Here at Weygandt Wines, we know that what it takes to make a great bottle of wine is a combination of the perfect vineyard site, talented people and a lot of hard work. This is what it takes for wines to transcend their appellations and their price.
This Saturday, June 5, 2010, from 1PM to 4PM visit Weygandt Wines to taste six Bourgogne level wines from six of Burgundy’s top growers, that are anything but generic. We will have open to sample three white Burgundies (100% Chardonnay) and three red Burgundies (100% Pinot Noir). And too help celebrate all things Burgundy, Weygandt Wines is putting our entire selection of Burgundy wines on sale for one day only. This is an in-store only event. All Burgundy wines will be 15% off by the bottle, and 20% off by the case, mix or match. The Lineup:
Domaine Remi Jobard Bourgogne Blanc 2007, Regular Price $29.99, Sale Price $24.99 – Burgundy, France – 100% Chardonnay – 13.3% abv – Sustainable - A relatively complex and really quite pretty nose of floral and lemon aromas that give way to round, rich and nicely detailed middle weight flavors of grapefruit, lemon and spice notes that bring to bear lovely intensity on the racy, vibrant and dry finish of modest length. Good juice at this level.
Domaine Raymond Dupont-Fahn Bourgogne Blanc “Chaumes des Perrieres” 2008, Regular Price $29.99, Sale Price $24.99 – Burgundy, France – 100% Chardonnay – 13.5% abv – Biodynamic - Fresh and lively, showing lime, hazelnut and pastry flavors. Nicely balanced, charming and enjoyable now, with moderate length.
Domaine Dugat-Py Bourgogne Blanc 2006, Regular Price $48.99, Sale Price $39.99 – Burgundy, France – 100% Chardonnay – 15% abv – Organic - A very gentle touch of wood frames aromas of freshly cut melon and straw and leads to delicious, rich and relatively full-bodied flavors that display an almost invisible hint of minerality and plenty of punch and vivacity on the nicely long finish. Excellent quality at this level.
Domaine David Clark Bourgogne Rouge Au Pelson 2007, Regular Price $31.99, Sale Price $26.99 – Burgundy, France – 100% Pinot Noir – 13% abv – Organic - A very earthy and admirably ripe nose of red and blue pinot fruit with floral nuances that precedes round, concentrated and delicious flavors brimming with dry extract that relegates the moderately firm tannins to the background on the mouth coating finish. A bit rustic on the finish, so pair with hearty food.
Domaine Serafin Pere & Fils Bourgogne Rouge 2007, Regular Price $35.99, Sale Price $29.99 – Burgundy, France – 100% Pinot Noir – 13% abv – Organic - A pretty but serious dark berry and fresh earth nose introduces equally earthy and fresh flavors that possess good detail and only mild finishing rusticity.
Domaine Dugat-Py Bourgogne Rouge 2007, Regular Price $46.99, Sale Price $38.99 – Burgundy, France – 100% Pinot Noir – 12.5% abv – Organic - A notably ripe nose of raspberry liqueur precedes nicely rich, full and fresh flavors that are still very primary in character and culminate in a concentrated and persistent finish. Very good quality at this level and certainly worth a look.
