2020 Marsannay Rouge “Les Longeroies”
Régis Bouvier![- Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant](https://s3.amazonaws.com/efcheckout/kermitlynch/products/Kermit-Lynch-Wine-Merchant-2020-Marsannay-emRougeem-Les-Longeroies-Vieilles-Vignes-product-image-6885-medium.jpg)
Marsannay, just south of Dijon, makes red Burgundy with a true Côte de Nuits profile: dark, spicy, and irresistibly tart. Les Longeroies is one of the most esteemed lieux-dits in the appellation, producing hearty yet refined wines from a vineyard that also happens to be eligible for promotion to premier cru designation. Since French bureaucrats aren’t known for their quick turnaround time, don’t expect a label update soon, but do keep your eye on this village, notably this cuvée, whose star has been on the rise for quite some time.

France | Burgundy
It is pleasantly toasty and slightly nutty, evoking pretty orchard fruit and fresh citrus, with great acidity with a little grip.

2022 Chablis 1er Cru “Beauroy”
France | Burgundy
The premier cru Beauroy is a round, ample expression of Chablis from a south-facing parcel. Silky and suave on the palate, it finishes with a whisper of salinity.

A classic vintage that’s tart, earthy and generous; it’s beaming with pleasure and would be well worth cellaring, too.

Power and finesse, silken fruit and muscular tannin, and a noticeable, stony, goût de terroir.

2021 Fixin
France | Burgundy
Solid yet affordable cru burgundy with the structure, concentration, and complexity similar to Gevrey-Chambertin’s wine, as well as the bright fruit and accessibility of its other neighbor, Marsannay.

2020 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.

Bouvier fashions a red that is at once serious and gay, generous and firm, bold and elegant.

2021 Morey Saint Denis “En la Rue de Vergy”

The wine is firmly structured and robust, with dark, plump fruit that tastes fresh and utterly drinkable.

2021 Gevrey-Chambertin
France | Burgundy
Régis blends several plots to produce his Gevrey-Chambertin, and there’s a beautiful woodsiness on the nose, almost autumnal.
About The Producer
Régis Bouvier
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.

Let the brett nerds retire into protective bubbles, and whenever they thirst for wine it can be passed in to them through a sterile filter. Those of us on the outside can continue to enjoy complex, natural, living wines.
