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.

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.

Burghound (93)The ripe and beautifully layered aromas offer up notes of cassis, wild dark berries and plenty of sauvage characteristics. There is lovely sense of underlying tension present on the reasonably concentrated and powerful flavors that also exude evident minerality on the very firm but well-balanced, complex and sneaky long finale. This is an archetypical Cazetiers of muscle and overt power. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)This comes mostly from the Combe de Lavaux sector. Dense bright balanced purple. The first nose is a little bit reticent but there is plenty happening behind, so lively with a perfectly balanced fruit and acidity, roses and raspberries, long and fine. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru, which is a new long-term contract for Drouhin, is lucid ruby in color. It has a fresh raspberry and crushed strawberry nose, touches of mint and allspice emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip on the entry. It feels well structured, with good backbone, maybe missing a little tension toward the finish, but persistent and satisfying. Give it two or three years in bottle. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru is another to add to a list of impressive wines from this less well-known Premier Cru. Vivid red berries, black olive and light limestone aromas waft temptingly from the glass and dupe you into thinking you're in more noble territory. The palate is very well balanced with fine definition, taut and fresh with a crisp and vivacious finish that has the sapidity to urge you back for more. Expect this to land at the top of my banded score. |

Wine Advocate (92)The 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques was cropped on October 12, entirely destemmed and underwent a 20-day maceration, spending 13 months in oak. It has a wonderful bouquet: very well defined with forest floor, soy and brambly red berry fruit. There is very good intensity here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, good depth and harmony with a crisp, white pepper-dashed finish. There is already a sense of completeness here and will be well worth seeking out when released in the spring. It has the hubris to outperform both the Charmes-Chambertin and Clos-de-Bèze! |

Vinous (88)(the parcels that go into this wine yielded an average of about 40 hectoliters per hectare in '16): Medium red. Dark raspberry, mint and soil tones on the nose, lifted by subtle violet perfume. A supple, pliant midweight with good energy and concentration. But ultimately less sweet than the Vosne-Romanée, with the tannins arriving late but turning a bit dusty. Jérôme Faure-Brac noted that all three of these village wines from the Côte de Nuits include some premier cru juice. |

Decanter (93)The secret ingredient in this impressive village Gevrey-Chambertin is the inclusion of 25% Premier Cru grapes, which add a little more texture and concentration to the blend. With adroitly handled 20% whole bunches and new wood, it's spicy, sweet and textured with sappy acidity and notes of summer pudding and aromatic kitchen spices. |

Vinous (91)The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a very pure bouquet with dark cherries and blueberry, almost Chambolle-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very good weight, fine grip towards the structured finish. Very fine. |

Vinous (94)The 2017 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru might have a scintilla of brettanomyces that slightly occludes the fruit on the earthy, perhaps animally nose. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe red fruit, and quite toasty in style, showing modest depth and candied character toward the finish, which gains wonderful precision with time in the glass and reveals a long, persistent tail. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. |

Vinous (95-97)The 2018 Grands-Echézeaux Grand Cru, which comes from the namesake lieu-dit, is one of Véronique Drouhin’s favorite crus and, in her opinion, one of their most consistent. It has a very well-defined bouquet of blackberry, raspberry, pressed iris flowers and incense that immediately seduces the senses. The palate is medium-bodied with fine supple tannins and a perfect line of acidity, the 40% whole cluster lending a little pepperiness toward the pixelated finish. This is unequivocally a Grand Vin. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (93)The 2021 Grands-Echézeaux Grand Cru has quite an elegant, natural, refined bouquet: red berry fruit, briar and light sous-bois scents, well-integrated oak and fine delineation. The palate is nicely defined with a touch of sweet-and-sour fruit on the entry. Chalky tannins are slightly bitter, with a bit of attenuation on the finish. Hopefully, it will fill out with further time in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |

Wine Advocate (92)The 2011 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru is from a half-hectare located in the top right hand corner as you look at the climat on the map. It offers a charming and gentle, almost Charmes-Chambertin-like bouquet that unfolds in the glass. The palate has a slight reduction on the palate that smudges the overall effect and yet it is rounded and supple in the mouth with cranberry, raspberry leaf and a pinch of black pepper toward the tender finish. Fine. Drink 2015-2025. |

Burghound (93)A fresh, cool and densely fruited nose display a broad variety of aromas that include menthol, cassis, smoked game, earth, anise and plenty of floral characters. The relatively refined medium weight plus flavors exude a fine bead of minerality on the tautly muscular finish where a hint of bitter cherry appears. This needs to develop better depth though the underlying material appears to be present for that to gradually occur with extended bottle age. |
