2017 Bourgogne Pinot Noir
Domaine Régis Bouvier
Bouvier is based in Marsannay-la-Côte, just south of Dijon in the northern Côte de Nuits. Bruce Neyers wrote me last night to tell me that this Bourgogne rouge and the one from our own Pierre Boillot are his two go-to reds (when he isn’t drinking Tempier Bandol or Vieux Télégraphe, that is). That endorsement is about as solid as you can get, since Bruce’s cellar is chock-full of the finest red wines of France. Bouvier’s early-release Pinot Noir is all about charm and comfort: classic Burgundian Pinot Noir aromas and flavors, and a deeply fruited and solid core.

2023 Bourgogne Rouge
France | Burgundy
All you need to know is that this wine drinks like a Beaujolais with loads of black, sappy fruit and is ounce per ounce more pleasurable and delicious than anything you’d find in a collector’s stash.

2016 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Hameau de Blagny”
France | Burgundy
Power, finesse, succulence, and striking acidity... Pair with delicate crab meat and relish in the experience.

2023 Bourgogne Rouge “L’Ermitage”
France | Burgundy
A beautiful Cadette rouge with a bit more structure and plenty of pleasure.

2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Les Chaignots”
France | Burgundy
For all its density and weight, an earthy suggestion of Burgundian terroir still hides within.

2023 Chablis 1er Cru “Mont de Milieu”
France | Burgundy
Top-notch, organically farmed premier cru Chablis.

2021 Marsannay Blanc “Clos du Roy”
France | Burgundy
I find the Clos du Roy blanc to be quite versatile at my house in Meursault, especially with fowl, pork, and veal.

2020 Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru “La Genelotte”
France | Burgundy
De Chérisey produces classic Chardonnay that seems as if from a different time. White Burgundy like this doesn’t come around very often.

France | Burgundy
An incredible wine that defines the region by marrying power, earth, finesse, dark fruit, silk, spice, and ageability.

2022 Mercurey Rouge “Les Montots”
France | Burgundy
It is easy to forget that it isn’t a premier cru

2021 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru “Les Fichots”
France | Burgundy
With plush notes of red fruit and cocoa abounding in the glass, this Pernand punches way above its weight.
About The Producer
Régis Bouvier
Régis Bouvier in Marsannay achieves a rare hat trick in Burgundy, the mastering of all three colors–red, white and rosé, through reasonable yields and high quality terroirs. Bouvier makes the best Burgundian rosé that we have ever tasted, his whites are delicious, with their own particular character completely unlike other Chardonnays from Burgundy, and his reds are his crowning achievement, managing to be wild and exciting while refined and elegant at the same time.
About The Region
Burgundy
In eastern central France, Burgundy is nestled between the wine regions of Champagne to the north, the Jura to the east, the Loire to the west, and the Rhône to the south. This is the terroir par excellence for producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The southeast-facing hillside between Dijon in the north and Maranges in the south is known as the Côte d’Or or “golden slope.” The Côte d’Or comprises two main sections, both composed of limestone and clay soils: the Côte de Nuits in the northern sector, and the Côte de Beaune in the south. Both areas produce magnificent whites and reds, although the Côte de Beaune produces more white wine and the Côte de Nuits more red.
Chablis is Burgundy’s northern outpost, known for its flinty and age-worthy Chardonnays planted in Kimmeridgian limestone on an ancient seabed. Vézelay is a smaller area south of Chablis with similar qualities, although the limestone there is not Kimmeridgian.
To the south of the Côte de Beaune, the Côte Chalonnaise extends from Chagny on its northern end, down past Chalon-sur-Saône and encompasses the appellations of Bouzeron in the north, followed by Rully, Mercurey, Givry, and Montagny.
Directly south of the Chalonnaise begins the Côte Mâconnais, which extends south past Mâcon to the hamlets of Fuissé, Vinzelles, Chaintré, and Saint-Véran. The Mâconnais is prime Chardonnay country and contains an incredible diversity of soils.
