BOURGOGNE VILLAGE,<br />
TERROIR WITH AN AFFORDABLE<br />
PRICE TAG<br />
BY ALAIN ECHALIER<br />

COURTESY OF THE ESTATES,<br />
It is sometimes tempting to think that Burgundy is all about its revered giants,<br />
and nothing else. Its Chambertins, Montrachets and Cortons, all those ruinously<br />
expensive labels that are not only reserved for an elite audience, but also totally<br />
impossible to lay your hands on. Or at best, its Meursault and Gevrey Chambertin<br />
Premiers Crus, that are barely more affordable. But no, the ‘Village’ appellation<br />
level provides the perfect solution for those who want to drink very good wines,<br />
without breaking the bank. And if you’re prepared to spend some time searching<br />
– they are only produced on a boutique scale – some of them even have extremely<br />
affordable price tags. We dive deep into some classic offerings for enlightened<br />
enthusiasts, and a genuine treasure trove for the geeky browsers.<br />
