Finding a good $60 bottle from the CdN is a tall task, so when I find a fantastic one for under $30/btl on cases, I don’t just dip my toes in, I dive in head first. So when the bottle is from one of our favorites, you know I take every bottle they let me.
For about a decade or so, the high elevation, organically farmed vineyards of Lydia Cornu have been THE go-to source for elegant red Burgundy at Nicholas Wines. The 2021 vintage is particularly fine though, the product of the first cool vintage in years which yielded wildly aromatic, low alcohol Pinot Noir with pristine, pure fruit that finishes fine and fresh and absolutely sings with food.
The only downside and this is a trend that seems to have no end in sight in France and in Burgundy in particular, there are precious few cases to go around. So few, that I swear to god we even lost a few cases from open inventory as I sat down to write this offer (luckily we had a P.O.!).
No estate in Burgundy quite delivers the bang per buck in Red Burgundy. The couple have been managing vineyards in both the Hautes-Côtes and the Côte for decades, growing more savvy along with the vines, and adapting to the changes in weather patterns over the years. 2021 was a year in which some estates struggled, but the overwhelming quality in their CdN Villages bottling is almost staggering.

The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
