CHOOSING A GIFT
Of course the actual choice of gift for a Burgundy lover is far from easy in itself. If you don't know the recipient's preferences in detail, we would recommend the following as a guide.
Firstly, in general, most Burgundy lovers would rather have an interesting wine from a good producer than a more prestigious wine from an unknown producer. So don't just pick out the cheapest Grand Cru and hope to impress, but seek out a wine at your budget level from a really good producer. I have added a listing of my personal selection of excellent and reliable producers in the FAQs if you want to have a look. Or do call us for advice !
Secondly - unless you know the recipient has particular preferences - try to pick out something in what I would call the "middle ground". So in Fruit terms, Red/Black, in Body terms Medium/Ample, and in Flavour terms try to include Earthy, but probably not Gamey.
Thirdly, choose a wine to match your price budget. As a general guide I would suggest to consider the following :
at under £ 30, look for a Bourgogne Rouge, or "Villages" level wine from a good producer
at £ 30 to £ 50, most Burgundy lovers would enjoy a good 1er Cru from Volnay or Vosne-Romanee
between £ 50 and £ 100 then Grand Crus from a good producer should be in range - particularly from Gevrey-Chambertin and Clos Vougeot
above £ 100 then a really good choice would be a Grand Cru Musigny
Finally do remember to choose a wine without damaged or stained labels. We carry very few of these, and they are always noted in the product descriptions. If you do order such a product with a gift pack then we will try to contact you to check that you are aware of this, and whether you wish to go ahead.
