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.

A mini-vertical and horizontal comparison of the two most recent vintages (2021 and 2022) of Benoît Sordet's Premier Cru Beaunes are brought together in this bundle of fine reds.

Domaine Albert Bichot Grand & Premier Cru Chablis 2019-2022

Albert Bichot is a well-known Burgundy producer, including wines from Chablis. This lot is exclusively comprised of Grand and Premier Crus from the incredible 2019 and 2022 vintages, most produced by Domaine Long-Depaquit, the largest of Bichot's independent operating wineries.

 

Domaine François Buffet Premier Cru Volnays 2022

Marc-Olivier Buffet is a master at crafting elegant, finesse-driven Volnays and his 2022 Premier Crus are extraordinary. 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 Remoriquet Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges 2017-2022

From his home village of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Gilles Remoriquet produces single vineyard Premier Cru and Village wines of distinction. In this bundle he presents you with an opportunity to try two wines from the rightfully famous Dessus des Malconsorts vineyard in Vosne-Romanée, along with four different Premier Cru and Village Nuits-Saint-Georges, including an aged one that is now at its best.

 

Domaine Dupasquier Nuits-Saint-Georges and Aloxe-Corton 2022

In his inaugural bundle at BurgDirect, fifth generation winemaker Vincent Dupasquier offers a range of Premier cru and village reds from his Nuits-Saint-Georges properties. These wines show the signature fresh, fruit-forward appeal of the 2022 vintage, but have some serious depth that will reward some cellaring. Fortunately, the two bottles of village-designate wines can be drunk without too much cellar time.

 

Château de Laborde Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin 2018-2021

Hervé Kerlann, owner of the magnificent 17th century Château de Laborde, delivers a range of Premier Cru and Village reds from his Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin vineyards. Conveniently, the wines in this bundle have some bottle age and can be enjoyed immediately.

 

Domaines Jérôme Patriarche and Bader-Mimeur 2022 Meursault & Chassagne-Montrachet

Bringing together wines from two wonderful, small domaines (Jérôme Patriarche and Bader-Mimeur), this bundle provides 2022s from famous, fantastic single-vineyard Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet plots.

 

Domaine Tortochot 2022 Premier Cru Morey-St.-Denis & Old Vines Gevrey-Chambertin

Chantal Tortochot has been receiving increasing critical praise for her range of Côte de Nuits-based red wines. This bundle features two bottles each of Premier Cru and Old Vines Village selections from Gevrey-Chambertin and Morey-Saint-Denis. 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 Bony Gachot 2021-2022 Côte de Nuits Premier Cru and Village

Focused mostly on nearby, family-owned vineyards in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Vosne-Romanée, Fabienne Bony offers a range of wines from these Côte de Nuits appellations. Recently bottled wines from the widely-heralded, dense and complex 2022 vintage are presented alongside two Premier Crus from 2021. This offers a nice variety for the drinker as 2021 was a much cooler vintage, affording "classically" styled Burgundies that are fresh, light, and ready to drink quite young.

 

Domaine Launay-Horiot 2022 Premier Cru and Village Pommards

Xavier Horiot presents a sampling of Premier Crus and single-vineyard Village Pommards from the 2022 vintage. Pommards are characteristically big-bodied wines, but this set includes examples that are softer and can be enjoyed young.

A set of terrific 2022 White Burgundies - only Grand and Premier Crus - from Christine and Clémentine Gruère-Dubreuil. This bundle includes two bottles each of the famous Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, as well as Premier Crus from nearby vineyards in Savigny-les-Beaune and Pernand-Vergelesses.

 

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. But they also have included a 10 year-old Premier Cru to showcase the beauty of the wines when allowed to age.

 

Domaine Dubois 2021 Red Collection - Village, Premier & Grand Cru

Domaine Dubois has pulled together a wonderful set of their very small production 2021 Grand Cru, Premier Cru and Villages reds. Headlined by the very famous Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru (the largest Grand Cru vineyard in the Côte de Nuits), this grouping includes both larger scale reds meant for some cellaring as well as lighter, early drinking wines from Volnay and Nuits-Saint-Georges.

 

Domaine Mazilly 2021 Premier Cru & Village Reds

Father and son, Frédéric and Aymeric, work together at this modest-sized family estate in Meloisey to produce balanced yet fruit-forward wines, even though much of their vineyard holdings are in communes regarded for their comparative richness and depth (e.g., Pommard, Gevrey-Chambertin). In this bundle, they offer a collection of their highly allocated 2021 reds from Premier Cru and Village holdings that will be enjoyable young despite their vineyard pedigrees.

This lot from Albert Bichot introduces wines that span the Côte d'Or, and range from Village wines to Premier Crus.

As these wines have several years of bottle age - all coming from the wonderful 2017, 2018 and 2019 vintages - they can be enjoyed without extended cellaring.

 

Young & Old: Tortochot 2021 Gevreys & Bader-Mimeur 2015 Volnay 1er Cru

In this unusual mix, we thought it would be fun to combine wines that are all drinking well now even though some present freshness and youth while others have enjoyed the maturity that comes with ideal cellar aging. The fresh and lively vintage of 2021 is showcased by single vineyard and old vines village Gevrey-Chambertins, while the glorious, powerful 2015 vintage Volnay 1er Cru has rested long enough to present a serious, more mature red experience.

 

Bader-Mimeur Chassagne-Montrachets 2016 & 2020

Nathalie and Sebastien are offering you a range of their wonderful 2020 Chassagne-Montrachets, plus an aged old vine Chassagne which is ready to drink.
