It takes some off-roading to win the race to find red Burgundy at a price that doesn’t break the bank. It’s easy to cruise down the rue nationale and find world-class Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanee, or Nuits Saint Georges.
It just takes a driver and a fat wallet as those wines start at $75 and quickly go north from there. In the case of Domaine des Chambris, I had to get up into the Hautes Côtes, a pastoral area set in the hills above the more famous Côtes de Nuits.
Here, winemaker, Pierre Laurent’s high elevation, organically farmed vineyards are a terrific new source for fresh red Burgundy. Pierre produces Pinot Noir with crunchy red fruit, pure, fine aromatics and a sharp vibrancy that makes it just sing with food. It’s a bargain; in my experience, there are very few red Burgundies with at $40 that deliver this kind of delicious drinkability.
At today’s price? Forget it, load up, I backed up the truck on this one.

Great wine for roasted turkey at your next holiday celebration!
This is a very, very special library offer from our friends at Val di Suga and is also a very limited one. There are only a few of these amazing six-pack collector’s boxes for sale. Two bottles each from Val di Suga’s three single vineyard sites. Val di Suga is the only Brunello producer that controls three separate estate vineyards located in three specific climate zones in the appellation. Each vineyard site has its own unique exposure and geo-climatic features which expresses itself in every bottle. Not to be missed. *Original wooden boxes come included.*
Now some of the best Pinot Noir in the world comes from the Yamhill-Carlton District (this small neck of the woods has earned its own AVA) and specifically from Shea Vineyards. Big name wineries clamor for fruit: Antica Terra, Beaux Freres, Bergstrom, Penner-Ash, & Sine Qua Non, to name a few. This Pinot is lights out and even given the pedigree, drinks several echelons higher. Blueberry, Blackberry, Blue Cheese (?!?), chanterelle mushrooms, lavender, mint – I could go on. It’s literally got it all, but I won’t spoil it for you.

San Giorgio Ugolforte is the sister winery of Poggio di Sotto. Their 2017 presents a dark core of red and black berry fruit layered with earth, leather, smoke, and herbs. It’s a complex and elegant expression, that presents a full mouthfeel that is firm in tannin structure. The refreshing acidity frames a graceful finish. Just a classic Brunello di Montalcino.

“The 2021 Syrah-Grenache is another fabulous wine from Tyler and Rachel Eck. Bright, savory, and vibrant, the 2021 bristles with energy from the get go. Lively acids run through a core of blue/purplish fruit, lavender, cloves and menthol. The 2021 is deep and full of flavor yet also light on its feet. Today, it is positively stellar.” -Antonio Galloni
