Burgundy

The soils and vineyards of Burgundy have been very well defined thanks to the studious Monks a few hundred years ago - and the swathe of others who have picked up the baton since.
The Golden Slope (Cote D'or) is divided into two; the Cote du Nuit to the north and the Cote de Beaune to the south. Pinot noir dominates the Cote du Nuit as it loves the limestone nature of the soils and Chardonnay thrives in the heavier calcareous marl soils on the Cote de Beaune.
The essence of Burgundy comes down to the place where the vines are grown. The more definitive you can be (e.g. a single vineyard like Grand Cru or Premier Cru) then the higher the price you'll pay. A village wine, which will most likely be a blend of vineyards from within the village won't be as expensive as its origins are a little broader.
To the north, Chablis is an outpost. Lying closer to Champagne than the Cote d'Or, its marine fossil laden soils (Kimmeridgian clay) make scintillating renditions of chardonnay which age beautifully.
To the south the Cote Chalonnais, Maconnais and Beaujolais make wines that are easier on the pocket. There's some great value to be had here. A few different grapes are added to the mix including Gamay and Aligoté (as well as pinot noir and chardonnay).
Red or White?
Both.
Grapes
White: Chardonnay, Aligote
Red: Pinot Noir, Gamay
Styles
The purity of chardonnay is on full display in a bottle of Chablis. Chiselled and tightly wound this is a crisp and salivating white. White Burgundy tends towards a riper heart but with spicy oak support.

Loire valley
Within France, the Loire Valley region produces the greatest diversity of wine styles. The array of wines made reflects the different sub-regions that share little in common due to the region's sweeping expanse. It's an exciting mesh of sparkling, dry, sweet, rose and reds styles.
Known as the 'Garden of France' the Loire Valley is a prolific food bowl producing delectable treats across cheese, cherries, apples, butter and vegetables. Covering 1000km from east to west, this picturesque region is a feast for both your eyes and tastebuds.
Grapes
White: Chenin Blanc, Melon de Bourgogne (Muscadet), Sauvignon Blanc
Red: Cabernet Franc, Gamay, Pinot Noir, Grolleau
Styles
The Muscadets of the Nantais are influenced by the maritime climate. These wines are subtly textured, freshly fruited and best drunk young with some oysters. Anjou is where Chenin Blanc shines in various styles - sparkling, dry and sweet. Touraine is home to the tuffeau soils which Chenin blanc loves in Vouvray, and we see some red wines here too. Lastly, in the Central Vineyards where the soils are similar to Chablis, Sauvignon Blanc is the cross-bearer producing some exhilarating wines in Sancerre and Pouilly Fume.

Domaine Philippe Collotte Marsannay Les Grasses Tetes 2019From two parcels of old vines; one based on Crinoidal limestone (known in France as Calcaire à Entroques), the other Comblanchien.
This wine is perfumed and pure with real depth, lovely minerality in an elegant and focused style. Are refined palate that is persistent and with nice drive but never comes off hard or pushy. Its velvety tannins mesh nicely with the small foresty-fruit mix carrying it to a long and satisfying finish. Seamless and classy this is all you could want from a wine like this and more.

Domaine Collotte Fixin Champstion 2016Made from vines planted in the early 1980's this wine shows lovely aromatics and remarkable finesse for the appellation. Fixin, just to the north of Gevrey Chambertin, is renowned for producing sturdy, rich Pinots yet here we have a wine with much more finesse than one expects.
The extra couple of years in bottle has done wonders for this wine and it's sitting in such a good spot. Underbrush and forest floor here sprinkled with currents, cranberry and baking spice alongside a peppery hit and savoury, wild herbs. Mellow and round but with plenty of bounce. There is a real joie-du-vie here that is hard to resist. A beautiful introduction to the wines of Fixin.

Domaine de Bellene Nuits St Georges 2018
A slightly fresher nose offers up decidedly floral-infused aromas of spice, the sauvage and black cherry aromas. Once again, the medium weight flavors are not particularly concentrated, but they are reasonably refined in the context of what is typical for the appellation, all wrapped in serious if slightly rustic finale. BURGHOUND
This wine is always one of the sleepers in the range. Initially it collapsies in on itself. Austere and muscular but after time it is a glorious expression of pure commune terroir. 2018 is one of the best examples I have seen. MICHAEL MCNAMARA

Marquis dAngerville Bourgogne Blanc 20191 BOTTLE LIMIT
Nuances of straw and petrol can be found on the ripe apple and citrus confit-scented nose. The racy, intense and utterly delicious middle weight flavors possess both fine volume and cut before concluding in a lingering finish that flashes very impressive complexity for a wine at this level. This is highly recommended. "Outstanding, Top Value" BURGHOUND2019Pinot noirFrance358$115.00 As low as $103.50 -

Domaine Joblot Givry Cellier Aux Moines 2020 1erThe 2020 Givry 1er Cru Clos Du Cellier Aux Moines opens in the glass with notes of cherries, raspberries, sweet spices and orange rind.

Georges Glantenay Volnay Les Santenots 2018 1erThis is the first wine to display any appreciable wood influence and even here it's subtle as it easily allows the black cherry, violet and warm earth-suffused aromas to shine. As one would reasonably expect there is more volume and much more power to the muscular and robust flavors that also exude evident minerality on the notably firmer finish. This is a big Santenots that will need at least some aging. BURGHOUND2018Pinot noirFrance358$215.00 As low as $193.50

A distinctly earthy and somewhat somber nose possess notes of underbrush, the sauvage, dark currant and plum.

This is a big wine in the context of the vintage and very Nuits in character. "Outstanding" BURGHOUND2017Pinot noirFrance358$230.00 As low as $207.00 -
Jane Eyre Gevrey Chambertin Corbeaux 1er 2017From the same producer as her Gevrey village. She’s been making this since 2015. Next to Mazis. 10% whole bunch. One of four barrels is new oak.
Mid garnet. Lots of minerally intensity and intrigue on the nose – very different from her other wines on the nose and with more race and tension, but still the same flattering, accessible, naked fruit. Well done! (17) JANCIS ROBINSON
This is the third vintage of this impressive premier cru from Australian micro-négogiant Jane Eyre, sourced from a single parcel next to Mazis-Chambertin. Pure, elegant and refined, it has cherry and raspberry aromas, subtle 25% new wood and just a hint of whole bunch sap. Textured, delicate and very long.

Jane Eyre Gevrey Chambertin Corbeaux 2016 1er
There are three barrels of the 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Corbeaux this year and it is due for bottling around February (indeed, there was a bit of reduction on the nose). It comes from a parcel adjacent to the lieu-dit of Mazis-Bas. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent red cherry and strawberry fruit, grainy in texture, a Corbeaux that exerts a gentle grip with impressive tension and sense of energy on the finish. This has great potential and may well surpass the 2015. NEAL MARTIN
First vintage 2015, from the same supplier as the Gevrey village wine. The parcel is right next to Mazis-Chambertin and Eyre sees some similarities to the Mazis fruit she used to have at Domaine Newman. Around 15% whole bunch. Three barrels, one new. Barrel sample. Eyre notes that it tends to be a bit reductive in the beginning, so it is bottled later than her other wines.
Darker and more savoury than the Savigny Vergelesses with a light charry note that is part reduction and part oak, I suspect. Succulent and lightly chewy texture though the tannins are very fine. Extremely moreish. The juicy fruit escapes around the edges and gives a long finish but a bit flattened by the oak at the moment. Wait.
