We are going to be hearing about 2015 red Burgundy for a long time. It’s a benchmark vintage of the highest quality with better than average yields. Burgundy expert Clive Coates, MW has written that in his opinion, the best Premiers Cru vineyards in the Beaune appellation are Grèves and Teurons, stating that they “produce Beaune at its most elegant: fullish, but properly round, rich and balanced, with plenty of depth.” The Premier Cru Teurons vineyard lies in the middle of the Beaune appellation due west of the village. Geoffroy Choppin de Janvry has been running the show and making the wine at Albert Morot since 2000. He immediately implemented organic techniques and now is officially certified. Regarding the 2015 harvest Geoffroy commented that the fruit was, “ripe and as clean as could be.” For his 2015 Teurons, he used 20% whole clusters to give the wine freshness, and was light-handed with extraction. This terroir-driven wine is concentrated and complex. Time in the cellar will help; drink from 2021-2035.

The ham in the DRC Sandwich! La Grande Rue is one of the greatest pieces of wine real estate in Burgundy (and therefore, the world), situated between the famed La Tache and La Romanée Conti, and in the supernal 2015 vintage, it is absolutely stunning. It's expensive, yes, but with La Tache trading for roughly $4,000 and La Romanee Conti well over $10K, La Grande Rue looks to be quite fairly valued. Top marks from all the critics, to boot. Our expectation is that it won't be long before this famed Burgundy fetches four figures. EXTREMELY limited.
