Pinot Noir from the Côte d'Or — the most scrutinised terroir-driven wines on the planet.
Top 100 Wines / Burgundy

The single most famous vineyard on earth. 1.8 hectares producing fewer than 6,000 bottles per year. Silky, ethereal Pinot Noir with a complexity no other wine quite matches.

DRC's largest monopole at 6 hectares. More structured and earthy than Romanée-Conti itself, with a spice-driven complexity that can take 20+ years to fully open.

One of Burgundy's grandest and most voluptuous Grand Crus. Full-bodied by Pinot standards, with remarkable richness and depth that ages magnificently for 30+ years.

Biodynamically farmed, impossibly low-yielding vines producing one of the most coveted bottles in all of wine. Hauntingly perfumed with rose petal, earth, and silky red fruit.

Napoleon's favourite wine. Rousseau's rendition is powerful and austere in youth, evolving over decades into something of majestic complexity and vinous grandeur.

A large Grand Cru with wildly varying quality across owners, but DRC's parcel consistently produces a wine of cherry, earth, and spice with 20+ year potential.

More structured than its sibling Échézeaux, with a firmer spine and darker fruit. Bridges the power of Richebourg with the finesse of La Tâche. Exceptional in warm vintages.

The most powerful and structured of the Morey-Saint-Denis Grands Crus. Rousseau's parcel consistently produces a wine of great depth, mineral drive, and 25-year ageing potential.

Roumier's parcels in Bonnes-Mares — both red and white clay sectors — produce a wine of extraordinary depth and power. More muscular than Musigny, it rivals the top Chambertin crus for sheer complexity.

The most coveted Premier Cru in all Burgundy — often selling at Grand Cru prices. "The Lovers" produces a hauntingly perfumed Pinot of rose, violet, cherry, and incomparable delicacy.

Many critics argue Clos Saint-Jacques should be a Grand Cru. Rousseau's parcel consistently outperforms several Grands Crus in blind tastings — powerful, structured, and profound.

The vineyard that gives its name to the whole appellation — often cited as deserving Grand Cru status. Gouges' estate-bottled rendition is firm, earthy, and built for long ageing.

The finest red wine of the Côte de Beaune. Graceful and feminine, Volnay Caillerets shows the elegance that the appellation is famous for — raspberry, violet, and silky tannins that evolve beautifully.

The Grand Cru that gave Morey-Saint-Denis its name. Dujac's whole-cluster, stems-included approach yields a spicy, perfumed wine with a silky texture and remarkable purity of fruit.
