The quality of a Burgundy depends entirely on the talent of the winegrower and the quality of its original vineyard. Certain origins of the vineyard can be located in prestigious appellations such as Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, or just outside a great appellation but still worthy of mention. For example, the famous Chablis winemaker Patrick Piuze discovered a vineyard east of Chablis named Les Boutots which he liked so much that he made it the source of his formidable 2019 Patrick Piuze “Les Boutots” Bourgogne Tonnerre ($ 26), an impressive full-bodied white with hints of citrus and stone fruit.

Burgundy Blanc from vineyards “almost all at village level,” according to his Boston-based importer Robert Hurley, president of Cynthia Hurley French Wines. Burgundy Henri Boillot 2019 ($ 39) comes mainly from the vineyards of Meursault as well as Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Romain and Auxey-Duresses. It’s a rich and beautifully balanced white with a phone number library touch of toasted oak. Another talented young producer, Joseph Colin gets his supplies in Burgundy from a vineyard in Puligny-Montrachet whose vines are almost 50 years old. His formidable Joseph Colin La Combe Bourgogne 2019 (40 $) was therefore very puligny-montrachet: intensely mineral with lively acidity and a saline note on the finish.

The 2019 Domaine Ballot Millot Bourgogne Chardonnay ($ 33) was another fine wine from a talented young producer, Charles Ballot, whose incredibly racy white also comes from the vineyards of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. The energetic but supple 2019 Domaine Bzikot Bourgogne Côte d’Or Chardonnay ($ 39) comes mainly from a village vineyard in Puligny-Montrachet “less than five meters” from the vineyard where the famous Domaine Leflaive sources its fruit for its Bourgogne Blanc, according to Bzikot importer Juan Prieto. Mr Prieto added that this Bourgogne Blanc is one of the most sought after wines that it matters. “The price has remained fair and it is excellent value for money,” he said.
