Red Burgundy
| Burgundy is possibly the most confusing of any wine area as a result of the fragmented ownership of the vineyard land. At best, the wines, both red and white, have great finesse and elegance. In all areas of wine production the most important piece of information on the label is the name of the producer, as both good and bad wines come out of every area, every year. Nevertheless, nature has been kind to Burgundy over recent years, and the producers whom we follow have managed to produce lovely wines for several vintages in a row. Michel Guillemot in Macon achieves greater intensity in his wine every year, and Dury's Rully seems to get better and better. | |
St. Aubin 1er Cru, Henri Prudhon et Fils Prudhon produces wines that offer a true representation of Burgundy, but at non-Burgundy prices. One of the oldest families in Saint-Aubin where viticulture has been handed down the generations. Currently run by Gérard Prudhon, who is a strong believer in traditional and ecologically sound methods of production. All Prudhon's wines have a great clarity and purity and the Premier Crus are remarkable in their complexity and sophistication. |  |
