                     Burgundy

2019 Olivier Leflaive Aligote
On sale for $23.99
Puligny / Beaune / France
100% Aligote
The “other” white burgundy grape, Aligote, has history, but more importantly, complexity on its side. This racy, mineral driven example expresses stoniness admirably. 
2019 Boyer-Martenot
Blanc
On Sale for $34.99
Meursault / Beaune / France 
100% Chardonnay
The fruit for Boyer-Martenot’s Bourgogne Blanc is culled from young vines of Meursault as well as fruit from sites just outside the appellation. The 2019 rendition is complex, focused and centered around orchard fruit.
2019 Dupont-Fahn
Les Clous
On sale for $79.99
Meursault / Beaune / France
100% Chardonnay
Sourced from a vineyard located just above the most 1er Cru sites in Meursault, this textbook example of the appellation offers hazelnut and baked apple aromas and flavors.

Bourgogne Rouge
On sale for $27.99
Morey-St-Denis / Nuits / France
