The star name and legendary family-owned wine producer in Gevrey-Chambertin is the Domaine Armand Rousseau.
Domaine Dugat-Py is also in the top names in Gevrey.
For other big names making top Gevrey wines, look out for Domaine Dujac, Domaine Fourrier, Prieuré-Roch or Domaine Trapet.
The most delicate Pinot Noirs in the World?
The Domaine Georges Roumier is a legend in Chambolle-Musigny, one of the longest-established estate bottling domaines in the Côte D’Or.
The Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is a producer to be reckoned with here.
Also look out for Chambolle Musigny wines made by the Domaine Jacques-Frederic Mugnier.
Many top producers and Maisons that own grand crus in different parts of Burgundy also make top Chambolle Musigny wines, like Domaine Faiveley, Joseph Drouhin or Domaine Leroy, the latter, Domaine Leroy’s Musigny Grand Cru
Clos Vougeot is the largest Grand Cru in Burgundy, with wine qualities varying depending on vineyards and producers. Only some top producers with holdings in the higher parts of the Clos make extremely thought-after wines here and command the highest prices for Clos de Vougeot like the Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, René Engel, Prieuré Roch, Liger Belair, and yes, again the Domaine Leroy which yes makes an outstanding Clos Vougeot. Like Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, they only make outstanding wines from various sites in Burgundy.
The Most Precious Gem in Burgundy
Domaine Leroy is owned by former director and current shareholder of no one else that Domaine de la Romanée-Conti itself, an icon of a woman in the world of wine: Lalou Bize-Leroy.
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is possibly the most iconic wine producer in the whole world, they do make THE most expensive wine in the world, uncontested or almost for decades from their Monopole Grand Cru vineyard the domaine is named after, Romanée-Conti.
I must quote at least the Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, Emmanuel Rouget, Sylvain Cathiard, Méo-Camuzet, Anne Gros, and AF Gros, Jean Grivot and Arnoux Lachaux.
Illustrous Monopoles
let’s mention here the Domaine du Clos des Lambrays who of course owns the entire 8-hectare of the Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru in Morey-Saint-Denis.
Similarly, and also in Morey-Saint-Denis is the Domaine du Clos de Tart and its Clos de Tart Grand Cru Monopole.
While the other illustrious Monopoles of Vosne-Romanee I didn’t mention before are La Grande Rue owned by Francois Lamarche and La Romanée by the Comte Liger-Belair.
There are also a number of Premier Crus that are Monopoles, including some that are among the most prestigious, often walled vineyards or Clos like Le « Clos des Perrières » in Meursault owned by domaine Albert Grivault, the Beaune 1er cru Clos des Ursules made by Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot, or the biggest Monopole vineyard in Nuits Saint Georges called le Clos de la Maréchale owned by Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier.
Let’s not forget the white wines
We must mention here the Domaine Leflaive based in Puligny-Montrachet, whose Montrachet Grand Cru
The single white wine made by Domaine de la Romanee Conti, that is also a Montrachet, as well as the few whites by Domaine Leroy, a Chevalier-Montrachet, Corton -Charlemagne, or Les Folatieres Puligny 1er Cru are also cult white wines.
While we must additionally mention a few important names in the world of Burgundy whites: The wines by Coche-Dury, including top Meursaults and Corton-Charlemagne. The wines by Domaine Ramonet like its Montrachet, Chevalier Montrachet or Batard-Montrachet, or Bonneau du Martray’s Corton-Charlemagne.
let’s mention other names you must be familiar with and look up further such as: Domaine Ponsot, Arlaud, Lucien Le Moine, Louis Jadot, Bertagna, Jacky Truchot, Olivier Bernstein, or Hudelot Noellat.
