The 2019 Albert Fontaine Bourgogne Pinot Noir was a Merchant's Pick

Burgundy Alert • We were told it doesn't exist!

October 17, 2024

We asked ten importers for their best-value Bourgogne Rouge below $25. Most told us it doesn't exist and brought us their version of the next best thing.

 

Lo and behold - a stunning $25 Bourgogne from the highly prized 2019 vintage emerged.

 

We had to taste it to believe it.

 

Usually, there are slim pickings for a GOOD red Burgundy at this price point.  And from 2019?  We were floored.  Finding an exceptional red Burg at this price point requires a bit of due diligence.  

 

Finding one with age?  Unheard of!

 

The 2019 Fontaine Bourgogne Rouge is a shockingly great value! With 5 years of bottle age, this Bourgogne Rouge is still gushing with ripe fruits, layers of flavor, and perfectly balanced tannins. This is one of the best values that has ever come through our doors.  This is what we call a "mandatory floor stack."  Rich in aromas, it offers cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberries.  Medium body it has a spine of licorice, cassis, and currant. Mouth-watering acidity leads to a robust, long finish full of chewy and earthy tannins. Crowd-pleasing for all levels, you will enjoy this wine whether you are a novice, a wine lover in general, or a seasoned Burgundy aficionado.

Too good to be true - the importer had only 7 cases, and we grabbed them all. 

Here is your chance to be one of the few who can load up on this exquisite value. 

The immediate food pairing is the obvious beef Bourgogne. However, this Pinot Noir has enough character to stand up to even the most adventurous foods.  Pair this beauty with a winter squash and goat cheese galette, cave-aged cheese, or any dish with wild mushrooms; the possibilities are endless! 

Technically, this wine should not even exist, so be sure to keep this one secret.

Enjoy!
