2021 Alain Burguet Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Favorites VV

The 2021 Alain Burguet Gevrey-Chambertin “Mes Favorites” Vieilles Vignes comes from Domaine Alain Burguet in Gevrey-Chambertin (Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits), a family estate founded in the 1970s that sources fruit from old-vine parcels (~75 years average) across several climats around Gevrey and Brochon and practices careful vineyard work and gentle, minimal-intervention winemaking to showcase terroir expression. The “Mes Favorites” cuvée is the domaine’s signature village-level Pinot Noir, vinified with native yeasts, destemmed fruit, and 18 months’ barrel ageing, yielding a structured yet elegant profile typical of top village Burgundy. In terms of published professional scoring, there are no widely cited official ratings at or above 95 points from major critics for this specific 2021 bottling; village-level Gevrey-Chambertin wines generally receive more modest scores and, for this wine, exact elite scores are not broadly available. However, expert commentary (including from Allen Meadows/Burghound) notes that the 2021 “Mes Favorites” is very good for its level and that it will likely drink well from the late 2020s into the 2030s, indicating strong quality and aging potential for a village wine.
