Jasper Morris MW’s Inside Burgundy has been the benchmark reference on Burgundy’s wines, winemakers and vineyards since its first publication in 2010. Completely revised and over 150 pages longer, the award winning second edition covers what’s changed in the last decade – and shines a light on Burgundy’s more affordable areas. Delve into the rich world of Inside Burgundy with this limited-edition pack bringing together a beautiful hardback copy of the book and a pair of wines from two of Burgundy’s winemaking stars.
This pack contains one of each of the following:
Inside Burgundy (Second Edition)
2021 Bachelet-Monnot Bourgogne Blanc Côte d’Or
2021 Benjamin Leroux Savigny-lès-Beaune
This Bourgogne Blanc comes from some seriously impressive terroir: 1.3 hectares of 20- to 50-year-old vines in the Puligny area (spread across four parcels) and a plot of young-vine Chassagne on chalky soil. These source vineyards—combined with the quality of the viticulture, harvest date and confident, hands-off winemaking—give one of the best value white Burgundies in our portfolio. As always, a no-brainer.
“A Domaine at the very forefront of white Burgundy.” Jasper Morris MW on Bachelet Monnot
Screwcap. The lion’s share of this vintage comes from the outstanding Aux Fourneaux lieu-dit in the north of the village. Leroux works with lots of Pinot Fin here (a high-quality, low-yielding cultivar of Pinot Noir); vines that give low yields and great concentration. Les Conardises also contributed this year, and both parcels were fully destemmed. The wine was matured in 600-litre barrels.
"Benjamin’s wines stand out for their terrific quality – the sense of opulence is vivid, yet terroir is evident above all else." Jasper Morris MW on Benjamin Leroux
