Here is our 2019 Black Friday pack selected specifically for lovers of red Burgundy. If you are interested in the white Burgundy-only pack or mixed pack, click here.
2018 Bourgogne Pinot Noir “Champs Cadet” • Domaine de la Cadette $36
This is young Pinot at its best: aromatic, expressive, and a true pleasure to drink.
2017 Marsannay Rouge “Clos du Roy” • Régis Bouvier $41
Bouvier fashions a red from his Clos du Roy parcel that is at once serious and gay, generous and firm, bold and elegant.
2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune “Vieilles Vignes” • Pierre Guillemot $42
The Savigny-lès-Beaune “Vieilles Vignes”—a blend of three parcels whose average vine age is half a century—is always a pale cranberry in the glass, but don’t let that fool you into thinking the wine is thin.
2017 Givry 1er Cru Rouge “A Vigne Rouge” • Domaine François Lumpp $59
The aromas are typical of fine Burgundy: raspberry, incense, cedar, and clove; on the palate, it presents a dense core and fine tannin. While all of François’s reds offer pleasure now and have good aging potential, none are more cellar-worthy than A Vigne Rouge.
2017 Gevrey-Chambertin • Lucien Boillot et Fils $82
Grandiose, opulent, black, and mysterious. No wonder this village, this domaine, and this wine have achieved such a reputation.
2017 Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru “Clos du Chapitre” • Domaine Follin-Arbelet $93
Clos du Chapitre evokes gorgeous red fruit with irresistible stoniness that gives it structure. As seductive as it is now, though, it will certainly evolve beautifully over the next ten to fifteen years.

2022 Givry 1er Cru Blanc “Crausot”
France | Burgundy
With aromas of apple blossom and marzipan, this Chardonnay is hard to resist on its own, but would be the perfect accompaniment to a semi-hard cheese like comté or baked steelhead trout.
2023 Saint-Aubin Rouge “Les Eduens”
France | Burgundy
This medium-bodied rouge, with notes of freshly crushed black cherries and cranberries filtered through stones, would be sublime alongside any kind of grilled or roasted chicken or turkey.

France | Burgundy
These Pinot vines soak up minerals, giving us a wine that’s profound, expressive, and as captivating as only high-quality red Burgundy can be.

France | Burgundy
Filled with notes of gorgeous red fruit and an irresistible stoniness that gives it structure

Les Roncières seems to embody everything traditional and authentic in the region, which is no surprise coming from the masters of Nuits-Saint-Georges.

France | Burgundy
Stylistically, Les Clous is in between La Fortune and La Digoine, characterized by medium weight with more red fruits, smooth but present tannins, and distinctive polish.
2023 Chablis 1er Cru “Butteaux”
France | Burgundy
There is no mistaking it—one taste and you are in Chablis territory: zesty minerality, wet stone, freshness and nervosity.

France | Burgundy
Succulent and concentrated with a magnificent grain, this cuvée is always among the more earthy and savory of Guillemot’s lineup.

Displaying both the oyster shell quality we love about Chablis and the sunny orchard fruit notes that make Bourgogne blancs so delicious.

France | Burgundy
All the purity and energy for which Larue’s wines are known, plus the depth and richness typical of Puligny.
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.

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. 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.
