We sample the finest vintages Burgundy has to offer (at affordable prices too). To add a little twist, we pit crisp whites against smooth reds. But which will prevail?
OUR VERDICT
DOMAINE JEAN-JACQUES GIRARD, SAVIGNY-LES-BEAUNE 2014
Red and black fruits with a touch of spicy oak. This is a deliciously moreish red Burgundy. €15,90
DOMAINE BORGEOT CLOS DE LA CARBONADE MONOPOLE 2014
Light and lemony aromas. Rich and generous with a mineral finish, it is simply sublime! €12
CHÂTEAU DE CHAMILLY MONTAGNY 1ER CRU LES BURNINS 2014
Crisp apple and citrus aromas. This medium-bodied dry wine is a subtle palate cleanser. €19,50
DOMAINE BORGEOT LES BEAUREGARDS SANTENAY 1ER CRU 2011
Intense red berries with a pleasant hint of spice. This surprisingly light vintage verges on addictive. €19,90
