For my money this is unquestionably the best deal in red Burgundy at the moment. Winemaker David Croix has been nailing it as winemaker at this micro negoce from his first vintage in 2001 and the range of sub $35 Burgs he produces gives lie to the (almost) universally accepted notion that you can’t find drinkable, let alone good, red Burgundys in this price range. While there’s no comparing this fairly humble wine, actually declassifed Meursault rouge, to great Volnay or Pommard, there’s plenty of room for comparison to anything less than great Volnay or Pommard and at a fraction of the price. The transparency and purity of the 2007 vintage shines here with pretty, minty, small red fruit notes. and the slightly edgy Cote de Beaune structure. Striking density and presence from a wine of such plebeian repute. $25
