Burgundy Grand Cru Wines: The Best That Burgundy Has to Offer
Burgundy Grand Cru wines are among the most exclusive and prestigious wines in the world. These wines are produced in vineyards of the highest classification in Burgundy, where the unique combination of terroir, tradition and craftsmanship results in wines of unparalleled quality.
What Are Grand Cru Wines?
In Burgundy, the term Grand Cru refers to a vineyard with exceptional characteristics, where conditions for growing grapes are perfect. Made from Pinot Noir (for red wines) or Chardonnay (for white wines), these wines are the epitome of elegance, complexity and finesse.
Well-known Burgundy Grand Cru Vineyards:
- Romanée-Conti (Vosne-Romanée): Perhaps the world's most iconic Pinot Noir, known for its refinement and depth.
- Montrachet (Chassagne-Montrachet & Puligny-Montrachet): A legendary white wine with an unrivalled balance of power and elegance.
- Chambertin (Gevrey-Chambertin): Complex red wines with powerful structure and deep aromas.
- Corton & Corton-Charlemagne (Aloxe-Corton): Both red and white Grand Cru wines of impressive quality and ageing potential.
- Clos de Vougeot (Vougeot): A historic vineyard producing elegant and refined Pinot Noir wines.
Characteristics of Bourgogne Grand Cru wines
Grand Cru wines are distinguished by their complexity, structure and ability to age for years. Typical characteristics are:
- Red Wines (Pinot Noir): Aromas of ripe red fruit, such as cherries and blackberries, with subtle earthy and spicy notes.
- White Wines (Chardonnay): Rich aromas of citrus, peach, nuts and honey, with a delicate minerality.
- Depth and Maturation Potential: Grand Cru wines develop beautifully in the bottle, with flavours becoming more complex and rich.
Why Invest in Grand Cru Wines?
Grand Cru wines are not only a delight for the senses, but also a worthwhile investment. These wines are produced in limited quantities; only 1% of all Burgundy wines carry the Grand Cru designation. As a result, they have great appeal to wine lovers and collectors worldwide.
