Finest Burgundy Wines | Your Guide to Top Pinot Noirs | Vosne-Romanée, Pommard, Gevrey-Chambertin...

After looking at the top Chardonnays, the best white wines from Burgundy last week, Chablis, Meursault etc, let’s focus today on the best red wines made in the birthplace and homeland of Pinot Noir. It’s actually often not very well explained, let alone very well understood how a wine from Pommard is different from a Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny or a Vosne-Romanée. Of course, in Burgundy, there’s always going to be some variations in style depending on the producer, the exact terroir, which Grand Cru or Premier Cru you’re looking at within even the same village. Yet, there are some general stylistic differences that we can highlight and that are worth having in mind about how those wines are different. So let’s have a look this, precisely…

You deserve more views! These vids are really high quality

[@benlawrence8867]

Love the video, I find most other wine channels don't get as in depth and I appreciate the effortless way you explain and talk about wine.

[@ribbitrocks]

very good !! precise and informative - merci !

[@Yuuphonixx]

1985 Vintage of Romanée Conti, La Tache, and Grands Échézeaux are amongst the most expensive bottles in the world. Some of those vintages can be found in Florence, Italy at Enoteca Pinchiorri. I have yet to experience the three mentioned, but I have tasted plenty of burgundy wines and I can definitely say that burgundy is amongst the best, if not, it is the best.

Agreed

Excellent video. Just the sort of content I was after. Would be good if there was a summary slide at the end as a lot to digest.

Can you do a video about decanting or not to decant Pinot noir. I am of the belief that burgundy PN is too sensitive to decant, just to use a burgundy glass. What is your view.

[@sgist7824]

Would love to know this also

[@AltiWineExchange]

My vid about decanting wine here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqmpiXd6nsulhdk

[@AltiWineExchange]

HI there, glad that's of your interest. I made a video about decanting wine, where I actually decant a Burgundy Pinot, hopefully you see my views on decanting there and it answers your question: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqmpiXd6nsulhdk Pinot is probably more fragile that bigger more tannic wines, so decanting is probably less necessary in general, and you can probably get away with letting the wine aerate in your glass for a wine. But for old Pinots, it often needs a little while to aerate and open up as well. I wouldn't establish a rigid general rule like this, but rather go on a case by case basis, how old the wine, how much does each bottle appear to be needing oxygen, etc. There's the question of removing sediments from an old bottle as well, which is another aspect of decanting you can't overlook if the wine is 'dirty'. Hope this helps?

[@victormanuelbisbee7449]

You can try a pinot noir from Chile , cheap and excellent

[@TheOlesb]

You're so much on the wrong site....

[@victormanuelbisbee7449]

@@TheOlesb Not quite , we learn a lot from French wines down here and trust me Chilean wines are excellent

[@TheOlesb]

I've tried a lot of Chile PN, and my predominant thought has been to warm for the thin skin on PN, leading to a " burnt " and jammy taste and too high alcohol content. And yes some of it is quite okay, but the man is talking about the distinction between different parts of parcels in small appellations in Bourgogne. It's just a different planet, sorry

[@victormanuelbisbee7449]

@@TheOlesb certainly but in the new world much is learned out of expierence Lets say Chardonnay here is done following similar procedures as Chablis , Pinot Noir as Pommard . The alcoholic content is not higher in Chilean Pinot Noir is higher in whites Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, the other grapes are sweet wines ( botrytis) gewurztraminer/ rieslings. About the comment was a joke ( try chilean wine ) but I know burgundy and several others, had also been in Italy were me made a trial of Sangiovese in Chile ,

[@mackmoulin]

NONE, not a single wine can rival a good Burgundy. I dare you to name a few.
