/l acidity; made from perfectly healthy grapes, according to Brouin, who vinified this wine with a sizable portion of whole clusters, as he did for the first time in 1985) |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (91-94)Excellent ruby-red. Smoky, floral aromas of blueberry and black raspberry. Sappy and thick but lively and delineated, thanks to penetrating, ripe acidity. A distinct step up in density of material. Very fresh and youthful. Really spreads out on the palate. Beautifully balanced and complete. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and palate-coating, primary fruit. |

Vinous (94)Moderately saturated red. Wonderfully suave, mellow, inviting scents of raspberry, mocha, smoke and underbrush; the most resolved and integrated nose to this point of the tasting. A classic, harmonious Clos des Lambrays with impeccable balance and a wonderfully refined, silky texture to its flavors of red cherry, red berries, mocha and underbrush energized by high notes of pepper and spices. Not a powerhouse but this beauty fills the mouth while conveying a magically weightless impression. Finishes with sweet, perfectly supported tannins, a sexy floral quality and subtle building length. Two thousand one was a great vintage for Morey-Saint-Denis grand crus, noted Thierry Brouin, who told me he also loved the Clos de Tart. About as elegant as this wine gets. This vintage was the lowest in total acidity of my tasting but the wine hardly lacks for verve. And it has blossomed beautifully in the bottle. In fact, this is the highest score I've yet given for this vintage of Clos des Lambrays. (13.8% alcohol; 3.62 pH; 3.3 g/l acidity) |
