2020 Maranges 1er Cru “La Fussière”
Jean-Claude Regnaudot et FilsOne of our Chablis producers turned us on to Didier Regnaudot’s family domaine, tucked away in the hilly southwest corner of the Côte d’Or. It was a decision I’m sure he regretted almost immediately, since we promptly began to buy as much as they’d sell us, jeopardizing the chablisien’s supply of house red! Not surprisingly, the Regnaudot wines have become staff favorites, prized for their easygoing character and value.

With some age, this will develop into one of the most gorgeous Pinot Noirs to ever grace your glass.

France | Burgundy
From a stony, upper-slope parcel just above Les Clos Roussots, the delicious Fussière is black-fruited, flinty, and structured.
2019 Vin de France “Grenache Noir”
France | Burgundy
The result is a red with a light touch and bright aromatics, yet still with a hint of southern French sun. Best chilled.

2021 Saint-Aubin Rouge “Les Eduens”
France | Burgundy
Even though the majority of Saint-Aubin is planted to Chardonnay, reds like Domaine Larue’s Les Eduens prove that the terroir here is also beautifully suited to Pinot Noir.

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.

Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
