This topic must have been covered many times on this site, yet I couldn’t find quite what I’m looking for. I am wondering which you all think are the very best 1er crus in Burgundy, the ones that might be considered Grand Cru in quality. With the price of most Grand Cru Burgundy in the stratosphere, I was hoping to get a taste of these wines at a “bargain” (emphasis on the quotes). I’m interested in both red and white. These are the ones that I think of, love to hear what you think. And please feel free add why you made your choices, shout out specific producers, and vintages.
Admittedly, I haven’t had most of these, I gathered this list mostly from reading.
Red:
Vosne- Cros Parantoux, Malconsorts, Les Beaux Monts, Les Suchots
Gevrey- Clos St Jacques, Les Cazatiers, Combottes
Chambolle- Les Amoureuses, Charmes,
Nuit St George- Les St George
Volnay- Cailleret, Clos de Chenes
Pommards- Grand and Petit Epenots, Les Rugiens
White
