The Great White Vintage: 2024 Burgundy

The white Burgundies of 2024 are flush with beautiful, delineated fruit with great acidity, drive, and cut. There’s wonderful precision and balance with excellent complexity and integration of all parts. Another wonderful aspect of the 2024 is that most alcohol levels are in the classic 12.5 to 13.5% range. The first batch of 2024s just landed in our stores, and they live up to the hype!

New Burgundy Releases from Direct-Import Standouts

Today's Burgundy Newsletter shines a spotlight on several direct-import favorites and their recent releases that have just arrived in stock. The Chardonnays of 2022 are the focus with Sylvain Langoureau's superb St-Aubins, Paul Pernot's ultra-classic Puligny-Montrachets, Mâconnaise value stunners from Château Vitallis, and Chablis QPR performers from Seguinot-Bordet. The old-school 2021 red Burgundy vintage is highlighted by a quintet of astounding 1er Beaune offerings from Albert Morot for simply unbelievable pricing.

2022 Domaine Sylvain Langoureau: A Stunning Set of Wines

In 1989 Sylvain Langoureau took over the reins of his family winery, becoming the fifth generation to tend the nine-hectare domaine located in the small hamlet of Gamay on the hillside where Puligny-Montrachet and St. Aubin meet... These are easily some of the greatest values we carry in white Burgundy at K&L.
