In 1896, André Ruinart commissioned the Czech artist Alphonse Mucha to create a poster that would showcase the house. Since then, the house has gone on to commission some of the world’s finest contemporary artists and designers, giving them free reign during their residencies to pay tribute to its cuvées, its history, its heritage and its crayères: the impressive chalk cellars that are listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site.

The regions idiosyncrasies and complexities had in the past left it isolated and reserved for the cognoscenti. With the pending release of the 2015s, it is hard to recall such excitement, interest and demand amongst global the fine wine community. Neal Martin’s scores are out and there are a splattering of ratings from Stephen Tanzer (Vinous), we still await scores from Burghound but regardless of the latter, the quality of the 2015s is without question. Neal Martin remarks ‘make no mistake, 2015 is a great vintage’, whilst Steen Ohman of WineHog proclaimed ‘ I have never tasted anything like the very best 2015s’. With demand for Burgundy growing rapidly over the past few years, we believe that 2015s present investors and collectors with a great opportunity to secure a number of the most celebrated producers and their highest quality cuvees at first release.

  • Food and Wine Pairing in Burgundy: the Case of Grands Crus
    beverages Review Food and Wine Pairing in Burgundy: The Case of Grands Crus Benoît Lecat 1,* and Claude Chapuis 2 1 Wine and Viticulture Department, California Polytechnic State University, 1 Grand Ave, Building 11, San Luis Obispo, CA 93407-0861, USA 2 School of Wine & Spirits Business, Burgundy School of Business, 28, Rue Sambin, 21000 Dijon, France; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-805-756-2415 Academic Editors: Edgar Chambers IV and Robert J. Harrington Received: 5 November 2016; Accepted: 3 February 2017; Published: 9 February 2017 Abstract: Burgundy is known both for its wines and its food products but they developed independently from each other. This paper examines the long march towards maximal wine quality which started before the beginning of the Christian era. In the Middle-Ages, the Cistercian monks brought up the notion of terroir which eventually led to the AOC system (Protected Designation of origin) in 1935. Burgundy is also blessed with good farming land. Furthermore, the production of quality vegetables, fruits and meat contributed to the birth of its regional cuisine. However, it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that Burgundy’s original gastronomy gained recognition. It should be noted that this process was rather laborious. The advent of tourism introduced French and foreign visitors to the region’s lifestyle. With UNESCO’s listing of the vineyards of Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits as part of the world’s heritage and the development of wine tourism, Burgundy intends, at long last, to capitalize on its assets.

  • The Climats of Burgundy Official Candidate for France for World Heritage List Inscription
    The Climats of Burgundy Official Candidate for France for World Heritage List inscription Terroirs steeped in history, devoted to excellence Treasures for humanity THE CLIMATS in a few words In Burgundy, when we speak of a Climat, we do not look up to the sky, we keep our eyes to the ground." Bernard Pivot, writer, Membre de l’Institut, President of the Support Committee What exactly is a "Climat" in Burgundy? In Burgundy, the word "Climat" refers to a named, specific vineyard site, a parcel or plot of land whose limits have been determined over several centuries. More than 1,247 Climats spread over the region from Dijon to the south of Beaune, shaping the landscape like a mosaic. Each of them has its own history, produces wines with a distinct character and taste and keeps its own place in the hierarchy of the Burgundy crus; some have illustrious names like Chambertin, Romanée-Conti, Clos de Vougeot, Montrachet, Corton, Musigny... Why are the Climats unique? Nowhere else in the world has man shown such determination to so precisely link a wine production to its place of origin. The result is an extremely fragmented vineyard system, supported by a solid winemaking expertise that is committed to excellence. Its remarkable landscapes include towns with an exceptional architectural heritage like Dijon and Beaune, all of which combine to form a very special type of economy and culture. What exactly do we hope to have inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List? The listing application is not limited to the vineyards themselves. Our objective is to obtain official recognition of the history and culture of an emblematic territory.

  • The Promotion Demotion Debate: Burgundy Grand Crus Vs 1Er Crus
    roberson wine presents: the promotion / demotion debate burgundy Grands Crus Vs 1er Crus THURSDAY FEBRUARY 26th 2009 the promotion / demotion debate the terroir Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet grand cru; 3.69 ha “It can sometimes be rather weak and feeble” Clive Coates MW The bottom right hand corner of Bâtard-Montrachet (which is actually the North-East corner) is the Grand Cru of Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. It shares borders with Pucelles (1er Cru) and Les Enseigneres (Village), and some of the producers that own vines in this site are literally a stone’s throw from these lesser vineyards. Leflaive, the largest owner, always price the Bienvenues a good deal cheaper than the Bâtard, and despite their old vines in the best part of the vineyard, there is seldom the definition or purity that is found in its more illustrious neighbour. Meursault ‘Perrières’ 1er cru; 13.72 ha “At its best it is positively brilliant, certainly comparable to Bienvenues or Bâtard.” Clive Coates MW Commonly recognised as the finest of Meursault’s 1er crus, Perrières is right on the border with Puligny-Montrachet and includes the Clos-des-Perrières, which the Grivault family have sought for years to have promoted to Grand Cru status. In fact it is the wines of Coche-Dury, Guy Roulot and Dominique Lafon that have established this vineyard’s modern day reputation. The vineyard is divided into a number of sections, and it is the ‘Dessous’ section that is considered to yield the finest wines (although Coche-Dury has his vines in the upper part of the site).
