Can anyone recommend any good (value) white Burgundy? I keep seeing references to them in cookbooks but I've yet to try one.
For a really special wine with character that won't break the bank, Macon Verze by Leflaive is about $35 and always excellent.
Not my picture, but we enjoyed a fair amount of this over the holidays. I'd say it was finely balanced, well suited to food and judging by the quantities our guests consumed, eminently delicious: 2009 Leflaive Macon-Verze... about $30
Ok so I have come to the conclusion that CdP is my favorite red. So earthy, smells great in the glass, really love it. Not wasting my time with anything else going forward, unless it's Burgundy or Piedmont or Champagne.
I'm too poor and not patient enough for burgundy. I have come to terms.
but spending a lot of money on water is always a huge kick in the teeth, (and the wallet).
Well it doesn't seem to have to sit very long, but spending a lot of money on water is always a huge kick in the teeth, (and the wallet).
IMO, some age can really benefit a solid Burg. I bought a 2002 Bachelet Bourgogne at Crush a few weeks ago and it was a killer wine that really benefited from the time.
I feel like this topic comes up every few months on the wine threak. There are those who compare Burg to a minefield and a waste of money. And then there are others (me, matt, slew, manton) who love Burgundy and have had great luck. Ok, maybe it's not luck at all.
$20 for a Drouhin Cote de Beaune or $30 for a Bachelet Bourgogne Rouge strike me as great value plays.
