Great information Thank you for the classroom lessens for free. Please everyone support this channel.
Thanks very much! Appreciate the kind feedback!
Great work! The elegance & style of Burgundy are so unique & irreplaceable. As price of the wines from famous vineyards is way too high for daily enjoyment for most of us, a wine connoisseur like you who knows the region & the producers becomes so valuable to recommend good wines with high QPR. Really appreciate it! I have tried 3-4 from your list, agree with you 100%. Hope you will make another Burgundy recommendation video in $100 -150 range.
Thanks very much! Very glad it was useful. Also appreciate the suggestion for a video at the higher price point. I’ll see if I can work that in. Cheers!
Wines from Burgundy are exorbitantly priced but @attorneysomm proves here that affordable Burgundy isn’t a ridiculous contradiction but a reachable reality. Thank you, John, for this fantastic video that shows us how we can enjoy excellent Burgundy without declaring bankruptcy. Greatly appreciated are the well-researched background information and interesting details you have provided about the wineries, winemakers, and vineyards including terroir, climate, and winemaking style, among other things. The research, the script, the entire presentation including the French articulation, and the video production are all outstanding and highly impressive. Felicitations, John! Santé et merci beaucoup!
Merci beaucoup M! Very glad you enjoyed it. Hope that you enjoy these selections. These are outstanding wines - especially for the price. Sante!
@@AttorneySomm De rien, John! I trust your recommendations - completely! I’ll try to look for these wines, and I’ll keep you posted with regard to my search. Santé!
@@margauxml Sounds great! Looking forward to your thoughts.
As usual very interesting and informative, thank you for your time and effort. Best regards from Brazil.
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it. Saude!👍🍷
@@AttorneySomm Saúde meu amigo.
I had Saint-Bris sauvignon blanc in my mind
Good video. Thanks. I buy my Burgundy en primeur, otherwise they would be just too expensive. The reds I am drinking just now are mainly '12 and '13 Villages - Gevrey-Chambertin and Nuits Saint Georges. I also have a good stack of whites and last week opened a 15 Auxey-Duresses, followed by a '12 from Vire Clesse. The Thevenet '12 was incredible: rich, long and complex.
Just one thing, all Burgundies benefit from bottle age and I suggest that the '18s are far too young - mine will stay in the merchant's cellars for a few years yet.
Thanks very much. Appreciate you weighing in. Agree with you re bottle age.
Bravo! Thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching and the thoughtful comment.
Sublime recommendations, John! Thank you for this well-researched and professionally done video. You sound eloquent in French, and the Aligote took me by surprise. 😄! It’s time for me to stock up on Burgundy wines. I appreciate this stellar selection. Cheers!
Thanks very much, Gina! Worked very hard on this video! The pronunciations were a lot of work for me as I did not take French. These are all excellent wines at very fair prices! Hope that you will enjoy them! Cheers!
These videos are amazing
Thanks very much! Very glad you enjoy them. Cheers!
Thank you…I will start looking for these wines and learn educate my self !
Thank you! I think you will enjoy them! Excellent wines.
@@AttorneySomm I am still thinking about joining you in Napa or anywhere when you take your next winery trip.
@@sanjaypatelmd4669 Thanks! Sometimes I combine with attorney meetings as well. I’ll be in Willamette next month.
@@AttorneySomm I am coming to Dallas for my friend’s wedding. If time permits we should meet for dinner at park place!
@@sanjaypatelmd4669 Thanks! Sounds good! You would enjoy my wine club as well.
Well researched and delivered. I am learning a lot from you. Do you recommend the WSET certification?
Thanks very much! Yes, the wset programs are excellent if you want to learn about the entire world of wine. If you only want to learn about certain areas, then there may be different courses that are better.
I would love to learn more and more about Burgandy wines… thank you….this is a start!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
When the time comes to create channel merchandise, Attorney Somm’s is going to all include the tagline “I enjoy very much!”
In all seriousness, this is such a great video and I just enjoy that line very much :)
Ha! Thanks! Very much appreciate the support and kind feedback. Cheers!
Would have been interesting to mention that de Villaine is one of the owner-manager of domaine de la romanee conti!
Yes, agree with you. Should have mentioned that.
Yes, agree with you. Should have mentioned that.
Been buying Burgundy at this price point and below - what I can afford - for 30 yrs, and I recognize two producers. It would be great if you would use your enthusiasm and expertise and inform us of wines with wider production.

Thanks! I have published dozens of top wine videos and one criteria I use to select wines to feature is broad distribution. All the wines in this Burgundy video should be available at least online. They were all at a local store in Dallas too.
P.S., here is a link to the playlist with more than 50 top wine videos with recommendations ranging from $15 to $75 and which are all readily available.

Thanks for the video! I am trying to start a collection soon and have been diving into wine lately. You mentioned the first wine would benefit from some age, would any of the others benefit as well? What is the best way to find out if a wine should stay in the bottle for a few years?
Thanks! In general, the premier cru wines (1er) benefit from some extra bottle age. Most of the village level whites and reds you can enjoy right away. Cheers!
Such helpful videos. Really appreciate your work.
Why is it that Burgundy wines typically receive lower scores from critics than other varieties while costing much more? Also I'd love to see some Italian videos from you!
Thanks very much! The Burgundy critics are notoriously tough graders (e.g., Burghound) whereas critics for other regions (e.g., JS) are known for very inflated scores. By comparing relative scores from the same critic, you can get better insights. My favorite all time wine was a Burgundy that only scored in the mid-90s. And there are lots of 100 point wines that did not impress (or that I thought deserved much lower scores). Did you see Biondi-Santi? Appreciate the tip though. I'll see if I can work that in.
@@AttorneySomm inflated scores come from everywhere nowadays, WA, JD... you name it. I find JR, WS & AG's reviews are more true most of the time, I'd consider AG is an authority on Italians, besides BH, JR also gives fair reviews on Burgundy. One reason for inflated scores, I'd think, is that most Bordeaux wines are widely available & consumed internationally, those critics inflate the score to help the sale & price. On the other hand, Burgundies are produced by the real farmers and consumed mostly in France. Another reason is the consumer tasting preference thanks to RP & JS, many ordinary drinkers enjoy ripe, bold & fruity wines (Napa CS for example) that are quite different from Burgundy in style. Do you agree?
@@williamhuang2976 Thanks for weighing in! A lot of excellent thoughts there. I’d like to give the Burgundy question more thought. I think lots of the high end Burgundies are exported on allocation. Also I was in Napa last fall and the ripe, overly extracted, oaky phase is definitely not as common. That is true in South America too. I tend to think it’s best for people to find a critic or two whose palate aligns with theirs (or perhaps one for each region). For me that has worked best.
@@AttorneySommThanks for reply. Top Burgundies definitely are exported to niche markets like America & Asia but those are just tiny portion of total production, I learned many years ago from a famous French critic when he compared Bordeaux to Burgundy, not sure if still true today. He also said Burgundy is the true French wine for French drinkers, Bordeaux is for British🤭 Top Napa wines deliver many styles & characteristics, the ones I'm referencing above mainly the cheaper ones, say, less than $50 that are more widely consumed. BTW, not long ago, I tasted a Kapcsandy (
@@williamhuang2976 Thanks very much! Certainly an interesting perspective. Appreciate you sharing these comments. Kapscandy is definitely an excellent producer!
Aligote!
Well done!
This burgundy wines are super expensive…. I have hard time justifying for price… are they worth money?
I enjoy trying them on occasion at tastings, but am not a huge buyer because of the prices. There are some exceptions of course. But volumes are much lower than Bordeaux so there is a scarcity issue for many of the top wines.
Prices of Bourgogne reds got run up in the aughts by investors who wouldn't know Pinot Noir from Malbec. None (zero) of it is worth the cost. Leave it to Las Vegas restaurants and gamblers who got lucky.
Thanks very much for weighing in. I agree that it is very difficult to find value in Burgundy these days. But numerous people requested this video, so I did extensive research and believe that these wines offer compelling quality for the price. The Roncevie, for example, is under-classified largely due to political reasons following the acquisition of the vineyard back in the 1960s. Cheers!
@@AttorneySomm I appreciate your effort (really). But you have to admit that as a class, the reds of Bourgogne are vasty over-rated. I can honesty say that in my years of wine drinking, I have never had a memorable bottle of Burgundy...at least not one worth the money. It's the one wine region of France that simply got priced out of existance. If I were making CZcams videos on the subject, I'd say "stay away".
@@slicksalmon6948 I definitely agree that as a class it is extraordinarily expensive - especially at the Grand Cru level. The pricing is stratospheric for many of the wines.
Aligote ???
Very well done!
@@AttorneySomm I've had some enjoyable and well priced Cremant de Bourgogne too... Majority of people will be surprised about sparkling wines from Burgundy !
@@ptg01 Thank you! I completely agree with you! 👍🍾
Aligoté
Not sure how to do the accents yet.
If you keep your finger on the e, options should pop up
@@stefanoinduni8009 Thanks! I’ll try that next time. Hopefully it works in iMovie.
Sigh.... if this keeps up. Even table wines will be unaffordable.
Lots of wines are getting more costly, but I think these are very fairly priced.
