The “Burgundy is the Color of Love” Urban Sampler: $50

There is no better way to show love to your Valentine than to engage him or her with a bottle of wine. When the bottle is French (and from Burgundy) it makes the moment all the more romantic. When Burgundy comes to mind all one can think of is the countless appellations and the true influence of terroir that makes every sip feel like you are on a carefree vacation in France. These wines will make you want to shout, “Vive L’Amour et Les Vins de Bourgogne!” ($67 of wine for $50)

  • 2010 Joseph Drouhin Bourgogne Blanc: Dedication to the diversity of Burgundy has always been the sole focus of Maison Joseph Drouhin. Saint Veran lives at the southern end of Burgundy, and is stylistically close to Pouilly-Fuissé with its golden hue, greenish reflection and refreshing taste. Pair it with a home-cooked meal for that someone special. 
  • 2006 Jean Rijckaert Bourgogne Blanc: This stainless steel aged Chardonnay is everything one would want in a Burgundian Chardonnay; it is well balanced, clean, and boasts tons of minerality from the Jurassic limestone soil. While this wine would pair with a variety of dishes, it would make a great aperitif before a big night out!
  • 2010 Danjean Berthoux Domaine du Moulin Neuf Pinot Noir: From the Cotes Chalonnaise région, this is an estate that produces rich yet rounded, well-balanced, and dependable pinot noir. An elegant frame of pleasing acidity and soft tannins supports bright cherry and herbal notes. This pinot noir is the way to any wine lover’s heart!
  • 2009 Domaine Jean Marechal Bourgogne Rouge (Pinot Noir): While Domaine Jean Marechal wines are crafted according to traditional methods, they also invest in the latest winemaking techniques and incorporate the latest research into their winemaking. Classic Mercurey wines are often described as the “iron hand within the velvet glove” and this wine fits that description with loads of power behind silky smooth tannins.
