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.

2021 Marsannay Blanc “Les Longeroies”
France | Burgundy
It is pleasantly toasty and slightly nutty, evoking pretty orchard fruit and fresh citrus, with great acidity with a little grip.
2020 Vézelay Blanc “La Châtelaine”
France | Burgundy
La Châtelaine highlights what may be the best terroir of Vézelay and why this little appellation is on the map in the first place.
Ratafia de Bourgogne
France | Burgundy
The perfect addition to your holiday season: decadent and lush, full of dense autumnal fruit and Burgundian finesse.
2022 Chablis “Hommage”
France | Burgundy
My ideal situation is to devour fresh Dungeness crab smothered in garlic butter with lots of herbs sprinkled on top and pair that with intense stoniness, crisp, and racy mineral-driven structured Chablis. Try the Savary Hommage, I am telling you, a perfect match!
2020 Marsannay Rouge “Clos du Roy”
France | Burgundy
Bouvier fashions a red that is at once serious and gay, generous and firm, bold and elegant.
2020 Gevrey-Chambertin
Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils
France | Burgundy
Old-vine Pinot Noir blended from several sites across Gevrey-Chambertin provides a textbook rendition of this village.
2022 Juliénas
France | Burgundy
With loads of fresh Gamay fruit, it flows over the palate with a juicy buoyancy that simply makes it hard to resist.
2021 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.
2019 Saint-Véran “Les Pommards Vieilles Vignes”
France | Burgundy
2018 Irancy “La Grande Côte”
France | Burgundy
From a single-vineyard parcel on one of the family’s most primely positioned slopes, this bottling has more depth, concentration, and brambly tannic punch.
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.
