The Undiscovered Burgundy
BY ANTONIO GALLONI |
Burgundy remains one of the most fascinating and alluring regions in the world. The ability of wines to convey a sense of place reaches its height of expression in these storied villages and vineyards. Sadly, prices in Burgundy have spiraled into the stratosphere over the last fifteen years or so and pushed a number of wines beyond the reach of many consumers.
Burgundy remains one of the most fascinating and alluring regions in the world. Although it is unquestionably thrilling to taste at Burgundy's top domaines, as a wine consumer myself, these days I find just as much pleasure in discovering emerging vignerons - the best of whom are making wines the average consumer can afford to buy and drink - as well as appellations that still fly under the radar and offer value.
