Summer wines: 5 reds from Burgundy
Burgundy reds, made from Pinot Noir alone, offer superlative finesse. They generally go through several distinct phases. When young, Pinot Noir reveals fresh, appetizing fruit, before becoming more complex and floral with age. For summer, we recommend young Burgundies with this fruit vigor. Give preference to generic Burgundies, and leave your bottles from prestigious villages like Pommard or Gevrey-Chambertin in the cellar.
