Times are hard for the vignerons of Burgundy. Mounting financial pressures and catastrophic weather events in recent vintages have added strain to the life of these hard-working farmers, all while foreign investors with heavy pocketbooks are on the lookout for opportunities to buy up prestigious domaines, making the temptation to sell hard to resist for those down on their luck.
    Fortunately, Burgundy is a land made up of fervently impassioned individuals who are strongly tied to their soil—a people so entrenched in their traditions that they will likely never cease to embody the values that have come to define them. The Burgundian vignerons we represent are so strongly committed to their craft that they will do anything to protect their terroir; the Côte d’Or’s recent UNESCO World Heritage classification is proof.
    Today we celebrate Burgundy’s fine Pinot Noirs with six soul-stirring reds from vignerons proud to work these hallowed grounds. From an entry-level sipper to the majestic beauty of a grand cru, you’ll find red Burgundies to enjoy now, later, and in between—the ultimate terroir sampler to support the growers of Burgundy and cherish the fine wine they have brought us. –Anthony Lynch
