Vintages New Release Collection – November 8, 2025

BURGUNDY’S BOUNTY Burgundy, one of the world’s oldest and finest wine regions, is the ancestral home of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir . These celebrated wines, synonymous with refinement, authenticity and terroir, are global benchmarks.

Burgundy stretches nearly 300 kilometres from Chablis in the north (about 180 kilometres southwest of Paris) to its southernmost growing area, Mâconnais . Most of Burgundy’s wines come from east-south east-facing sloped vineyards in a 120-kilometre section made up of four principal growing areas collectively known as Côte d’Or: Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais. Chablis’s northern location makes it cooler than the rest of Burgundy, and its ancient Kimmeridgian limestone soils have a high percentage of fossilized sea life. Chablis is the gold standard for crisp, cool- climate, mineral-inflected Chardonnay. These wines rarely receive oak treatment and are strikingly different from Chardonnay grown elsewhere in Burgundy, many of which are creamy and rich with significant oak influence. Monks working Burgundy’s vineyards during the Middle Ages began to recognize that individual vineyard plots produced unique-tasting wines. Their precise observations resulted in the establishment of the complex mosaic of small parcels, each graded and ranked in terms of quality and style, that make up Burgundy. This degree of specificity often causes confusion, as many wine labels do not indicate white or red, or that the bottle contains Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, but merely state the village or vineyard where the grapes were grown.

In select sites, small amounts of the white grape Aligoté and red Gamay are permitted.
