The 2023 Bourgogne Grand Chaliot is slightly deeper in color. This has a more introspective bouquet with sous-bois and light truffle scents permeating the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and perhaps a touch of rigidity toward the finish at the moment. 85 points. Drink 2023 - 2026. Neal Martin, Vinous

The bottle was opened yesterday. Grown below Nuits-St-Georges, and all destemmed, then vinified in a big tank, so no punching down. A fuller ruby purple colour with a richer pinot fruit, raspberry and plums. Again, there are some tannins here, though with enough fruit to match, so give this a couple of years. 88 points. 4 / 5 stars Drink from 2027-2029. Jasper Morris
This blanket regional appellation can apply to wines throughout Burgundy (60% of the area's production) as long as they comply with regulations relating to grape type, yield and alcohol content. Reds and roses are from Pinot Noir or Gamay. Whites are Chardonnay. They are usually the most straightforward of the Burgundy wines, and as a result are the least expensive and the most approachable upon release. In the hands of a more serious producer these can represent exceptional value and quality. The wines are made with the same care and attention to detail as their grander wines. However, they may not qualify for a village or communal appellation because the vines are too young or the vineyard area is outside the appellation boundary.
