Prestige Offers
Prestige offers are High Qualityselections of Rare Village and Premier Cru wines from lesser known producers
Not every Burgundy finds its way to America. Many small winemakers from highly prestigious locations, such as the hillsides of Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, don’t have distribution in the US. While we won’t carry regional wines, we will share our discovery of Village wines whenever we come across something very special.
While many multi-generational family-owned wineries lack the brand recognition of big names, they have holdings in the exact same Grand Cru vineyards. Beyond just the Grand Cru label, these undiscovered wine producers can offer more interesting, higher quality hand-crafted wines from the best vineyard sites, thus producing extraordinary wine.
As such, we at BurgDirect have gone to great lengths to physically explore the region and taste the wines so that we can carefully select the domaines we want to feature. These are wines that are often good to drink right away and pair with delicious food.

Domaine Dupasquier Nuits-Saint-Georges and Aloxe-Corton 2022-2023
Fifth generation winemaker Vincent Dupasquier offers a range of Premier cru and village reds from his Nuits-Saint-Georges and Aloxe-Corton properties. These wines all feature an appealingly fresh, fruit-forward nature, but have some serious depth that will reward some cellaring. The two bottles of village-designate wines can be drunk without much cellaring at all, and the Premier Crus, though a bit weightier, can be consumed anytime over the next five+ years.

Hervé Kerlann, owner of the magnificent 17th century Château de Laborde, delivers Village reds from his ample and diverse Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin vineyards. A range of four different wines across three vintages, most ready to drink right away.
Domaine François Buffet Premier Cru Volnays 2023
Marc-Olivier Buffet is a master at crafting elegant, finesse-driven Volnays and his 2023 Premier Crus are wonderful. If you've tried these wines in past vintages, you will not be disappointed at all by these beauties. Buffet's wines, especially his Volnays, have a silkiness and "feminine" appeal to them, never asserting themselves with big power and opulent fruit. They are refined, aromatic, and velvety.
Domaine Tortochot 2023 Premier Cru Morey-St.-Denis & Old Vines Gevrey-Chambertin
Chantal Tortochot, who directs this biologically-farmed domaine that is now ECO certified, has been receiving increasing critical praise for her range of Côte de Nuits-based red wines. This bundle features an even split of Premier Cru and Old Vines Village selections from Morey-Saint-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin, all from the terrific new 2023 vintage. Although these vineyards often lead to wines which are quite firmly built and powerful, Chantal's wines are slightly lighter, owing to the domaine's preference for more elegant wines.

Domaine Marchand-Grillot 2013, 2021 Gevrey-Chambertins
Despite their location in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin, a Burgundian village famous for producing very powerful red wines, Domaine Marchand-Grillot leaned into the hallmarks of the vintage and fashioned a set of 2021 Premier Cru and Village wines that are softer, smoother and more approachable than the vineyard designation might suggest.
