| Barbara's Insights: Burgundy
For those clients who believe the finest Pinot Noir wine is grown on that narrow strip of hills known as the
Cote d’Or, we are always searching for pleasurable Burgundies for their enjoyment from respected producers, rather than from large negotiant houses. Here are two wines from the acclaimed 2006 Vintage that we are offering this weekend, through Monday, at tremendous reductions.
Now through Monday $49.99!
“It's an elegant and refined vintage that is about pleasure but pleasure in the classic Burgundian model of finesse and purity.”
-Allan Meadows on the 2006 Vintage

Alain Burguet Gevrey-Chambertin “Tradition” 2006 $69.99
NOW $49.99
"This is unusually pretty and very pinot yet with the expected undertones of Gevrey character that are also picked up by the elegant, precise and pure middle weight flavors that possess good energy and punch," writes Allan Meadows (Burghound) 88 pts. With low yields and a triple sorting system, Burguet keeps only perfect fruit.
*This photo of Breton & Joly has nothing to do with this wine but they do look very happy. If you want to be this happy, buy this wine.

Jacques-Frederic Mugnier
Nuits-Saint-Georges “Clos des Fourches” 2006 $69.99
NOW $49.99
The '06s are vibrant, pure, transparent and possess excellent energy. "A slight herbal note adds nuance to the equally ripe, pure and complex nose that combines notes of dark berry fruit, violet, earth and a whiff of the sauvage that carries over to the rich, textured and round middle weight flavors." -Burghound 89 points.
