Red Burgundy Sampler
6-Pack
While it is easy to fall under Burgundy’s charm and be dazzled by its enchanting wines, digging a little bit deeper reveals a complex geological puzzle of limestone, clay, sand, marl, gravel, and stone. For a relatively small stretch of land, its terroir is shockingly diverse! The number of appellations is impressive, and the differences you’ll encounter in wines from neighboring plots of land are fascinating. This is a region not easy to master, yet all the more intriguing to discover!
On these mythical slopes, the noble Pinot Noir finds its ideal home. Cultivated by skilled hands, the finicky grape yields to the terroir, allowing each appellation and parcel of land to express itself. The intricacies and nuance of these wines are born from a variety of factors, including the dedicated vignerons who tirelessly work their vines to achieve the purest representation of their treasured land.
Whether your tastes tend toward the elegant and supple, the dense and powerful, or the bright and lively, you will find a worthy companion. Our red Burgundy sampler lets you taste your way through these esteemed appellations to discover first-hand the wondrous possibilities the region is capable of providing to sensitive palates.

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.
