Reviews:

• Allen Meadows: Remarkably fresh and pure with only the initial signs of secondary aromas and bricking color on the rim followed by rich, detailed, medium weight flavors of virtually no rusticity and fine length. This is an extremely pretty wine

• James Suckling: Excellent quality for a Gevrey village wine. Offers lovely, bright, vivid cherry, blackberry and earth aromas and flavors and a solid core of well-integrated tannins and fruit.

Producer InformationAnchored in Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Burguet produces a full range of suave and enthralling Pinot Noir. Alain Burguet, father to Jean-Luc and Eric, created the domaine in the 1970s. As a young man, he helped older vineyard owners tend to their vines, and as they gradually retired, he was able to purchase many small parcels across Gevrey, which formed the base of the domaine. With additional vines acquired through small purchases and inheritance over the years, today, Domaine Alain Burguet holds just over 10 hectares in total. Alain Burguet was one of the first growers in the village to resume plowing his vineyards, as well as to allow grass to cover them, in the 1970s. The entire domaine has been practicing organic since the 1980s, and thanks to an inherited anti-authoritarian streak, they are not certified agriculture biologique (or AB, as the label is called in France). As Jean-Luc jokes, “We are already A.B. - as in, Alain Burguet!”
