“It is remarkable, almost irrational, how the finest 2019s maintain detail, clarity and tension and sapid finishes…their acidic nerve underpins the success of 2019. These are vivid and bright wines, shiny as a new button…..the 2019 reds will be more approachable, yet they have the balance and substance to repay cellaring.”
That’s Neal Martin, Vinous Media’s Burgundy guy, on the delicious 2019s. I’m increasingly all in on the vintage — it’s one of those rare years where we get to enjoy the best of both worlds; delicious the moment you open a bottle with soaring aromatics, lush mouthfeel and fresh acidity yet with the bones for serious aging. Usually, it’s one or the other, but the magic of 2019 is that we get both.
Lydia Cornu’s 2019s are absolutely electric– exceptional bottles that I’ve tried to order as much as possible of just to be safe. This Cote de Nuits bottling is carved off a small vineyard called La Montagne with the vines planted by Lydia’s father nearly 45 years ago. It’s offers a fleshy and round mouthful full of crunchy black cherry notes, a bright acidity and a smooth and lingering finish. It’s a Red Burgundy steal for this price.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
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.
Not Eligible for Futher Discount-From famed winemaker, Robert Foley comes an absolute delight of a bottle of wine. A seamless Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that is incredibly smoothly now but should have another decade easy of prime drinking. It is the definition of a Saturday Night bottle of wine. One to cherish for a special occasion.
