The Bon Coeur Buying Team have highlighted their top white and red Burgundies from the classic 2021 vintage; where bright, vibrant, and charming wines in both colours have been produced. Producers believe it is a vintage that harks back to the future and is comparable to those from the late 1980s and early 1990s/2000s. Our buying recommendations are split into three categories (per 12x75cl respectively):
Under £250
Between £250-£500
Over £500 (excluding Grand Cru)
We are very happy to talk you through the vintage and discuss what will best suit your cellar / palate. Please be aware that as always, but even more so in vintages such as 2021 with drastically low yields, many wines are sold under allocation to those who have purchased them in previous years. However, if you are interested, please do let us know and we will do our very best to accommodate your request.
