Burgundy 2007 - Pure Whites and Elegant Reds
With the exception of the 2002 and 2005 vintages, the early vintages of this century have been difficult ones in Burgundy. As 2007 wore on, conditions, again, were hardly conducive to the production of fine wine, yet this is a year where the vignerons have risen to the challenge, producing charming and even excellent red wines in a year that would have been written off as a disaster as little as three decades ago. And the whites, it is great to see, have continued the trend of excellent vintages that we have been delivered over the last four years. Is there a new era in Burgundy, where what may have once been perceived as potentially calamitous growing conditions are now turned to the advantage of the winemaker? An era of positivism and pragmatism in the profoundly fickle region seems to have taken hold, and looks to be here to stay.
My team here at Glengarry are continually searching for wines from all corners of the world that deliver quality and exceptional value for money. Over the years we have built many relationships with some of the greatest wineries in Burgundy, and our General Manager, Liz Wheadon, has travelled the length of the region securing good supply of the best wines available. I am delighted to offer this wonderful selection from 2007. Our Fine Wine team based in our cellar stores are eager to meet you and help you with your selection.
Cheers,
Jak Jakicevich
