2021 Marsannay Blanc “Les Longeroies”
Régis Bouvier
When a strong case is made, the French certifying body of agricultural products (the INAO) reviews certain notable terroirs for upgrades to premier or grand cru classification. Marsannay Les Longeroies is one of those select few up for consideration for premier cru status. It would be a fitting honor, especially for Régis Bouvier’s bottling. Its remarkable perfume reminds me of honey and acacia flower. The palate is long and luscious. If you put aside some bottles now, you’ll already have some when the price increases.

2012 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru
France | Burgundy
A classic Charmes, sensual and graceful, with a deep core of concentration.

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

2023 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.

2022 Givry Rouge 1er Cru “A Vigne Rouge”
France | Burgundy
The Lumpp style is on full display with this beauty: open-knit, fruit-forward, silky, and seductive Pinot Noir beckons.

2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 1er Cru “La Boudriotte”
France | Burgundy
Larue’s home turf is Saint-Aubin, but with this Chassagne-Montrachet, the family shows how well it can steward neighboring terroirs too.

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.

2022 Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise Rouge “La Fortune”
France | Burgundy
May Club Chevalier ~ This rouge is so silky and aromatic, reminiscent of strawberries and cherries. Open it over the next five years to fully enjoy its bright, fresh character.

2020 Rully Rouge 1er Cru “Cloux”
France | Burgundy
Vigneron Pierre de Benoist thinks the Cloux vineyard is arguably the best parcel for Pinot Noir in Rully.

2023 Petit Chablis
France | Burgundy
Lemon zest, star fruit, wet stone, and white flowers all coat the palate in a bonedry, vitalizing, and immensely enjoyable wine.

2017 Mazoyères Chambertin Grand Cru
France | Burgundy
More Morey-like than the Charmes, with more muscle and spice. The grandest and longest-aging wine in this collection.
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.

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
