Simply put, other than in rare instances, red Burgundy wines are usually made from the Pinot Noir grape and white Burgundy wines are made from Chardonnay. The wines are always 100% varietal as blending is not permitted. Other grapes like Gamay (red) and Aligote (white) are permitted in certain appellations and are labeled as such.
Common Burgundy wines are labeled "Bourgogne wine" or "Vin de Bourgogne" and almost always have the name of the grape, such as Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, prominently on the label.
The limestone escarpment that gives the entire Burgundy wine region its unique terroir is called the Côte d'Or. The most important wines of Burgundy in the Côte d'Or come from the sub-regions named Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. As the wines of Burgundy have received increased in demand by consumers worldwide, wines from the Côte Chalonnaise, a small area to the south that was thought to be inferior in the past, are beginning to receive attention and have largely improved.
Wines from Chablis, Beaujolais, and the Maconnais are also considered Burgundy wines.
SP9797 pts. - Wine Spectator - May 31, 2021 A dark and mysterious version, whose black cherry and black currant flavors are backed by a frame of dense, dusty tannins, with a juiciness and energy that carries this to a lingering conclusion. Earth, forest floor and iron notes chime in, leaving a chalky feel on the aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2048. 125 cases made, 100 cases imported.
RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 20th Jan 2022 The 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune Dessus Les Gollardes Blanc is lovely, wafting from the glass with scents of citrus zest, crisp green orchard fruit and struck match. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise, it’s vibrant and flavorful, concluding with a chalky finish. (William Kelley)
RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 20th Jan 2022 Like its 2019 predecessor, the 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune Grands Picotins is an unusually charming rendition of a cuvée that can sometimes be a touch structured out of the gates. Revealing aromas of cherries, raspberries, rose petals and warm spices, it’s medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a concentrated core of fruit, powdery tannins and a long, perfumed finish. (William Kelley)
RP96+96–98 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Jan 2021 Trapet’s 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru is a profound wine in the making, and it can keeps company with vintage’s finest. Wafting from the glass with deep aromas of cherries and cassis, complemented by notions of raw cocoa, blood orange, smoked meats, rich soil tones and spices, it’s full-bodied, multidimensional and complete, with a weightless, elegant profile despite its prodigious concentration, its structuring tannins entirely concealed in an ample core of lively, vibrant fruit.VN94+94–96 pts. - Vinous - Oct 2020 The 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru has an intense bouquet of blackberry, briar and raspberry, interlaced with wilted rose petals and light ferrous aromas. The palate is very supple and voluminous, fleshy and generous, but maybe not quite as pixelated as the Latricières-Chambertin. It fans out wonderfully, though, and the lightly spiced finish just misses the intellect of Latricières. This represents a very serious Chambertin, and I would not be surprised if it lands at the top of my banded score.
RP96+96–98 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 20th Jan 2022 The king of the cellar is the 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru, a magical wine in the making that unwinds in the glass with aromas of cherries, blackberries, rich soil tones, espresso roast, rose petals, licorice, oyster sauce and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it’s seamless and complete, with huge concentration, lively acids and rich, velvety tannins, concluding with a long, resonant finish. Well-connected and well-heeled readers will derive immense pleasure in comparing the 2020 with the 2019 and 2018 renditions several decades from now. (William Kelley)VN95+95–97 pts. - Vinous - May 2022 The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru was picked on 7 September and a small plot around five days later. It has a beautiful, quite ethereal bouquet with a complex mélange of red and black fruit, the 80–90% whole bunch completely assimilated with wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, harmonious and smooth, immense depth and elegance as it fans out towards the finish with perfect sapidity. (Neal Martin)
RP90+90–92 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Jan 2021 There are around 30 barrels of Trapet’s 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, a lovely wine that mingles notes of wild berries with hints of dark chocolate, exotic spices and violets. Medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, it’s deep and lively, with powdery tannins and a long, perfumed finish. This derives from eight different parcels spread throughout the appellation.VN90+90–92 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2020 The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is vibrant on the nose, featuring generous raspberry and cranberry and a touch of chalk dust and singed earth, quite complex for a "mere" Village Cru. The palate is medium-bodied with filigreed tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Very elegant and refined, and the pure red berry fruit is lent spiciness by the 30% stem addition. Excellent.
RP90+90–92 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 20th Jan 2022 The lovely 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village wafts from the glass with aromas of cherries, red berries, rose petals and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, vibrant and concentrated, its velvety attack segues into a layered, seamless mid-palate and a long, perfumed finish. It’s a worthy follow-up to the 2019. (William Kelley)VN9090 pts. - Vinous - May 2022 The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a fragrant and well-defined bouquet given lift by the 30–40% whole bunch. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy blackberry and raspberry fruit, a little granular in texture with modest weight. Strict and fresh, this delivers an attractive black pepper note on the finish. All that you really want from a Village Gevrey. (Neal Martin)
VN91+91–93 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2020 The 2018 Chablis Vaucoupin Premier Cru is a sensual, open-knit wine. A bit shy at first, it opens up beautifully in the mid-palate and finish, with striking layers of fruit that give the wine its racy, voluptuous feel. Tropical fruit, pastry, vanillin and sweet spice give the 2018 a lot of exotic character. This is an ample, creamy and open-knit wine with terrific persistence and tons of class; it is very refined for the year.
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 21st Jul 2022 The 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Vaucoupin opens in the glass with notes of pear, fresh peach, citrus confit, blanched almonds and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and chiseled, it’s a precise, saline wine with terrific depth at the core and a racy, dynamic profile after the more powerful, weighty 2019 vintage. (William Kelley)VN92+92–94 pts. - Vinous - Oct 2021 The 2020 Chablis Vaucoupin 1er Cru has the best definition and clarity of Picq’s 2020s, delivering laser-like precision and vibrant citric fruit; blood orange scents develop with aeration. The palate is beautifully balanced with an intense saline entry, very good depth and a vibrant, lemongrass-tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. Superb. This would be my pick from Picq this year. (Neal Martin)
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 21st Jul 2022 Unwinding in the glass with scents of citrus oil, oyster shell, fresh pastry and light reduction, the 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Vosgros is medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a racy spine of acidity and a long, mineral finish. This is another impeccably balanced, precise wine from Didier Picq. (William Kelley)VN91+91–93 pts. - Vinous - Oct 2021 The 2020 Chablis Vosgros 1er Cru has a tensile, steely nose, backward at first, then revealing touches of yellow flower and damp earthy scents with time. The palate is well balanced with a very saline entry, strict and linear in keeping with Picq’s style, and displays fine depth and a tang of bitter lemon and blood orange on the finish. Excellent. (Neal Martin)
VN8787 pts. - Vinous - Sep 2022 The 2021 Chablis Vau de Vey 1er Cru has a forward, tropical tinged bouquet with just a touch of reduction. The palate is balanced with citrus lemon and orange pith, pretty like a Vau de Vey should be, though it does miss a bit of substance and grip on the finish. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis. (Neal Martin)
