But, there have been a lot of changes in Burgundy over the last 20-plus years.” Because Burgundy is such a dynamic and ever-changing region, it would require a twenty-volume tome to capture its full range and depth. Few have the time to indulge in such a lengthy exploration, so we’ve condensed the highlights down to eight information-packed pages. [In this newsletter]( and highlighted below, you will find the wines and producers that are at the vanguard of this celebrated region. Of course, you’ll find the usual suspects, like Bruno Clair, Chevillon, and Joseph Faiveley, but also newcomers like Bachelet-Monnot. All in their own way are redefining Burgundy, while at the same time respecting the traditions of their predecessors. In so many ways, the wines are the best they have ever been. It is true, global demand has driven prices up dramatically, but with the right guide, you can find your way to a sea of affordable treasures. Producers like La Chablisienne, Domaine Joblot, and Oliver Leflaive are crafting world-class expressions that are easy on the wallet. But it’s not just individual producers that are making affordably-priced Burgundies, as there are whole regions within Burgundy that offer excellent bang for your buck. A significant portion of this newsletter is devoted to the value-driven appellations of Mercurey, Givry, Savigny-les-Beaune, Santenay, and the entire Mâconnais. Regardless of whether you are on the hunt for next your weeknight pour or a special occasion bottle, you will find a plethora of options that will fit the bill perfectly. Because the Burgundians are never ones to rest on their laurels, it continues to be one of the most exciting wine-producing regions in the world. The wines featured here are a testament to Burgundy’s innovative spirit and unwavering commitment to crafting the best wine possible.
