Burgundy: Affordable choices
Some of the Burgundy region’s “most thrilling” wines bear regional or village appellations.
“Yes, the first taste of a grand cru burgundy can stop the world around you,” said Thomas Pastuszak in Saveur. But the Burgundy region’s top producers apply the same care to grapes grown in humbler vineyards, so some of the area’s “most thrilling” wines bear regional or village appellations.
2011 Domaine Roulot Bourgogne Blanc ($35). Jean-Marc Roulot’s entry-level white “has a similar elegance” to his revered premier cru chardonnays.
2011 Domaine Marquis d’Angerville Bourgogne Pinot Noir ($40). This old-vine Volnay red offers an affordable “glimpse into the greatness” of the estate’s premier crus.

2010 Domaine Roblet-Monnot Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru Le Val ($48). A “stunner” at this price, this “weighty,” peppery pinot noir is rare in being a premier cru that’s undervalued.
