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!
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.

Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous
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.
