The Burgundy Pyramid
Making sense of the complexity of the complexity of Burgundy isn’t easy.
Though Burgundy only comprises 5% of France’s vineyard area, it holds 100 different Appellations, 25% of the entire French total. There are no less than 5,000 growers, 85% of whom own less than 10 hectares, and four fifths of them make wine.

René Lequin-Colin
Santenay, France
This 9 hectare family domaine, which dates back over 300 years, has a lovely range of vineyards, deriving from the marital conjoining of Lequins from Santenay and Colins from Chassagne-Montrachet.

Lequin-Colin, Bourgogne Chardonnay, Back to the Roots, 2021
From two vineyard plots bordering Santenay. 100% barrel fermented, with 10% new oak; and given regular lees stirring to develop texture and breadth. Intense and rounded. Rich, spiced nose; followed by pure citrus fruit and a slight honeyed edge. Tasted like a much grander wine. Now-2026
"Yes, there is savoury oak on the nose, but it’s good-quality oak and so is the fruit – even if just a tad spicy at this stage. Very accessible and great value. Extremely user-friendly. VGV 16.5/20." Jancis Robinson MW, 29th January 2023, jancisrobinson.com
Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.Read More
